International post-rock megastars Godspeed You! Black Emperor were detained at a gas station in rural Oklahoma last week. Suspecting the band were terrorists, station employees called the cops, who brought in the FBI to question the Canadian sensation. While some may see this as an opportunity to bash my home state, I'm sure there are rural places in Pennsylvania and Texas that would behave in similar way. Shoot, there are places in the Philadelphia suburbs that would call the FBI on the Kranky recording stars - just out of spite. I sadly missed them at the Texas Union, but I noticed Southeast PA is notably absent from their tour schedule.
Thanks for this report McConnell. I'm gonna try not to reference it when all my West coast friends ask the loaded question, "so what's Oklahoma like?" Damn, it makes me sad when people's worst suspicions are confirmed...
