Adds Ramos, “The other side of it is that we’re so grateful to Phoebe for donating the guitar but also for being someone who’s a visible and out part of the community in rock music, and we love all she’s doing and love working with her.” Ramos says he’d been in contact with Bridgers’ publicist on other matters the day before the “SNL” appearance in February. “I watched the show on Saturday and saw Twitter explode about this guitar, and was like, ‘I wonder what happened with that guitar? I bet people would pay some money for this — it’s worth a shot.'” After he reached out the next morning, Bridgers quickly assented, and the guitar — or its valuable remnant — was shipped from New York back to GLAAD in L.A.
Bridgers’ smashing of the guitar at the climax of “I Know the End” — and not in anger, as the smile on her face made clear — became a fulcrum of debate for days after the “SNL” appearance, with even usual buddies like David Crosby and Jason Isbell coming down on opposite sides of the divide. “Pathetic… Guitars are for playing .. making music ….. not stupidly bashing them on a fake monitor for childish stage drama,” tweeted Crosby.
