Music Twitter Responds to “The War On Drugs: Suck My Cock”

Post Author:

By now you’ve heard “War On Drugs: Suck My Cock”, the seven-minute Mark Kozelek ballad on his ongoing altercation with The War On Drugs at the Ottawa Folk Fest. And if you have not, then we direct you to the Sun Kil Moon website.

“War On Drugs: Suck My Cock” leaves no event unexplored in turning the feud/misunderstanding into a song. Kozelek dedicates each verse to a different moment in his interaction with The War On Drugs and even takes a moment to address his request that the “hillbillies” at his show “shut the fuck up,” going so far as to call out the journalist who broke the story as “some spoiled bitch rich kid blogger brat.” It’s everything you’d want in a song about The War On Drugs, including but not limited to The War On Drugs being the whitest band Kozelek has ever heard, Kozelek telling himself to go fuck himself, and the poignant observation that Bridge & Tunnel folk really love The War On Drugs.

So how did Twitter respond to this momentous release?
