September Perfectly fitted denim jacket. June 20, : Perhaps a little gun-shy after the Bravery incident, Flowers sighed his way through an interview at New York's Irving Plaza — though he still behaved better than guitarist Dave Keuning, who treated the whole thing like a root canal — giving half-hearted shouts to U2 again and Depeche Mode and touting the magical healing powers of laughter : "I hope our video makes people laugh.
That's a good thing for people. It's kind of like a soccer coach talking to the kids. April 27, : In the midst of recording the Killers' Sam's Town, Flowers took a brief minute to describe his newfound adulation for Bruce Springsteen "He's a gift," Flowers enthused , his mighty studio beard "It's only added to my Samson complex!
