| Dave Grohl puts the creator of 'Glee' in his place
I find it a tad arrogant and douchey when you start calling musicians names because they refuse to let you use their songs for your show. Quote:
“It’s every band’s right, you shouldn’t have to do f—ing Glee,” Grohl told THR... “And then the guy who created Glee is so offended that we’re not, like, begging to be on his f—ing show… f— that guy for thinking anybody and everybody should want to do Glee.” [...]
Recounting anti-Glee comments made by Slash earlier this year and subsequent retorts by Murphy,Grohl explained to drummer Taylor Hawkins: “The Glee guy, what a f—ing jerk. Slash was the first one. He wanted to do Guns ‘n’ Roses and Slash is like, ‘I hate f—ing musicals. It’s worse than Grease.’ Then [Murphy's] like, ‘Well, of course he’d say that, he’s a washed up ol’ rock star, that’s what they f—ing do.’ And then Kings of Leon say, ‘No, we don’t want to be on your show.’ And then he’s like, ‘Snotty little *******s…’ And it’s just like, Dude, maybe not everyone loves Glee. Me included.

| Glee is actually a guilty pleasure of mine*, but I agree with Grohl. Reminds me of Michael Moore's freakout on The Who because they wouldn't let him use "Won't Get Fooled Again" for Farenheit 9/11.
*It's by far the best show I watch because of the wife. | |

*It's by far the best show I watch because of the wife. | I like it because I like a cappella music in general. I make fun of the plot all the time. (most of) the singers, however, are fantastic. That's what I appreciate.
Yes, I know there's hardly any a cappella music on the show, but the choir aspect is still appealing to me.

| It is always funny when someone gets upset at an artist for not giving them permission to use their work.
Almost as funny as critic ragging on and on about how awful and unoriginal something is...While he is sitting at a desk meeting a deadline in NYC somewhere. Music business is awful.
God Bless Dave for services rendered over the past two decades.. | |

| Same thing happened with Kings of Leon. Ryan Murphy went after them after they said no to the use of "Use Somebody". News flash to Ryan Murphy: The music industry doesn't revolve around your silly TV show. | |
