In 1994 I people in March of at that
had heard of Korn, but didn’t agree w ith w hat they represented then. I knew a few the music industry w hich had told me about them and I w asn’t a fan. For myself, in 1994, I accepted Jesus as my Lord & Savior, hence the reason I disagreed w ith them time. With many opportunities in my life to become involved w ith the “Hollyw ood scene” I declined and w ent forw ard in my relationship w ith Jesus.
For the most part they w ere a group of guys w ho came together to become “Rock Stars”, w hich they did successfully but not w ithout a few bumps along the w ay. According to the internet videos and interview s that Korn has released and produced, they each w ent through profound changes individually and as a band. Brian Welch left Korn in 2005 because he too accepted Jesus as his Lord & Savior, There w ere Some public disagreements betw een Brian and the members, but 8 years later they have reunited and have produced their new est album, Paradigm Shift, w hich has some serious issues being addressed. The most current song that has aw akened some people is "Spike in My Veins“ w hich focuses on media manipulation and our right to privacy. h t t p: / / w w w .rollingstone.com/music/videos/korn-fight-media-manipulation-w ith-spike-in-my-veins-20140206 An aw eso In previous years, The issues are r that Korn had

What I believe about the band Korn is that their talents w ill be used for the good of the people in the Now verses Then. Then it w as about making money and becoming “Rock Stars”. Now it is about living to the best of their ability, enjoying their families and making a change in our w orld w ith their music and of course, Rocking Out! Then, in 1994, I w as NOT a fan of Korn. Now , in 2014, I AM a fan of Korn.
