much has been written over the past 48 hours about the successful efforts to send Katy Perry into outer space (and yes, she has returned safely, so you can all exhale, finally) and to some degree I can understand the public’s frustration. I’ve been petitioning FOR YEARS to send other performers to into outer space (not necessarily with a return ticket, it depends) and have received no response whatsoever from any of these private space travel firms. We’re never gonna know, for instance, how humanity might’ve benefitted from Spam Axe of Teddy & The Frat Girls being blasted beyond the earth’s atmosphere for 20 minutes, but that’s just as well as EVR’s rights clearance department informs me playing Teddy & The Frat Girls’ “Club Nite” on loop for 120 Minutes is not only a terms of service violation, but it’s also “really lazy programming”.
OK, I’m paraphrasing. I was told it was “really fucking lazy programming”.
