Truth is, when you're famous and have money you tend to lean towards drugs just because you have the money for it. Whether EOTS does drugs or not, their videos take weeks of planning not just some idea and then willy nilly dance around and make a video out of it. They plan those. They planning more. The videos are planned exactly to he out of this world, exotic, different and fun to match their music. It's all brilliance, really. And the way they dress up and act is similar to how ancient civilizations did, so saying the Empire's videos are like "Mikado on acid" is a bit of an insult to them and the ancient stuff they refer to. Especially in this video; it has in the end actual shrines from the Day of the Dead holiday (it was filmed around this time), so insulting them is again insulting ancient culture. Be nice people. This is the type if performance everyone loves anyway. Even if you think Empire is crazy, admit you do enjoy their music videos… admit it cause it's true ;) Everyone thinks these guys are just drugees that get high and make these videos out of the fantasies one gets whilst high.

I love Empire of the Sun. I love that still of the video, in which Luke, Nick, and the Goddess(s?) are all standing together, with Nick holding the umbrella over her head. Such a gentleman!
