Rufus Wainwright has written a song about Brandon, titled 'Tulsa'. It will be on his new album Release The Stars (produced by Neil Tennant), out on May 15. From Time Out:

He also feels that the album is "less personal in terms of my own struggles. Certainly there's some really revealing stuff but a lot of the songs are about other people, friends of mine". 'Tulsa', about Killers frontman Brandon Flowers sounds particularly intriguing. "I don't know him that well," Wainwright admits, "but I wrote this song about him which is kind of hilarious - it says he tastes like potato chips in the morning."

:wacko: Good... I guess :unsure:

what's with the "potato chips in the morning" thing though? :wacko:

i never got into rufus stuff at all and always thought he got too much press hype

what's with the "potato chips in the morning" thing though? :wacko:

 

Yeah, I don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing (I guess it's a bad thing, I couldn't imagine potatoe chips in the morning, kind of disgusting).

guess we'll just have to wait and read the full lyrics to the song..

Yupp, maybe it turns out to be funny and a good thing, but I don't know.

well, we won't have to wait, lol

 

You taste of potato chips in the morning

Your face has the Marlon Brando club calling

And then the thought that I owe it all to Tulsa

And that fat guy with the Queen shirt that we both signed together

Wanting it for someone who’d been down forever

 

Your suit was the whitest thing since you-know-who

I feel that that saviour I’ve been ... may be you

And then the thought that I owe it all to Tulsa

And that poor girl who waited in the rain for hours to meet me

... completely

 

And I owe it all to Tulsa

... just a reminder

Of the antiques shop I want to go back to and visit when it´s open

In Tulsa

Oklahama

... this song about you
