Kings of Leon on The Tonight Show Tonight
Someone told me Kings of Leon have UPC roots. Is this true?
They are scheduled to be on The Tonight Show tonight according to the NBC website. I know I read something about this group here a while back. Seems sad that they have strayed so far from their roots.

I have an interest in Jay Leno's Garage site on the nbc.com site and I noticed who was going to be on tonight. I did see Fred Thompson's announcement that he is running for president on that website. Is that evil?
Check out Jay's clips of Bentley '31 W.O, 1915 Franklin, 1951 Hudson Hornet and 1953 Hudson Hornet, 1958 Saab 93B, 1931 Duesenburg Murphy Beverly, 1927 Harley-Davidson JD, Jaguar 120, 1927 Model X Duesenberg - and many more. If you have any interest in the vintage, check it out.

Their dad was a Tennessee UPC preacher at one time. Long story, but the parents divorced. The mom Betty is remarried and living in Nashville; attends Christ Church. The dad is backslid, as far as I know. The boys are very bitter, understandably.

I'm really confused. I thought the line of the Kings of Leon went out of existence in 1516 when Charles I formally united the Spainish Kingdoms becoming King Charles I of Spain and Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire.

FN,
You need to go read some of their song titles and you will KNOW they have UPC roots... their name is thought to be both historical and blasphemous as a reversal of the king of Noel. Some of their Album and song titles are definitely intended to Blaspheme Because of the Times in particular and Pentecost in general. They have an album titled Because of the Times and a song on their Manhood album titled "Holy Roller Novocaine."
Certainly young men who have been wounded and their recovery is quite suspect.
Here is their web site with Bio http://www.kingsofleon.com/biography
If I am not mistaken, the Followills spent some time in the Oklahoma district when I was still there. Their names certainly ring a bell for me.

They evangelised for a while in Oklahoma, and then assited Earl Jones in Sperry.
They were going to follow him as pastor there, but there was hair in the butter over something and they left there.
I don't know or care to know the details.
Brother Jones was a fine man, that much I know.
