USA Today Takes a Closer Look at Larry Platt

So, I know y’all loved the Pants on the Ground song as performed by General Larry Platt on American Idol last night but you should take a closer look at this guy.  He’s actually pretty cool.  I saw someone on Twitter call him a crackhead but that couldn’t be farther from the truth.  Larry Platt was a big part of the Civil Rights Movement, worked with Martin Luther King, and is active in fighting for people’s rights.  He’s pretty big in Atlanta actually and even has his own day!

Last night USA actually put up one of the first closer look articles on Larry Platt.

Check out the article here.

As USA Today says,

When he tells you to get your pants off the ground, you’d best listen.
