Shit Talk Kings of Leon Forced to Cancel Show After Being Covered in Shit (Or: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!1!)

Kings of Leon: Shitheads.

From CNN.com:

Pooping pigeons forced the Kings of Leon to abandon their St. Louis, Missouri, concert after just three songs Friday night, the rock band's management said Saturday.

An infestation of the birds in the rafters of the Verizon Amphitheatre bombarded the musicians as soon as they took the stage, according to Andy Mendelsohn of Vector Management.

"Jared (Followill) was hit several times during the first two songs," Mendelsohn said of the band's bassist.
"It's not only disgusting — it's a toxic health hazard. They really tried to hang in there," Mendelsohn added.

Oh man. So many jokes running through my head. I don't even know where to begin. Never has the post tag "Shit Talk" been so appropriate.

It gets better, according to this:

"The popular and Grammy award-winning band Kings of Leon were forced to end a concert in St. Louis last night after playing just three songs because a pigeon pooped into bassist Jared Followill's mouth, the New York Post reports."

Ha ha ha ha ... we don't like this band, so it's funny a bird shit on them and in one of their mouths. Ha ha ha.

Look, I'm no Kings of Leon fan, but if I were in a band, I wouldn't want to play a show while constantly getting shit on (and in) by birds, either. These dudes may make crappy music, and they may have expensive haircuts, but they're humans, too.

C'mon, Megan, The Stranger is lame and mean, but you're better than that. You've proven it over the years...

Pigeons are gross, I hate those filthy bastards. It is a funny story, though.

I wonder if Metallica or Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath or Pantera (RIP Dimebag) or any band with a pair of 'nads would have f'ed their fans aftervthree songs???

Maybe they could have taken a break and had maintenance, or security at least try to clear the birds away before disappointing everyone???????????
