Guitar Hero 2: I got a owie

Posted at 11:48 AM on December 17, 2006 by Jon Gordon

In the San Jose Mercury News, John Orr turns in a nice review of the PS2 game "Guitar Hero 2." It starts with a cute and funny anecdote. This made me laugh out loud.

True story: A couple of years ago I had been practicing guitar and had just put my Gibson 335 on its stand when my little boy Riley walked in. Riley is named for B.B. King (whose real name is Riley) and had already heard plenty of blues music by this time, when he wasn't quite 3 years old.

He walked up to my guitar, stood behind it with the neck over his shoulder, reached around to pluck the strings, and sang in his best blues voice, ``I got a owie . . . I got a owie.''

So when ``Guitar Hero II'' for PlayStation 2 arrived, I thought it might be fun to try it out with my family.
