Snuggie Guitar Hero, not to be confused with Snuggie Air Guitar Hero, is the new craze sweeping the nation. Exhibit A: Dale

We caught up with Dale just after he completed his six song set. He tossed his axe to a roadie (it actually bounced off the couch, but in Dale’s imagination his roady restrung the Les Paul with stickers, and all was right with the world). He swilled down an energy drink (named ‘Dale’ in his imagination). He wouldn’t say, but the twinkle in his eye told us one thing – “Snuggie Encore”.

Pulling a guitar pick out of his earthy Longaberger Basket, Dale produced a felt tipped pen out of a Snuggie Sleeve and proceeded to autograph it and throw it into the first row of the family den. Straight up – Dale would not be able to sign that pick in a blanket.

Dale quickly started nuking a bag of Orville Redenbacher’s and then kicked in the encore, hoping to finish in the three and a half minutes that Orville requires. I waved my complimentary booklight in the air, which was a fortunate choice as the microwave blew a breaker halfway through ‘Crazy Train’. Being the consummate Snuggie Guitar Hero, Dale shadow played the remainder of the song from memory as I sang and hummed along in falsetto…”We’re going off the rails of the Snuggie Train”.
