Rudely Interrupted

Ladies and Gents, I present you with Rudely Interrupted, the first rock band to perform at the UN:



Why? Well, the members suffer from a melange of physical and intellectual disabilities (Blindness, Deafness, Aspergers, Autism and Down Syndrome). They are at once hilarious, depressing, and a little heartwarming(?). At their best they sound kind of like joy division, most of the time they sound (and look) like they belong on the Tim and Eric Awesome Show.

So is it wrong that these guys get exposure just because they're disabled? No. These guys love music, and really care about what they're doing - that alone puts them miles ahead the MTV crowd in my book.

I'm sick of no talent media idols getting bullshit music deals just to stroke their egos. Say what you will about their (terrible) music, at least Rudely Interrupted has integrity.
