Top RnR Moment

I did this presentation in class, but never posted a piece about it on my blog. I think that is what led to the fact that no grade was present in your book.

I chose to do a report on Peter Townshend of The Who starting the act of destroying instruments on stage. This all started due to an accident: cracking the head of the guitar on a low ceiling during a performance. He continued to smash the guitar to make it look like he did this on purpose. Also, A famous incident of instrument destruction happened to the The Who. This included explosives in drums going off too early, harming a few of the band members. No one was seriously hurt. Jimi Hendrix later copied this art by burning his guitar at the Monterey pop festival.
