The Guitar has been through a voodoo ceremony in which a soul was placed in the guitar by a voodoo priest. The guitar and amplifier are functional. This piece is about the current obsession with celebrity. It raises the question of talent being something one possesses naturally or if it is something that can be manufactured. It also plays into the desire that so many have of being a rock star, the desire to be famous and the lengths some will go to to achieve it.
