VANCOUVER Midway through the Killers' sold-out concert in Vancouver last week, it finally hit me.
There was lead singer Brandon Flowers, with his scruffy new beard, skinny jeans and bolo tie, at the centre of a spaghetti western-themed stage, strung with fairground flags and neon lights.
Swinging his outstretched arms from side to side, with fingers snapping and scrawny knees knocking, Flowers almost looked like a startled young Courtney Cox, awkwardly dancing her heart out after Bruce Springsteen plucked her from the audience and pulled her onstage for his 1984 video Aha. So that's what all these comparisons to the Boss are about.
I'm being facetious, of course, but the analogy is somewhat fitting now that the former glam band from Las Vegas has mdash; to borrow from the Boss mdash; changed its clothes, its hair, its face.
