Kings of Leon

[Duff McCartney]

I like how all of a sudden everybody has been listening to them since their first rehearsal.

I know I haven't...but I've listened to them for years before they became popular this past year. I don't fault anyone or care if all of a sudden people like them..not alot of people had heard about them before this last album.

Since their second album...Aha Shake Heartbreak. I still like that second one better than all the others. It's got some really good songs.

Congratulations to 4cc for saying that divine ichor flows through his veins. That unequivocally wins the prize for being the most reckless and unrestrained thing I've ever heard. What follows is a series of remarks addressed to the readers of this letter and to 4cc himself. The tone of his methods of interpretation is so far removed from reality I find myself questioning what color the sky must be in his world. I can repeat with undiminished conviction something I said eons ago: If I said that he can succeed without trying, I'd be a liar. But I'd be being totally honest if I said that 4cc says that he is clean and bright and pure inside. That's his unvarying story, and it's a lie: an extremely duplicitous and mudslinging lie. Unfortunately, it's a lie that is accepted unquestioningly, uncritically, by 4cc's followers. As a closing statement, let me emphasize that we have no choice but to view the realms of antiheroism and Comstockism not as two opposing poles but as two continua. The time to act is now.

I could write a very angry letter right now about 4cc, but I decided instead merely to express some constructive criticism. I assume you already know that 4cc is bent on smearing and defaming me, but I have something more important to tell you. He is brazen to such an extreme degree that he no longer realizes that he's brazen. That's not something that we learn in school—though it should be. That's not something that we emote about while watching movies and TV shows—though it should be. What it is is something that tells us loudly and clearly that in any decent society, 4cc would be just another pudibund sod standing on a streetcorner braying his nonsensical diatribes from atop a soapbox. Nevertheless, he has managed to gain some credibility among ungrateful incubi because they relate to her message that he's merely trying to make this world a better place in which to live. Okay, this letter has become much too long so I'll just jump right to the punchline: 4cc offers his confreres a vehicle of sorts for his revenge fantasies.

They're terrible -- absolute garbage -- I agree. However, I did find it funny when a woman called into the radio station and said her 4 year old was running around singing the lyrics to Sex on Fire.

[Whisky Dog]

Kings of emo gy faux rock.

[Spurminator]

One of the few bands in history to be overrated by both the indie music snob set and the mainstream.
