Tynan's Anger

This pretty much sums up my feeling about the hipster "I was there" phenomenon: if you're with it enough, shit will eventually happen. In this case, that involves being at an early Yardbirds show with a then-unknown Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck, coming away with Beck's smashed guitar that would now be worth thousands, only to throw it away as the piece of junk it otherwise would be.
