FTA: "With emotions raw after Vegas, Foster said that he and his bandmates decided not to perform "Pumped Up Kicks" at the Austin City Limits festival in Texas or at the "All Things Go" music festival in Washington because some people misinterpret its meaning. "
Reminiscent of how sh!t happened whenever the Rolling Stones performed Sympathy for the Devil.

Its one of my favorites and their best songs...their former bassist Cubbie Fink is a Christian missionary who married Evangelical artist Rebecca St. James. The song reminds me of California...am more in tune with the sound, not the words however.

The guy who was his bass player when they did that song is married to a Christian singer.

Musically, it’s a darn good song. I love the bass line.
