Ryan Murphy to Kings of Leon: Love Ya!
All is now good between Ryan Murphy and Kings of Leon. At least the Glee creator hopes that's the case.
A few days after Elton John referred to this band as "assholes" for its refusal to allow Glee to include its hit "Use Somebody" on an episode, Murphy released a statement hoping to end the feud.
"I support artists and what they choose to do... I think Kings of Leon are cool as shit," he wrote." The Foo Fighters are brilliant. We'd love to do one [of] their songs, if they were ever interested. But if it's not their thing, then OK. I personally wish them luck, will still listen to their music."
Did he learn a lesson from this whole debacle? Yes.
"Don't say f**k you to someone in the press," Murphy said.

If it wasn't for Ryan Murphy drudging up all this crap there would be nothing for him to apoligize for. I bet any money that his PR people and the network told him to release the statement as it was bringing the show bad press.

@Gaby EE: Thank you. I couldn't agree with you more anymore about the feud. It's just stupid that adult men are behaving this way.
