A Rock and Roll History

All my lines are well rehearsed. All my sins are fully endorsed.

Fuck you, Kings of Leon. They’re self-centered assholes, and they missed the big picture. They missed that a 7-year-old kid can see someone close to their age singing a Kings of Leon song, which will maybe make them want to join a glee club or pick up a musical instrument. It’s like, OK, hate on arts education. You can make fun of Glee all you want, but at its heart, what we really do is turn kids on to music.

Glee creator Ryan Murphy’s response to Kings Of Leon’s refusal to grant rights for one of their songs to appear on Glee, from the Hollywood Reporter.  Apparently deciding that you have enough money and declining the “privilege” of having your song neutered to serve some saccharine pseudo-storyline makes you a self-centered asshole?

Also, I love that Ryan Murphy come to the defense of the 7-year-olds with “Fuck you”.

Look up hubris in the dictionary.

Also, when people use “hate on,” they immediately become Colie from The Real World in my head and I cannot take them seriously.
