Hockey in Unexpected Places

It’s Labor Day morning, and my husband is golfing. This results in an extremely rare occurrence for me – TV time. And even rarer, I found actual, factual music videos on TV. Shock of all shocks.

While watching Fuse (a channel I’m always fond of because it’s across from Madison Square Garden), I saw the video for Mike Posner’s Cooler Than Me. Wasn’t I shocked when I saw the Duke University graduate sing on my television in the following jacket:

Mike Posner, a Red Wings fan?

A Detroit Red Wings logo on the rapper/singer’s leather jacket. After some quick Wikipedia-ing, I realized this wasn’t a random placement, but a shout-out to his hometown of Detroit, Michigan. I guess when your only consistently high-performing sports team is your town’s NHL team, you rep it all over in your debut music video.

I wasn’t a giant fan of the guy before, but Mike Posner just became that much cooler…than me. (Ooh! Punny!) But no, really, he became cooler than me because I followed his video up with a DVRed Toddler and Tiaras marathon.
