Muse Tell Glenn Beck To Withdraw His Endorsement
Political blowhard Glenn Beck was forced to retract his endorsement of Muse on air, after the rock band complained he was misrepresnting the band's views.
Beck, an outspoken right winger known for his attacks on Barack Obama and willingness to cry on Fox TV, praised a song called "United States Of Eurasia" on Muse's new album The Resistance for warning against the dangers of big government.
"These guys are brilliant, they know the time that we live in, they are libertarians from England," he said on his nationally syndicated talk radio show, The Glenn Beck Program.
"All of the lyrics are... dead on, on what's coming our way."
But a representative of Muse emailed Beck and made him retract his endorsement of their song "United States Of Eurasia."
"They would like me to retract my endorsement," Beck told listeners. "My apologies to Muse for saying that I like them. I didn't mean to destroy all their credibility and all their coolness.
"It's an awful album and you should never go out and buy it."
Muse singer Matt Bellamy has stated publicly that he believes the 9/11 attacks were an "inside job." Glenn Beck made his comments in a broadcast on September 16th this year.

Anyway, who cares if Glenn Beck likes it? He's just another fan, another person. Muse are a great band. But, Beck was kind of an idiot lying about that because it made Muse seem petty when they really aren't. They want people to listen to their music.
2.) Secondly, he didn't really retract anything, he mocked the band for taking itself too seriously.
3.) The only "nutjob" out there is anyone who could watch two massive jetliners full of jet fuel fly into the Twin Towers on 9/11 and think that something other than those planes hitting the towers brought them down. The band believes this.
4.) The band sucks, I just checked them out on Youtube and they do in fact suck.
I'm not a Glenn Beck fan. I don't care what opinion he has about anything- or even what Muse has about 9/11. Who can blame them for not wanting to be associated with Glenn Beck.
