�Make Air, Not War� is the personal motto of Dan Crane, the musician who decided to put his �there� guitar aside and reinvent himself as Bj�rn T�roque: the take-no-prisoners future of competitive air guitar. Jeopardizing love and livelihood to join the ruthless international circuit of the World Air Guitar Championships, Bj�rn T�roque (pronounced �b-yorn too-RAWK�) began a three-year odyssey to secure what was rightfully his (and America�s!)�the air guitar world crown. To Air is Human is the riotous tale of one man�s journey through a world of wheelchair-bound Christian air rockers, spandex-jumpsuit fittings, Finnish stunt wolves, catatonic �80s guitar heroes, air groupies, Aireoke�, Air Supply, dry-ice injuries, and ultimately, good vs. evil (in the form of Bj�rn�s rival pretender to the air guitar throne). But it is also a sincere and penetrating account of the pursuit of an elusive, intangible, and perhaps nonexistent goal: to achieve �airness��that is, when air guitar transcends the �real� art that it imitates and becomes an art form in and of itself. �Bj�rn T�roque is so good that people with real guitars now have contests to see who can do the best imitation of his air guitar imitation.��Malcolm Gladwell, author of Blink and The Tipping Point
