The wacky hijinks of Brandon Flowers

And while Flowers isn't exactly a fan of the Killers' music — he prefers the rather unlikely combo of 50 Cent and country crooner Brad Paisley — or Flowers' onstage method of dress ("I'd never wear eyeliner or sparkly stuff like that," he laughed. "I'm more of a J. Crew type of guy"), he is thankful for one thing: After 20 years of causing him nothing but grief, his name is finally cool.

"I used to get picked on all the time when I was a kid because of my name," Flowers laughed. "But now it's like revenge to all those people who used to make fun of it. Because 'Brandon Flowers' is a cool name. Well, maybe not the 'Flowers' part, but definitely 'Brandon,' because it stands for dominance and masculinity and strength. And I'm definitely all of those things."

Mmm.

Of course no one on Earth is manlier than the lead singer of The Killers.

He's got soul, but he's not soldier.

His name's not dick but he is a dickhead.

"I mean, girls throw themselves at me all the time anyway because they see my striking features, but now there's a whole new crowd of girls who want to talk to me."

Since when does "Brandon" stand for "dominance and masculinity and strength". All it reminds me of is that awful 90210 program a zillion years ago. Flowers needs to go and plant himself in a pot, preferably covered in soil to stop him opening his mouth ever again.
