For those who are familiar with US news, you will know that anyone who isn't an ultra-conservative christian is a terrorist out to destroy America with radical ideas like affordable healthcare, gun control and sensible debate. Finally, Glenn Beck has revealed the mastermind behind these attacks. Take a look...And for those who watched it, no. Glenn Beck is not a loveable fictitious character based on Alan Partridge, but a genuine Fox News anchor. This South Park episode spoofs him best, but the only real change they've made is to use the name "Wendy" instead of "Obama".

There are campaigns a plenty against the guy and his franchise. I can't get too involved, because my brain keeps offering me Jeff Beck as a hate figure instead.

With good reason. He was bad enough when he appeared on MSNBC a few years ago, but it just got worse and worse when he moved to Fox. If you need a reason to dislike Jeff Beck, well Rolling Stones magazine reckons he's a better guitarist than Mark Knopfler!

Give me Jimmy Page anyday, or Eddie Van Halen. As to who is destroying America, what about America destroying us?

Isn't the notion of a guitar hero a bit outdated these days? A kid can just plug in his "Guitar Hero" console game and Bob's Your Uncle... I like art noise me. Different sounds

Jeff Beck is an awesome guitarist. One of the best in terms of technique and feel for the instrument. Unfortunately, his material leaves a lot to be desired, check 'Hi Ho Silver Lining', probably his best known track and outstanding legacy.

Different sounds But I am outdated, Marc. I was a heavy rock man (and still am, along with a host of other musical genres) and remember seeing Zep live at Wembley Pool. They were bloody fantastic. Also, when I first heard Van Halen I couldn't believe one guy could make a guitar perform such tricks; ground breaking stuff. Jeff Beck and Page cut their teeth together before hitting the big time. But I'd still go for page because I'm a blues man at heart, and I jam weekly with fellow blues friends.

PS to above. And let's face it, as writers we all know about the blues.
