Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp: The Perfect Gift for the Millionaire Guitar Hero Addict Who Has Everything
()
Oh, to have unlimited resources and $8,000 to blow.
My perceptions of rock 'n' roll fantasy camps forever changed this morning when my eyes skimmed an e-mail touting the mother of all rock experiences. My skepticism led me to open the e-mail and I was genuinely shocked by the caliber of the special guests and "camp counselors," which include:
Brian Wilson (Beach Boys)
Nick Mason (Pink Floyd)
Cliff Williams (AC/DC)
Mickey Dolenz (The Monkees)
Elliot Easton (The Cars)
Jeff Foskett (Beach Boys)
David Ryan Harris (John Mayer)
Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple)
Bruce Kulick (KISS)
Simon Kirke (Bad Company)
And more to be announced.

We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.

We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
