"The Scottish Gentry, or How we learned to love Music Again!"
Coming up in the next couple hours, we will see how one band and their music changed the entire world.
Chapter 1- The Part You All Already Know Of.
On January 12, 2004, the band Franz Ferdinand released their single "Take Me Out". It became such a hit that it changed the world around it.
NME called their album "Franz Ferdinand" the "Greatest thing since sliced bread. I think they are going to be the biggest thing to ever reach the top of the music pedestal since Elvis."
The Rolling Stone said "It is inconceivable of how good this album is. Drop the magazine and buy it now."
It quickly went to the top of the UK and US Billboards, and by the end of January, Take Me Out was inescapable. You could not go anywhere without hearing the song. Howard Dean, the Democratic candidate for the Presidency versing the incumbent George W Bush, was, and still is, a huge supporter for the band. "Take Me Out" only grew more. It became an disease that nobody wanted to get rid of.
Howard Dean took some time off from his campaign to spend a day with the band, making his popularity rise. Alex Kapranos, the lead singer of Franz Ferdinand, lead his support behind Dean. It made little sense, because Dean is American, and Alex is Scottish.
OOC: Look for some surprises here. If you get the butterfly correct, you get a brownie point!
