With mask mandates and people being urged to practice safety in public, you knew some people would be creative with it. This guy claims it has nothing to do with the pandemic!
Coronavirus is ravaging cities around the world. Many have mandated people wear masks in public, to control the spread. They never really mentioned the exact type of mask you should be wearing, so that leaves it open to interpretation. Michael Shedworth has decided he will wear a techno music playing, lights flashing, flame-throwing shed on his head in public. He also says it's not about the pandemic, it's "a way of life".
"Mr. Shedsworth" says this is just how he was born. “This is my life,” he told Big Jubba’s “Yak Shak” music podcast. It's the only interview that he's ever done and he makes some wild claims about his lifestyle as a "shed-head". Mr. Shedworth claims in the podcast, that the shed is not a mask but his real head. He said his parents were sheds, and the flame-shooting chimney developed from a lump when he was 13. As far as the house music, he claims that just "emanates" from his soul.
He's become quite the celebrity in the town of Bristol where he lives, but made it clear to Bristol Live, “I’m not just some kind of attention seeker trying to live out some weird alternate reality." Yeah... OK bro!
“People just can’t look past the shed sometimes,” he says.
Cool mask though!
