Recently, I was at a wishing well. You know, hanging out at a wishing well, just like people do on a Saturday or Sunday. Since it was a, you know, wishing well, I threw a quarter in and made a wish. The same wish I always make: that Big Freedia would go on tour with The Postal Service.
LOOKS LIKE MY WISH CAME TRUE.
As absolutely insane and amazing as it sounds, bounce MC Big Freedia is going on tour with the recently-reunited Postal Service this July. This means that thousands of misty-eyed, sweater-wearing (yes, even in the summer) folk will face a phalanx of shaking butts and the mighty cry of “ASS EVERYWHERE ASS EVERYWHERE ASS EVERYWHERE” this summer. I doubt anything better is happening all year.
Here’s how Freedia herself puts it: “I’m so excited to open shows with The Postal Service. I love being put with artists that people wouldn’t expect — and they are raw as hell.” When I die, put that on my tombstone. “Eric Nagurney 1987-2052 ‘[The Postal Service] are raw as hell’ - Big Freedia”
