Just a few words about KOL and Dallas. There is nothing romantic about the life of a troubled rock star. My heart broke seeing Caleb like that last night. These boys are human and we shouldn’t put them up on a pedestal. No one can live up to the standards the media, and the fans put on them, but having said that his actions affected 1000′s of people. There are no excuses not to get help now, we all know. Like Jared said, we aren’t stupid. As a fan he has my full support if he gets help. If he doesn’t then I’m out cause I don’t want to watch him destroy himself. I hope he takes the time to read about how much we care and that he’s worthy of all that he’s been given in life and that his talent is unprecedented. Nothing anyone says will take away the millions of records sold, the awards, gold and platinum albums, and the respect fellow musicians have for them as a band. Actions speak louder than words.
Much love, healing and hope to Caleb and Lily and the rest of the Followills.

I was going to write a long drawn out rant about “selling out” after reading an article (it may have been a blog, can’t remember) on KOL. I’m gonna save that for another day but just one question; how come when a band starts to get big the media tries to tear them down? I don’t get it, and when did “branding” or tie-ins with products become so taboo? This has been going on for years! Pretty sure The Stones, U2 and most definitely Elvis is a brand. Sick of the media criticizing the business end of a band and not focusing on the music just to get readers.
Review of Kings of Leon: Back Down South via Live4ever
July 17, 2011
I thought this was a very good review on ‘Southbound’ (that’s its name as far as I’m concerned) so I’m reblogging it from Live4ever.uk.com
(despite the few unfortunate and unnecessary jabs on their career path)
This is my favorite KOL song. I love this song. I wish this song was my boyfriend. It makes me want to chew on a wheat stalk (that’s not a metaphor for anything).
and btw, I officially declare Sunday #kolsunday, for religious purposes.
Review: Kings Of Leon – ‘Back Down South’
By Live4ever
Veering away from the middle of the road for four glorious minutes, Kings Of Leon‘s latest single ‘Back Down South‘ offers a tantalising glimpse of what might have been had, sometime around the end of 2007, the Followill clan set their sights on maturing their sound, rather than their bank balances.
The journey back to the country, complimented by violins, twangy guitar licks and a handclap conclusion, instantly brings to mind that modern classic of a second album ‘Aha Shake Heartbrake‘; it should be impossible for anyone familiar with that record not to spend some time with the track and have a rodeo and glitterball being recalled with a smile. For one all too fleeting moment, the Radio 1 playlist obsession which has dragged Kings Of Leon into Nickleback and Bon Jovi territory these past few years is almost forgotten.
If ‘Only By The Night‘ saw the band setting up camp in a disposable, mainstream rock home, ‘Come Around Sundown‘ had them installing a new double garage and conservatory. Yet, in the midst of all that, ‘Back Down South’ claws its way out and finds Caleb Followill offering us a different reality; a reality in which Kings Of Leon allowed their sound to grow, and allowed their ambitions to grow, without compromising any of their early promise.
Where breakthrough commercial singles ‘Sex On Fire‘ and ‘Use Somebody‘ came about through a Rock Anthem computer programme, ‘Back Down South’ instead has its own power, its own grandeur, and its own sing-a-long quality without dipping its feet in tired rock cliches, and is uniquely Kings Of Leon.
Like the best of Caleb Followill’s early work, the lyrics are an insight into a mindset, into his world, telling the tale of a lost night between two lovers, evoking a story of both longing and separation which could apply as easily to a much-missed childhood as it could to a much-missed girlfriend.
Ultimately, ‘Back Down South’ isn’t just a nostalgic ode to home and to early influences, but to a time when Kings Of Leon made great records, made interesting records, and stood out from the crowd through their unkept hair and budget spectacles.
Today, they look out to the crowd awaiting the latest radio hit, but this single proves, now all too occasionally, Kings Of Leon are still able to find their clouded inner beauty.
