Fox TV show, 'Glee', wanted "Use Somebody" from Kings Of Leon for one of the episodes. Kings Of Leon said "No." That should have been the end of it, right? Ha. Never.
In the first volley, lead singer Caleb Followill admitted that "Apparently, everybody loves it." when referring to Glee. So why wouldn't a popular band and a popular TV show not want to work together? According the Eonline.com story, Kings of Leon was at the end of a promotional tour and were tired of the song. They even denied the song to be played on a movie trailer and Ugly Betty.
In a no-holds-barred response, Glee creator Ryan Murphy, launched into an expletive filled tirade adding in that the band missed a chance to inspire children to get into music.
Advantage goes to Ryan Murphy for using a "Think of the children!" jab.
In what can be see as a 'save face' type of retort on THR, Caleb Followill explains that he had no intention of hurting the inspiration of children and that the band was merely done promoting the song. Followill claims he doesn't know where all the anger is coming from. I think his brother and KOL drummer knows.
Nathan Followill hopped on Twitter and sniped back at Ryan Murphy with a tweet that included telling him to get a manicure, buy a new bra and zip his lip. 2 hours later Followill apologized.
Is this feud over? Not sure. Seems like there is still a lot of bad blood. Will you be heartbroken if you never see Kings of Leon or hear their songs performed on Glee?
