Meet Linc. He’s reportedly been playing guitar since February. (That’s about HALF A YEAR, remember?) And already, he’s been able to compile a YouTube channel of about 40 songs, competed against much older kids in a junior high talent competition, and formed his own band, Color Killer. Essentially, he’s accomplished more in the second grade than I have done in a lifetime. FML. Behold:
EDIT: After publishing this article, Linc’s Dad reached out to me….he’s been playing since February of 2016. So he’s got 1.5 years under his belt. Still impressive as hell, IMHO.)
No surprise that Billie Joe Armstrong pulled him on stage in Massachusetts to sing “Longview” recently. As witnessed in Chicago at Wrigley Field, Green Day has been pulling kids of all ages up on stage to play/sing live with the band. Watch Linc take on ALL the instruments for “American Idiot.”
Something tells me we will be hearing more from this kid in the future. — [eric]
