Gavin De Graw Ruins Yardfest

We've not exactly been skimpy with our adoration for campus sex symbol Peter Shields '09 aka Petros around here, and we can't lie- we thought those rumors about him playing Yardfest were the only thing worth going to the stupid event for in the first place. If you don't believe us, here is footage of Petros v. Wu-Tang Clan live (respectively):




Anyway, I think we've proven our point, and we apologize that we have continued to whet your appetite for an event that, says Shields himself, is not occurring because Gavin De Graw said it would breach his contract. (Disclaimer: We had this info last night, but it was in the Crimson today so of course it's true). GAVIN DE GRAW, famous for that one song that sort of sounds like shitty John Mayer, PREVENTED PETER SHIELDS FROM OPENING YARDFEST. WTF.

As you can imagine, the Gossip Geek offices are in flames and riots about this (pardon my language) huge mediocre douchebag raining on our sexy Greek parade. We believe that there is absolutely no way Harvard students would want someone as completely insipid and lacking of personality as De Graw to tell us, the students, what we can and can't listen to and, worst of all, humiliate Shields by requesting that he lip-synch to his own music.

We stand in full solidarity with Petros and can sing any of his songs, from "Body Glow" to "Utopia", verbatim. And we know we're not the only ones. So to fix this injustice, I now introduce to you Gossip Geek's Official Let Peter Shields Perform at Harvard Fund. As an organization, we would like to sponsor a set by the musical mastermind somewhere on campus. We have no real organizational capacity or planning mechanisms, but if you or any of your friends know how to make this happen for real, please let us know. Also, if you want to donate in solidarity to our cause, please email us and we'll send an anonymous representative to pick up the donation. You may or may not also get an article in Gossip Geek written about you if you donate!

Please support our noble cause and help us get this man a stage! We the People need to show Gavin De Graw who's boss around here!
