This year is the 40th anniversary of "Back to the Future" and the guitar that Michael J. Fox plays on at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance is a cherry red Gibson ES-345, and it's been missing since 1985.
Well, Gibson wants to find it. They even made a "Have You Seen This Guitar" poster with all the details . . . and the stars of the movie, including Michael J. Fox, made a video pleading for its return.
The guitar was rented from Norman's Rare Guitars in Los Angeles, and returned after they were done with it. And nobody knows where it went after that.
FYI, the guitar was likely a 1960 or '61 model, making it historically inaccurate, since the part of the movie it's featured in takes place in 1955.

Millennials, Gen X'ers, and Boomers online are listing the nostalgic SOUNDS from their childhoods . . . that the younger generations won't hear. Like . . .
The screeching dial-up internet sound. I can still hear it in my soul.
A floppy disk being read.
The clink of those metal seatbelt buckles.
A cassette rewinding faster and faster and faster, until that final thump.
That squeaky sound of the AIM chat door opening when a friend logged on.
A host asking, "Smoking or Non-Smoking?"
The phone recording, "If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again. If you need help, hang up and then dial your operator."
The cha-chunk of a manual credit card machine thingy.
The squeak of the crank windows on cars.
Clapping out the chalkboard erasers.
That little static discharge fizzle when you turned off an old tube TV.
Casey Kasem on the radio.
The sound of a quarter dropping into the coin return of a pay phone or vending machine.
Dot matrix printers.
The sound Kitt made on "Knight Rider".
A REAL old-schooler said, "The bell being physically shaken at school to signify the beginning and ending of lesson periods." Someone else joked, "Wow. We found Laura Ingalls' social media account!"
The intercom at K-Mart telling you your parents are looking for you or there's a blue light special
The sound of someone slamming the phone when hanging up on them.
The Windows 95 start-up sounds have been BURNED INTO MY SOUL.
watching tv late at night...the star spangled banner finishing up and then the sound of static as the tv station goes off the air until the morning

The world's most famous mountain is Mt. Everest, so of course people want to climb it. Of course it's very tall, there's weather, and people die.
Records date back to 1922 and at least 322 people have died, that's an average of about 4.4 deaths per year.
What's causing them? acute mountain sickness, falls, avalanches, exhaustion, crevasses, exposure, and hypothermia.
According to the climbing community, to date, an estimated 300 people have died climbing Mount Everest, with approximately 200 bodies still on the mountain. Some of the dearly departed are visible on the mountain, while others are forever lost.
It’s not uncommon to walk over frozen bodies while summiting Mount Everest.
I'm guessing there's a good chance it's haunted.
But -
The founder of a company called Code Blue CPR climbed Mount Everest in April to install a defibrillator at Everest Base Camp. He says it's the world's highest defibrillator at just over 16,500 feet.
Then three weeks after he got home, he found it had already been put to use. A 30-year-old French woman had a heart attack, and it saved her life. He said hearing about it was the "proudest moment" he's ever had.

A 21-year-old guy on Long Island got arrested after a string of TikTok videos where he'd go around to different stores . . . and dump big buckets of food on his head.
His name is Kyle Vazquez, but he goes by the TikTok handle "Tommy Tuff Knuckles."
He didn't steal the food, he brought it with him. For example, he celebrated hitting 25,000 followers by walking into a restaurant shirtless and dumping a bucket of black beans on his head. The place had to close early to clean up.
He also dumped eggs on himself outside an Italian ice place . . . milk on himself outside a Walgreens . . . and did the Ice Bucket Challenge inside a grocery store.
Each time, he'd run off and leave the mess for someone else to deal with. But that's not really what got him arrested.
Cops found his social media page and saw another series of videos where he'd go to people's homes . . . ask to use the bathroom . . . and leave a big mess behind. It looks like those videos HAVE been removed.
He's facing six counts of recording people without their consent . . . two counts of criminal tampering . . . and up to FOUR YEARS in jail.
