today on air with kenny jones – the gang learned that guitar hero, jeff beck has fingers that are worth a cool one million…EACH!
mr. beck realized the value of his digits after slicing off the tip of his index finger 
chopping carrots. i’m not sure what is more unbelievable about this story – jeff beck chopped his finger off slicing carrots or jeff beck actually slices carrots?
either way, he’s down a philangi – not really, doctors were able to re-attach the severed finger tip. but with the new album in the works, layin’ down those smooth riffs ain’t gonna be so easy.
so now he’s upped his insurance from 1 million (usd) per hand to one million usd per finger! jeffrey – this album better be really really good!
the on air contingent was quick to tell the crew what body part they would insure. have a listen…
