The selection included works celebrating 2013 Sunset Strip Music Festival (SSMF) honoree Joan Jett, Janis Joplin, LOVE, ZZ Top, Alice Cooper and Debbie Harry. Additional sculptures honored Dolly Parton, Alanis Morissette and Linkin Park. BMI co-sponsored the guitar sculpture inspired by the 1960s rock band, LOVE, by the artist, The Wizard.
