Thurston Moore No Guitar Hero

“I tried playing Guitar Hero. I was over at Jemina Pearl’s house, the singer from Be Your Own Pet in Nashville, and she had it and I was like, ‘Aw man, that’s so fuckin’ easy!’ And she’s like, ‘Yeah?’ … And then I tried my hand at it. I couldn’t even get out of the gate. I was just splayed on the living room floor, bleeding and humiliated.” —Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore [Pitchfork]
