Korn frontman wants Ron Paul for president
President Barack Obama is loved by a lot of actors and musicians, but one band wont be performing at any of his campaign rallies: Korn. The metal band, which rose to fame in the 1990s when its Follow the Leader album, spoke with Billboard.com to promote their new album, The Path of Totality, and explained the meaning behind some of their songs, including Illuminati. Frontman Jonathan Davis says: I feel like Obamas an Illuminati puppet. Hes basically dragged this country down into the worst its ever been. Like I say about the White House, Youve built this house of shame. Everybody looked up at the White House and America and now I think its like a house of shame. I miss the old days when people were proud to be American. Its a rare expression of politics by Davis, who told MTV in 2006 that he wrote the song Politics because Its just about how I dont like to talk about politics Korn has never been a real political band. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1211/70099.html This follows on the heels of a story from February: Rick Santorum Endorsed By Megadeth Frontman Dave Mustaine Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum has picked up a campaign endorsement from Megadeth's Dave Mustaine. The heavy metal band's leader told MusicRadar.comwhat he thought about each of the four Republican presidential candidates: ... You know, I think Santorum has some presidential qualities, and I'm hoping that if it does come down to it, we'll see a Republican in the White House... and that it's Rick Santorum." Weighing in on the rest of the field, Mustaine called Newt Gingrich an angry little man and said Ron Paul will make total sense for a while, and then he'll say something so way out that it negates everything else. As for Mitt Romney, the rocker said, I've got to tell you, I was floored the other day to see that Mitt Romney's five boys have a $100 million trust fund. Where does a guy make that much money? So there's some questions there. Still, Mustaine would pick any of the GOP candidates over President Barack Obama. This isn't Mustaine's first foray into presidential politics. According to his record label Road Runner Records, Mustaine gave an interview to Pit Magazine in October 2004, in which he said, "[John] Kerry is a mistake. He will ruin our country." Mustaine didn't return a request for comment. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/15/rick-santorum-megadeth_n_1279794.htmlJ - Ninety percent of politicians give the other ten percent a bad reputation. - Henry Kissinger Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy som ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:349034 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
