“We organized a Third Party rally a few weeks ago,” Miranda explained to Cora as if they were on the same side. “Events of the last few days have led to a lot of interest, so we’re looking at a crowd in the thousands. Senator Julian might be there, and also Tom DeLonge.” “Who?” asked Kaveh. “The lead singer of Blink-182.” Cora laughed. “Is he going to run through the crowd wearing nothing but sneakers?” Miranda almost looked offended, like it was 1999 and the lead singer of Blink-182 was a get that she just didn’t appreciate. “Surprised you aren’t covering it,” said Miranda to Kaveh.
I love this! This is the part when I had to educate myself on what Tom Delonge has been up to for the past 15 years. Your mileage may vary on how sketchy, grandiose, or relevant it all is.
