How an average musician put aside his "there" guitar and reinvented himself as Bjorn Turoque, the take-no-prisoners future of air guitar. The true story of how mildly successful guitarist and New York Times writer Dan Crane relinquished his instrument and became Bjorn Turoque (pronounced "b-yorn too-RAWK"), the second greatest air guitarist in the nation. This exploration of the international air guitar sub-culture addresses the issue of dedicating oneself to an invisible art in order to achieve the ultimate goal of "airness"-that is, when air guitar transcends the "real" art that it imitates and becomes an art form in and of itself.
