yeah .. I think Brandon being a mormon has the help of jesus .. of the devil maybe. Seriously I have been suspicious since the killers were crapped out of the twat of Las Vegas. It's not the kid's fault it's the industry's fault. They force feed the youth whatever crap they see fit. And don't give much of an option . Hanna Montana and The Killers ... shit and shy-nola. I miss the 90s for it's movies and music. I have not been happy with mainstream culture since roughly 1995. But looking back i would take the breeders or bush or primus or alice in chains or pearl jam or early foo fighters over this crap.. Not just the killers.... Every kid in a band today is living out a fantasy .. Not an artistic vision with integrity.
