Andrew WK denies conspiracy theories
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 5 January 2010
Claims that Andrew WK is part of an elaborate conspiracy set up by some shady music industry people, hell bent on creating a successful rock star – the horror! – have been knocking around for a long time now. Some have even suggested that the current Andrew WK isn’t the original Andrew WK. Now he has published a lengthy statement on his website denying all of it.
He wrote: “Since 2001, I have been accused of being part of a conspiracy in which I knowingly entered into a contract with creative directors called Steev Mike, who proceeded to invent a new identity for me to perform under. I’m here to say this is simply not true and a gross exaggeration of easily explainable and common-place music industry practices. … The kind of people who accuse me of being a talking head for some secret conspiracy to corrupt people’s morals are the same people who claim MTV and Cartoon Network are owned by secret rulers of the world out to poison kid’s brains … I am not evil and neither are any of my other fellow members of show business”.
Still confused? Andrew hopes to iron everything out at “an evening of totally open inquiry” in New York on 23 Feb. Details here.
