A Wider Net

Altering a bronze status of Jimi Hendrix, that was built in memory of his Isle of Wight performance, so that it looks like he is playing Guitar Hero is, indeed, a clever idea. But even those of us who like the Guitar Hero franchise and it’s arguably superior competitor, Rock Band, are sick of the promotional overload. Vandalizing the statue of a rock god is no way to appeal to the fans of rock music. To anyone else with a similarly clever idea: Don’t. Just don’t.
