The Killers release political song ‘Land of the Free’ with video by Spike Lee

Washington (CNN)The Killers cover political topics from the border wall to mass incarceration on their new song "Land of the Free." Lead singer Brandon Flowers said in a note posted to Instagram that the idea for the song began after the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012. "In the months and years that followed, America would be hit with an onslaught of more mass shootings of innocents and too many examples of racial injustice to ignore," he wrote. Flowers credited Ava DuVernay's "13th," a film about race and incarceration, and Jimmy Kimmel's political monologues with convincing him to turn his thoughts into music. He also mentioned his grandmother, a Lithuanian immigrant who traveled to the US to escape Soviet oppression, and said, "We dishonor our values, our ancestors and our heritage when we tear gas our brothers and sisters seeking asylum." "I love my country," Flowers wrote. "I know that these are complicated issues but whether you stand to the left, right, or straddle the line, you've gotta believe that we can do better." The video for the track, directed by Spike Lee, includes footage from the wall on the US-Mexico border. Flowers has weighed in on politics before, but it's usually local. The Nevada singer performed at a rally for the Senate campaign of Democrat Jacky Rosen in his home state in 2018, and he's appeared before with former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat.

Politics on late night: Michelle Obama rules out running for political office, ‘ever’

“I’m talking about like the head of the committee or Barack or Hillary or somebody like that,” Kimmel clarified. “No, I haven’t had any serious conversations with anyone about it because it’s not something that I’m interested in or would ever do. The ABC talk show host then pointed out a passage from her book where she described how her husband would be “at his most relaxed” on high-pressure days when he was president. “Why do you think that is?” Kimmel asked. “Because that’s what fuels him,” the former first lady responded. “He’s a grinder, you know... I think he feels most fulfilled when he’s full, when his plate is full. Like, ‘I’m a plate spinner.’ You know, those jugglers who keeps spinning those plates and if one is starting to wobble, he spins it. And if everything is going okay, then he’ll put another plate up. Before wrapping up the interview, Kimmel handed Obama several outlandish statements he insisted she could read out loud because she’s no longer the first lady.
