So The Flaming Lips are still a thing. And they're still the darlings of pretentious jagoffs everywhere. That's quite the staying power. These guys started their band when my mom was 33 years old.
Yakkety yakkety Covid...
Frontman Wayne Coyne shared footage from Friday’s concert at Oklahoma City’s The Criterion on Instagram, with the band performing to the bubbled audience. At one point during the show, Coyne shed his own bubble to hold up a giant lettered balloon that read “Fuck COVID-19.”
The “Space Bubble Concerts” were originally scheduled for December, but the rising numbers of coronavirus cases in the Oklahoma metro area forced the Flaming Lips to postpone the shows to January 22nd and 23rd. The band also did a test-run of the inventive shows — which Coyne promised was “safer than going to the supermarket” — in October.
Thank God Covid is still here to fill the gap left by Trump leaving office. I'd really hate for people to develop a personality all their own.
