In the US we have a thing called the 1st Amendment. Because of that I am able to have and state my own opinions. I don't know what grade you are in, but when you get to High School you will study The US Constitution.......Giv en that....The Strokes are nothing more than a prefabricated "boy band" who care more about how they look than how they sound. They spend thousands of dollars on hair, make-up and wardrobes so they can look like struggling musicians from the East Village, when in fact they are, and have always been rich spoiled kids. Too bad, there is a glimmer of talent in there, but they care more about being popular than good musicians.
