Glee's Ryan Murphy blasts Kings of Leon, Drummer responds
Glee's Ryan Murphy didn't mince his words in a Hollywood Reporter interview regarding Kings of Leon's refusal to allow their songs on Glee.
What's Ryan's problem? Personally, he should concentrate on the plot of his show instead of relying on hits of bands like Kings of Leon to advance the plot. This is probably why the story of Glee has been such a mess since the writers have been getting their ideas from the inane song titles of pop songs. Let it go Ryan.
From TVLine:
Glee creator Ryan Murphy has two choice words for one of the bands that has kept their music off the Fox hit — and they aren’t “Forget You.”“F— you, Kings of Leon,” Murphy says, recalling how the Grammy-winning rockers denied Glee‘s request to cover “Use Somebody.”
“They’re self-centered a–holes, and they missed the big picture,” Murphy continues, speaking to The Hollywood Reporter. “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…. You can make fun of Glee all you want, but at its heart, what we really do is turn kids on to music.”
From Twitter:
Dear Ryan Murphy, let it go. See a therapist, get a manicure, buy a new bra. Zip your lip and focus on educating 7yr olds how to say fuck.
