"So, it's no wonder he asked New York City's own Living Colour to perform "Cult of Personality," a song whose very title refers to the effort to create a heroic image around a political figure, with lines like: "You gave me fortune, you gave me fame/ You gave me power in your god's name/ I'm every person you need to be/ Oh, I'm the cult of personality.""
"Living Colour performed their classic song "Cult of Personality" on Thursday night's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! The veteran band rocked a rousing version of the song, with Corey Glover belting out the lyrics, and Vernon Reid proving why he's one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Living Colour have a few dates on their upcoming itinerary, including an October 29th gig at NYC's Power of Music Benefit Concert and an appearance on Creed's Summer of '99 and Beyond cruise next April."
Living Colour performed their classic "Cult of Personality" on Thursday night's Jimmy Kimmel Live! while the show was filmed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Jimmy Kimmel returned to Brooklyn following a recent suspension after irking MAGA for a comment surrounding the the slaying of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, and invited high-profile Trump opponents like Stephen Colbert and Bruce Springsteen. Kimmel asked the New York band to perform a song whose title refers to creating a heroic image around a political figure, with lyrics about fortune, fame and power. The veteran band delivered a rousing version, with Corey Glover's vocals and Vernon Reid's guitar highlighted. Living Colour have upcoming dates including October 29th at NYC's Power of Music Benefit Concert and a spot on Creed's Summer of '99 and Beyond cruise next April.
