Platinum Weird
Someone asked me about the band Platinum Weird recently. Apparently, they’re getting a lot of publicity and Mick Jagger even called them “the most famous band no one's ever heard of.” Well, apparently, it’s all a marketing stunt. The band doesn’t really exist. But they’re making a documentary about them, a la Spinal Tap. Only they’re not letting the viewers in on the joke. I don’t get it. If you want to read more about the scam, read this article. Then please try to explain it to me, because I'm very confused. Not that it takes much.
