NOT THEIR FIRST RODEO: The video for "Beautiful War" by RCA's Kings of Leon, which premiered today on VEVO, is a finely wrought mini-movie that's reminiscent of gritty Hollywood flicks from a few decades ago (from Urban Cowboy to Junior Bonner). It stars Garrett Hedlund as a hard-bitten ex-con/rodeo rider, and the look and feel of the Casey McGrath-directed clip is a perfect fit for the song's emotional texture. (11/22p)
