We speak of hard-partying, hard-rocking band Kings of Leon, whose members hail from the Sooner State. In the midst of the group’s U.S. tour, the guys decided to call it quits with 29 dates to go. Heck, even reportedly overheated singer Caleb Followill threw in the towel in the middle of KoL’s Dallas gig. After […]

Punch drunk
Look, Chicken-Fried News realizes that bachelor parties can get pretty wild, but unless you’re starring in a sorta needless sequel, there’s no need for the night to end in jail.
