Rawk and mutha-frackin' Rawwwwllll! Mutha-frakers!!!! Meet the new god, he's 16, he's from Raleigh, North Carolina and he's quit its Christian Academy in order to play the Debil's music!

Well, he's left school to pretend to play someone else's versions of the Debil's music. Yes, Ma and Pa Peebles have let their little boy complain, whinge and generally brat his way into a private tutor and the chance to hone his skills on Guitar Hero full time.

"We couldn't take the complaining anymore. He always told me that he thought school was a waste of time," his mother, Mrs Hunter Peebles (that's 'Hunter' with an 'H') told local paper, The News & Observer.

See kids, whine enough and set your ambitions as high as pressing buttons on a virtual guitar and you too can, be, "at the Fox and Hound in Raleigh's North Hills shopping district (on) the restaurant's regular Sunday Guitar Hero night". You too could be lauded by 'casual player' Andrew Gambling who points out that, "It's pretty sick... He's talented."

Duuuuuuuuuuude!

GTA IV or Counter Strike making kids go wild and crazy? Bah! It'll be Cooking Mama next. We can't wait for a story about Samantha Sue from Kneekick Arkansas who has left home in order to become a professional chef... on the DS.

Hey, I bet that's what people were saying about Mozart's parents when he chucked school in order to go and play other people's songs on a plastic lute.

Erm...

Excuse me for that.
