Hey Joe



On May 1, 2006, 1,572 guitarists gathered to play the classic song Hey Joe simultaneously in the town square of Wrocław, Poland, to break a Guinness record.

On May 1, 2007, 1,881 guitarists returned to Wrocław to play Hey Joe to break their own record.

On May 1, 2008, 1,951 guitarists again played Hey Joe in Wrocław, setting a new Guinness record.

I wait with anticipation for May 1, 2009.

PS probably the most atmospheric lines of any modern song are these from Hey Joe:

I'm going down to shoot my old lady
You know, I've caught her messin' around with another man
Huh, and that ain't too cool.
