Meanwhile De La Hoya, the "Golden Boy" the superstar...
...dancing on treadmills was challenged to a game of “Double Dare.” The event, hosted by the Harvard Lampoon—a semi-secret Sorrento Square social organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine—was less a musical clash than a nostalgia trip. The four members of OK Go competed against the 17-member “Lampoon Band” in a mock-up of the “Double Dare” franchise that aired on the Fox and Nickelodeon networks from 1987 to 1993. Each team...
