If you would have appeared from the future back in 2005 and told me that Wayne Coyne and The Flaming Lips would be closing the 2015 MTV VMAs with one of the world's most famous pop stars, I would have called you a Pink Robot and asked how the hell you built a time machine. Then I would have said something like "That's awesome! The Flaming Lips are one of my favorite bands! It's good to see them finally getting the fame and recognition they deserve." It never would have occurred to me that you were actually warning me not to watch.
In case you missed it, Miley Cyrus and The Flaming Lips closed last night's VMAs with an absurd, over-the-top performance. If you like dancing drag queens, color wheel vomit and watching a 54-year-old man shove a smoke cannon underneath a 22-year-old girl's crotch, you'll really enjoy it.
