Radiohead are freak monkeys with mediocre tunes, says Westboro Church
http://www.digitalspy.com/music/news/a370731/radiohead-are-freak-monkeys-with-mediocre-tunes-says-westboro-church.html
Radiohead have been described as "freak monkeys" by the Westboro Baptist Church.
The controversial Christian group picketed the band's gig in Missouri, USA yesterday (March 11), with producer Nigel Godrich later joking that the protest was the "highlight of the tour".
In statement on their official site, the fundamentalist organization described the Thom Yorke-fronted group as "freak monkeys with mediocre tunes".
They added: "You try to get the people to look at the nonsense and not the Wrath of God that abides upon them. 'Look at the circus monkey over there and the fluffy setting, blah blah...'
"Meanwhile, God is undoing this nation and effecting all of your lives, with the moth that quietly eats the very fabric of your national garment. Radiohead is just such an event."

Wow, didn't even think Westboro Baptist listened to modern music. Who would have thunk it.
Oh and I Radiohead!

I'm not saying WBC is all right, but I'm not saying they're all wrong, either. And their moth-eating-the-national-garment analogy? Mwah! I hope these nincompoops show up at our Annual Conference again. We're going to be right in the neighborhood.

WBC called Radioheads "mediocre"???? Mediocre. Not, evil, hellish, disgusting, etc...mediocre.
I'm now intrigued by what they all have on their iPods. Maybe they prefer thrash? A little hard-core punk? I absolutely have got to find out.
I'm worried about my mental health.
