The Charlie Brown-like sense of excitement experienced by leftists eagerly awaiting the indictment of (pleeeeease just one) high-ranking Bush Administration official in connection with the NON-outing of NON-secret agent Valerie Plame, before reality pulls a Lucy and removes the football from the path of their foot.

The term 'sellout' has been around for a few generations. Often used as a negative term used to describe somebody that conforms to a particular way of doing something such a dress, vernacular, or type of work.
Recently it has been used in the indy music scene to a large extent since the explosion of ska, punk, hardcore, and indy rock.
One earns the label of sellout by alienating their core fans that have supported the band by changing their style to be more appealing to a broader audience, often become what they were rebeling against in the very beginning. While some may call this "evolution of the artist/music" one has to remember that evolution is a gradual change and not sudden and drastic, the losing of edge, and doesn't accompany a bigger record label.
While many bands out there refuse to be labeled as sellouts, they are often putting out records and being quoted as saying "This is more true to our core sound, where we started".

"The (fictional band name) use to be hardcore, but they totally changed styles and now they play them on Mtv"

In context to the song king of the thing by O.A.R.
There is a kink...and this thing that the song speaks of is the throne that the king sits on in the third line of the song. Some may say that you can't be king of a throne. But I say why not. Some beleive this king is the king of India because O.A.R. has a t-shirt that depicts this king as being Indian...hense the turban. And he is sitting on a throne. So what i say it this thing is an Indian throne
