Guitar Face



In other important news, check out this NYT piece about competing guitar grimaces. (Be sure to check out the slide show!) Known in England as "throwing shapes." Categories include "the pout, the pucker, the catfish (open mouth), the heavy squint and the full-face wince." That's the master, AC/DC's Angus Young, above.

Email your pose to guitarface@magrack.com to enter the contest. Seriously.

Also, this is one of those cases where you gotta love the NYT's well-known guideline, which insists on using formal titles. Therefore, Eddie Van Halen becomes "Mr. Van Halen."

What next? "Sir Edward Van Halen"? Well, maybe not.
