That reminded me of a regular bit the Howard Stern show used to do when they were on good ole regular radio bsck in the 90's. Whenever they heard a clip of one celebrity lavashing praise on another celebrity they would take those comments and make them even more ridiculous.. One of my favorites was when Stern would say "He/she is so amazing, he shits solid gold! I'm not kidding. Straight gold bars!"
I like the Foos, but "dangerous" and "taking risks" is definitely not how I'd ever describe them. ESPECIALLY in 2014. With the exception of maybe their first album, they've always been about as radio friendly as you can get. They write solid tunes but they don't break any ground.
