What Happened to Kings of Leon?

when i was in college, i was high. the sentence usually ends there but one specific time when i was high, i wandered into a gym on campus with some friends. we saw 4 guys in skinny jeans playing basketball and we said hello. they asked if we were going to the show later tonight and we were like "uhhh no probably not, we just wanted to play some basketball" and they were like "oh cool, yeah let's play"

so i'm not like, an athlete in any sense of the word. neither were my friends. but these guys were clowns on the court—and i don't mean harlem globetrotters. i'm talking pt barnum. these guys could not ball. they all had boots on and one of em was wearing a tight leather jacket. so i think we won purely because we were wearing leisurewear

my friend makes this joke about how our liberal arts college is undefeated in pickup basketball and none of them laughed. we played to 21 points, said goodbye, and laughed at dinner about those weird guys

those weird guys were Kings of Leon and they were playing a show in on campus that night for some reason. i heard their set in the far distance, muffled through the window of my dorm room as i was playing Animal Crossing

that was 2014 and it's been downhill ever since for the band

i am what happened to Kings of Leon
