The Flaming Lips Street Named
December 6th, 2006
Oklahoma City has just announced a new street named after their beloved local band The Flaming Lips. According to the Washington Post, Oklahoma City voted Tuesday to name an alley after the band in a vibrant shopping and entertainment portion of the city.
The Flaming Lips weren’t the only Oklahoma City hometown band being honored. Vince Gill and Jazzmaster Charlie Christian also were also given their own streets.
Interesting quote from the Flaming Lips’ lead singer Wayne Coyne from the Washington Post article:
“I could see people sneaking in during the middle of the night doing graffiti art,” he said of the alley. “I can see all kinds of strange things going on there.”
So open season for all you graffiti loving Flaming Lips fans in the Durty South. Get to work.
