Kings Of Leon online.
I clipped my toenails this morning and those four minutes were more fulfilling and dynamic than “Mustang.” Imagine being in Kings Of Leon. A scary thought by itself. Now imagine being in Kings Of Leon, looking at a car, any car, and thinking, “Gosh, how can I make this vehicle sound so bland that licking other people’s taxes would feel more dangerous.” My Subaru has more sex appeal than “Mustang.” Were these drums recorded in a toilet? Is Caleb Followill singing to a toilet? Is a toilet the inspiration that Followill needs to get up in the morning and write a rock (emphasis on rock) ‘n’ roll song that will capture the hearts and bodies of teens and creepy genxers who wish to be teens? We all need muses. The new album title is good.
