Glee's creator Ryan Murphy: Arrogant idiot of the day

Rather than face the fact some artists don't want to be involved with TV's soft core autotuned nightmare Glee, Ryan Murphy lashes out.

"Fuck you, Kings of Leon," Murphy relayed via the magazine. "They're self-centered assholes, and they missed the big picture. They missed that a 7-year-old kid can see someone close to their age singing a Kings of Leon song, which will maybe make them want to join a glee club or pick up a musical instrument. It's like, OK, hate on arts education. You can make fun of Glee all you want, but at its heart, what we really do is turn kids on to music."

FYI Mr Murphy, Glee isn't really that good, and the "music" it produces is awful in the extreme. That 7 year old, by not hearing the wretched versions of songs you mangle, may have actually had their appreciation of music enhanced.
