See Father John Misty’s Hilarious Response to His Grammy Win

Father John Misty won his first Grammy at the 60th awards on Sunday, with his Pure Comedy (Deluxe Edition) winning Best Recording Package in a tie with Claudio Roncoli & Cactus Taller’s El Orisha De La Rosa, and the meaninglessness of that was by no means lost on him. At a Sydney show earlier this week, the artist legally known as Josh Tillman accepted his award in exactly the absurd, sardonic fashion you’d expect, with the choice pull quote being, “Fuck society.”

As you’ll see below, Misty delivered the following completely facetious acceptance speech:

Uh, wow, thanks. I don’t have a whole lot of time, but, God, fuck, I just wanna say fuck society. I wanna say that this government is a criminal organization. Um, uh uh, uh, uh, FlatEarth.com, please go check that out. And, you know, when I was growing up everyone told me, you know—whether it’s like Mommy, Daddy, the church, schoolteacher, whoever—you know, everybody was always saying that, like, it’s what’s on the inside that matters, you know, and I think that this is really evidence of the fact that it’s what’s outside that matters.
