KILLERS PERFORM A KILLER VERSION OF NEVADA’S STATE SONG
January 28, 2009 - 5:09 pm
Some top Democrats who stopped in Senator majority leader Harry Reid's Washington office today heard a Killer version of Nevada's state song.
Senators Chuck Schumer D-NY and Dick Durbin D-Ill., the majority whip, walked in and were introduced to the rock band The Killers, who are in the capital for a concert.
Reid mentioned he had heard the band recently performed "Home Means Nevada" during a concert and asked if they would sing it.
Frontman Brandon Flowers, who was seated on a couch, stood up and sang the state song a cappella.
During the 20-minute stop in Reid's office, Reid asked if the band had any legislation they were interested in bringing up. Renewable energy, one of The Killers said.
