But as awful as it must have been to live through, it's the family schism that allows Kings of Leon to get away with lyrical murder. Plenty of bands sing about sex, but Kings of Leon use their history to suggest that sex eases the burden of their shattered innocence, and they make music about it to reinforce their fraternal connection.
