Guitar Odds and ends: More Odds than ends

There is always a lot of strange happenings in the world of guitar. Being odd is almost a requirement to play guitar.  Here are a few stories about guitar that I found strange.

Pink’s guitar adding color to  detective auction.  Ok, I didn't’ know Pink played guitar. Hell yes she can sing but I don't think she’s the go to for a guitar to auction off. Secondly, it’s Ausie detective agency.  Not exactly what you’d expect from a rebellious American singer.

A country fan thought the artist was just giving it away.  When a over zealous guitar player handed his guitar out to the audience to strum on, one patron thought she was given the guitar as a gift.  Apparently this was not the case as the artist immediately turned to Twitter to try and find the absconded axe.

In the “Roommates are always a pain” category we have a man who was beaten by his roommate with a guitar.  What was the offence?  He chowed down on their food. 

Keith Richards, guitarist for the legendary Rolling Stones seems to take more of a liking to his six stringed friends than his real friends.  Reportedly  Richards kept his guitars on nice couches while making people sit wherever they could find a spot while in his home in France.

Another “Who Knew” story. Sandra Bullock, star of such hits as Speed, and Love Potion number 9 played guitar at a flood relief fundraiser.  What was the tune?  Smoke on the water of course.
