When It's A Slow News Day

...give the fans a headline like this: Korn Guitarist Says The Jesus Tattoo on His Hand Keeps Him From Masturbating. This information from an "interview" on the guitarist's own website. Apparently he left Korn a month ago & thinks everyone cares about what he's doing, or, uh, not doing. To help all of you shortcut this one, the article is boring and barely mentions music; seems like a staged Q & A, and frankly,
I blame Korn as being partially responsible for the downfall of heavy music, so no one should be hangin' on this guy's words. However, sometimes a good headline is enough to brighten your day.

Ah, "the downfall of heavy music" -- this is not something that I can hold forth on. But, Diane, you played "Solitary Confinement" by the Weirdos (?) last week during the marathon and I was transported. It must've been years since I've heard it.

Ahem, he's got two hands. Are both of them tattooed? What if "Satan" urges him to wear gloves?

I suggest that everyone go listen to "+cry+," the massively cruddy song this guy has posted at his site. His badly-named site. http://headtochrist.com

Oddly, the ID3 tags prominently include the word "PUBLICIST." I wonder if this is all some sort of a ploy - there's a LOT of money in shitty Christian music.

Right on as usual, Krys. Actually, "real" men wear gloves, anyway, cuz their hands are too calloused and rough for such a tender job.

you know, that might help with nose-picking too.

#1 His music sucks
#2 The first line in his journal is "Hey ya'll jesus psychos out their [sic]." Wtf?
#3 Leviticus 19:28: "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks upon you: I am the LORD."

weird.

i must say though that i object to your claim that heavy music has suffered a downfall... if anything, after The Dillinger Escape Plan's album Miss Machine its future is in VERY good hands.
