Comments on: The Killers, John Lennon Implicated in Ben Stein’s Anti-Darwin Farce http://blog.spout.com/2008/04/16/the-killers-john-lennon-implicated-in-ben-steins-anti-darwin-farce/ Daily coverage of what is truly interesting in the film world Tue, 16 Mar 2010 20:02:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Paul Newman http://blog.spout.com/2008/04/16/the-killers-john-lennon-implicated-in-ben-steins-anti-darwin-farce/#comment-99573 Paul Newman Thu, 22 May 2008 13:47:08 +0000 http://blog.spout.com/?p=2654#comment-99573 No offense to anyone and sorry about my Typos in my earlier post. but you get my point on the fact that if people would look bad on the killers for selling a song they must not of been a big fan to let something like that decide whether you listen to them or not. Regardless of what the song was being played in and its only a part of "All these things I've Done" I got Soul but im not a Soulja that piece at the end of the movie.

The fact here is ppl just want to botch about something leave them alone they need to make money and if it makes them less indie for taking money shoudl they just give it away? Its like giving away a beautiful piece of art its just stupid not to get paid for your talent. Who cares what teh movie is about they asked to use a song in a movie its not Brandon Flowers up there as teh Spokeperson so i think people should let it go why is it a big deal and how does it affect you or me in any way Killers Music Still sounds Great and Still has the same Energy and feeling it always had whether or not its in a documentary with the Clear Eyes Guy (Ben Stein) I personally being a Fan of The Killers and Most indie Rock and a fan of ben steins expelled Movie think that by them letting him use their song for his movie does not mean they are siding with ben stein or his beliefs.

What they authorized was a documentary about 'academic freedom in schools', not the film that the producers produced. They contacted the producers of the film to ask that the song be removed but it is too late. Unfortunately it was misrepresented to them when the request came through to use it. Add this band to a long line of people who were misled by the producers of this film." The administrator over at the official Killers forum has just posted this update:
