On this week\\u2019s edition of Five Things, my guest is Matt Burns, the reigning world champion of competitive air guitar. When he\\u2019s not melting faces onstage, he\\u2019s a waiter in Staten Island, New York. He\\u2019s been in Louisville as part of the cast of "Airness," a play about air guitar at Actors Theatre of Louisville. Burns played the announcer for the various air guitar competitions that were depicted onstage, and then at the end of the show, he gave a special surprise performance that had the audience on their feet. This is a fun one.
