Easily the lead singer of Kings of Leon. That whine in his voice makes me want to chug bleach.

Who needs musical talent? Or … y’know… basic knowledge of music and musical instruments?

Freespirit Graham.

My father used to book acts for a local club, and this guy played there once. He was awful. There’s no nice way to say it, he just really wasn’t very good. He played and sang songs that nobody recognised, and did it badly. To make things worse, he was paid, but went around with his hat at the end of the set asking people for money. Needless to say, he didn’t get a good reception.

About a year or so later, my father booked another singer, and it was the same guy going under a different name. The music night was popular, so there was a decent sized crowd already there when he walked in, and quite a few of them remembered him. My father asked him what he was doing there, and he said that he thought it was worth a try.

He was told to leave without playing, as the people who remembered him were already annoyed, and weren’t the type of people to suffer a fool kindly.

Someone I know listens exclusively to the Beatles on the car radio. From all the Beatles hype, it should feel like a party, but instead it feels like you’re listening to jingle commercials during the whole ride.

Oh my God THANK YOU! You just described exactly how I feel about them and I’ve never been able to really figure out why they bothered me.

Probably doesn’t help that they’re so popular that their music was licensed and became synonymous with commercials.

Same thing with the doors and all things Vietnam.
