I’m so hip that I’d never heard of the band Eagles of Death Metal before their concert was attacked in Paris. I’m very sorry for what happened to them and their fans.
Having watched their interview with Vice, they seem like really nice guys. I hope they get their wish and play the hall the night that the Bataclan reopens. It would be nice to be there with them, though I don’t see that in my budgetary future.
Naturally, the right wingers immediately started shrieking about Satan and heavy metal, which of course does not apply to the band in the first place.
Funny how dense the Republicans are about contemporary music. They invariably choose songs and use them as into or background theme music, but nine times out of ten they have misinterpreted the actual lyrics. And how often do they use music without permission from the bands?
Clueless, as always.
I’d never heard of the band either. Did note among several of the victims that they were serious musicians, and from that concluded that Eagles of Death Metal must have a more musically sophisticated audience.
