Indiana University\u2019s Jacobs School of Music has just announced the acceptance of its very first Air Guitar Performance Major, a young man named Chaz Rodriguez. \u201cYou know, man, I guess it\u2019s pretty dope being the first,\u201d Chaz told reporters last Friday. When asked about the bold decision, the Jacobs School\u2019s Director of Admissions Espen Jensen clarified, \u201cWe really want as many people as possible to pursue their dreams of being famous musicians, no matter how \u2018unconventional\u2019 their talents may be. And trust me, Chaz is\u2026different.\u201d When asked about his decision to audition on air-guitar as opposed to an actual instrument, Chaz informed Flipside that the amount of practice was simply too much. \u201cMy parents paid some dude to teach me some stuff, but he kept telling me to practice. Like shit, man. How am I supposed to make time for that when I\u2019ve got school and friends and shit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Due to some pushback in the school of music, things weren\u2019t looking up for Rodriguez\u2019s music career. However, once Jensen intervened, he finally got the opportunity he hadn\u2019t worked hard at all for. Chaz reflected, \u201cThey all thought I was some kinda\u2019 hooligan playing a joke at first, but man, after I finally got my phone working and got some Hendrix goin\u2019 I knew I had them hooked.\u201d When asked what it was that really pushed him past all of the others who auditioned, Mr. Jensen revealed that it was Chaz\u2019s natural showmanship that got him accepted. \u201cHe clearly had no idea how to actually play the guitar, and it was pretty uncomfortable waiting for him to turn off the porn that was already loaded on his phone. But once that solo hit and he started flipping his hair back and forth as he dropped to his knees, we knew we had something special.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, Mr. Rodriguez\u2019s future with the school is still yet to be determined following allegations of performance-enhancing drug use after photos of him smoking a joint with his air drummer surfaced on Facebook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
