99-Year-Old Guitar Legend Joe Negri Finally Gets a TikTok Account, Prompting Teens to Ask If He's the 'Original Joe From Fortnite'
In a twist that has both Gen Z and jazz purists scratching their heads, 99-year-old guitarist Joe Negri—best known for his work on 'Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood' and as a living legend of Pittsburgh jazz—has suddenly become the internet's latest obsession after his granddaughter posted a video of him shredding a solo. The irony? Half the comments are asking if he’s the "OG Joe" from the battle royale game 'Fortnite,' while the other half are genuinely confused about why a 99-year-old man with a Gibson is trending. The real viral moment? When Negri responded to a comment asking about his favorite chord progression and simply said, "The one that pays the bills, kid." Meme historians are already calling this the most wholesome generational divide since the "Damn Daniel" era.
