Flaming Lips Frontman Defiles Long John Silver’s Coleslaw

Wayne Coyne, frontman for The Flaming Lips, was a cook before making it big… at Long John Silver’s… for a long time… and he was a jerk just because he was bored.

“I never spit (in the food). But I would do experiments with the coleslaw. I made 50 pounds at a time, and I worked there for almost 12 years, so I made a lot of that.
And I would get bored. So I’d dump ashtrays literally right into the coleslaw and run it through the cutter, just to see if people would notice. They’d say, ‘Oh, something was in my coleslaw!’ and I’d be like, ‘I don’t know about that.’

I’m all for putting stuff in people’s food when they’re bad customers, but just because you’re bored? And working at Long John Silver’s for 12 years? Move on to like a Reb Lobster or something.

    I ate at Long John Silver’s like, once. Now their new add campaign flies the Union Jack. I’ll never eat there again. What the Confederate Flag is to black people, that’s what the Union Jack is to Irish blokes haha!

    That and, their food sucked.
