Civil Rights and Belt Activist

Pants on the Ground
Okay so if you watch American Idol, this was pretty much the highlight of the season so far -- otherwise you may have heard Brett Favre singing it, or seen this singer on The View.

Here's a link to the video if you missed it.

The singer was 62-year old "General" Larry Platt. He was a civil rights activist in Atlanta in the 1960s who was often in close proximity to Martin Luther King Jr. In Georgia, there's a Larry Platt day in honor of his dedication to the Civil Rights Movement.

Funny how an hilarious American Idol contestant has such an incredible story, granted I don't know THAT much, but it's still an interesting story no? Maybe not, lol.
