Via: NMEKillers frontman Brandon Flowers just doesn't seem to have the common sense to shut up for two minutes. Flowers shared more of his personal insights recently, this time taking aim at Green Day and their anti-American agenda. Flowers was particularly offended by the band's DVD Bullet In A Bible.
''"You have Green Day and 'American Idiot'. Where do they film their DVD? In England''¦A bunch of kids screaming 'I don't want to be an American idiot' I saw it as a very negative thing towards Americans. It really lit a fire in me."
But wait, there's more:
"I just thought it was really cheap. To go to a place like England or Germany and sing that song - those kids aren't taking it the same way that he meant it. And he [Billie Joe Armstrong] knew it."
And, of course, the requisite album plug:
"People need to see that, really, there are the nicest people in the world here! I don't know if our album makes you realise that. But I hope it's from a more positive place."
Brandon Flowers: Defender of the American people. As a Canadian, I can only hope that someday we could breed such a staunch protector.
This guys shamelessly promotes more than Fiddy and Diddy.
