Culture finally comes to Egyptian pyramids in form of Red Hot Chili Peppers show
After roughly 4500 years of toiling in the absence of any truly great cultural milestones—i.e., a ripping bass solo courtesy of Flea, or a recreation of whatever the fuck it is that’s going on in the “Californication” video—the so-called “Great” pyramid of Giza is finally getting ready to live up to itshype. Rolling Stone reports that we’ll soon be in for a big day for dusty old monuments everywhere, as the Red Hot Chili Peppers gear up to play a concert in the shadow of the millennia-old relic. (History is painfully mute on how the pharaoh Khufu, who commissioned the ancient structure, might have felt about the performance, but a series of hieroglyphics found in his tomb depicting a quarter of shirtless men slamming gleefully into each other while screaming suggests he probably would have approved.)
