More fake news
I’m calling shenanigans on the pair of musicians called Twenty-One Pilots that took their pants off before ascending the stairs to accept their Grammy award on Sunday night. Okay, whatever, they took their pants off, but I don’t buy the back story. Not one bit. They related a tale on stage that, so many years prior, they were watching the Grammys together on television, the two of them and some other male friends, and they realized at one point that they were all in their underwear. They vowed then and there that if one day they won a Grammy, they would accept the award without wearing pants.
That never happened. Two ostensibly heterosexual boys-- one of them now married, living at the time in Columbus, Ohio, who were home-schooled, practicing Christians (according to Wikipedia), were not suddenly in their underwear watching TV. I used to hang out with lots of other heterosexual boys and such a thing never happened. It never almost happened either. This was a story conceived out of thin air to justify the taking off of their pants and creating some easy buzz at an event that is defined by how much buzz its participants are able to generate. And it says a lot about media coverage of the Grammys that everybody bit on it. Not me.
