Psy apologizes for "Anti-US" song lyrics

I don't see why, from the way the story presents it:

“"In one performance, which Psy said was from eight years ago, the rapper protested the deaths of two teenage South Korean girls who were run over by a U.S. tank stationed in the country.

In a separate performance, Psy was critical of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and its occupation, in which South Korean forces participated."

Why is he apologizing? Americans have spoken out against the Iraq war. And I'd be pissed two if someone ran over 2 of my country women with a tank.

Yea, when I saw that ... I just shook my head.

Dave Lombardo not touring with Slayer in Australia, reads to me like he might well be sacked from the band.

Woah, that is sick. Sounds like someone's spending all of the band's money, and he's getting punished for finding out. That's sad

Yeah there's definitely something not quite kosher there.

Yeah, be interesting to see what the 'other' side of the story is tho. The fact that at least one of the band isn't interested in fixing it smells off to me.

Oh no!
Jeff Hanneman dead at 49

Icon For Hire just released a new album! *squees* Looks like this one's self titled.

Time to compile my "to buy" list and add this to it.

I feared/hoped this was a hoax at first, but apparently Wayne Static from Static-X is dead.

Love her voice, but am I the only one who found the song kinda boring?

Yeah, I like their more upbeat stuff more. Then again, I tend to like faster paced songs more often than not.
