Last week news broke about the US State Department naming Andrew W.K. a Cultural Ambassador to the Middle East. It made sense, it was weird and it was awesome, but it might not be true. The Huffington Post is reporting this morning that a communications staff member in the state department was unaware of the appointment. In any case, W.K. will begin a tour of the region’s elementary schools, music venues, the University of Bahrain and other spots to “…promote partying and positive power… and world peace.”
As updates become available about the situation we’ll make sure to let you all know.
