Back in ’98, I waited three hours for Public Enemy to take the stage at the Cubby Bear. For a man with a giant clock around his neck, it ain’t about time. He’s making a statement.”
Flav responded to the shout-out and said, “Hey @tedlasso, it ain’t about time,,, it’s about being timeless! One time in 2023 I had to wait a whole year and half for one of my favorite tv shows to come back.”
Now, Flav is finally getting the chance to meet the people behind the joke!
Flav showed up at the picket lines with 25 Prince Street pizzas, 100 burgers from Irv’s Burgers, and Liquid Death water. He also met up with Quinta Brunson and the Abbott Elementary writers!
