I’ve heard more about actual Kings of Leon (see: [List of Leonese monarchs - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Leonese_monarchs)) than some apparently popular music act, and I don’t know anything about the monarchs who ruled Leon.

I suppose it doesn’t help that I don’t listen to the radio or watch TV much, but I’d say there are quite a lot of people like me that don’t bother with such trifling old forms of entertainment.

Never heard of them, don’t recognize the song, didn’t like the song.

> Alright, my apologies to that comment. I’m young, but I do remember hearing about people making a fuss over The Beatles saying they were bigger than Jesus now that you mention it.

Apology accepted. 🙂

As for remembering the comment at the time - gosh, I’m getting old. ☹
