Glee’s Murphy regrets Kings Of Leon outburst
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 6 April 2011
Ryan Murphy of ‘Glee’ fame has told Hollywood Reporter that he regrets calling Kings of Leon “self centred assholes”, as previously reported.
The TV type explained: “I didn’t speak with as much clarity as I would have liked. Who am I to say ‘Fuck you?’ That’s not what I meant. I completely understand when artists don’t want a show or another artist to interpret their songs. I respect that. It’s their personal work and I’d feel the same way. We get turned down all the time and I’ve don’t fight it or even go back after a rejection.”
Murphy also had a response to Dave Grohl’s also previously reported angry comments about the hit show and its creator, in which the Foo Fighter hit out at Murphy for dissing artists who refuse to license their music for the TV show. Murphy: “I’ve never felt that if you don’t give ‘Glee’ your music there’s something diabolical about you. I think Kings Of Leon are cool as shit. The Foo Fighters are brilliant. We’d love to do one if their songs, if they were ever interested. But if it’s not their thing, then OK”.
I think that’s Murphy bringing to an end all previous rock star v Glee bitching. Which is no fun whatsoever.
