Muse are the perfect New Tory band

Tory Bear is clearly desperate for his teenage heroes (how young is he?), Muse, to be revealed as Tories. It wouldn't surprise me if they were, as I elucidated as a comment on the TB site ...

Muse are the perfect New Tory band.

They have that veneer of cool that

Muse, of course, are total rubbish, thoroughly in the MOR

always wanted to be Radiohead. But ultimately they're just fucking boring.

To stretch the analogy to the limits of usefulness, I think that makes
Tony Blair Thom Yorke ...
