On Saturday, November 10th, recently single Wayne Coyne flew to Los Angeles to catch some previews of the new musical "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots." The show is based upon the decade-old Lips' album of the same name, or as most people call it, the one that has the "Do You Realize Song" on it.
Before he left town, though, Wayne Coyne did something that only Wayne Coyne could do. He "inadvertently" tried to sneak a grenade through a TSA checkpoint. Here's a tweet he sent about the fiasco:
When I first saw that tweet, I took it with a grain of salt. I know Wayne Coyne is a goofy weirdo who enjoys publicity about as much as he does sex, drugs and rock n' roll, but he couldn't be that stupid, right? Since our "legitimate" media didn't cover the story — and the fact that I was sick and didn't feel like investigating the thing — I just chalked it up to Wayne making something out of nothing and forgot about it.
Oops! Apparently I was wrong. Wayne Coyne really is that stupid and really did bring a grenade — or something that closely resembled one — to Will Rogers, which led to the TSA shutting down the concourse area of the airport. This resulted in a lot people missing flights, and in the case of this Ogle Mole, having to shell out $1,000 for new plane tickets.
