WHAT MUSIC YOU LISTEN AND WHAT CLOTHES YOU WEAR ARE FORMS OF SELF EXPRESSION, AND THAT IS A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT…WITHIN REASON, OF COURSE! BUT WHAT WENT DOWN AT A MICHIGAN HIGH SCHOOL BACK IN 1998 WAS, IN MY AND MANY OTHERS’ OPINIONS, UNCALLED FOR…AND NU METAL PIONEERS KORN WENT ALL TWISTED SISTER AND DECIDED THEY WEREN’T GONNA TAKE IT! ON THIS DATE 26 YEARS AGO, ATTORNEYS FOR THE NU METAL PIONEERING BAND KORN SENT A CEASE AND DESIST DEMAND TO A MICHIGAN ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL WHO SUSPENDED A STUDENT FOR WEARING A KORN T SHIRT…SO THIS T SHIRT MUST HAVE HAD SOME LEWD LANGUAGE OR DISTURBING GRAPHICS, RIGHT? NOPE…IT WAS LITERALLY THE BANDS LOGO THAT SAID SIMPLY “KORN” BUT THE ZEELAND MICHIGAN SCHOOL ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL SAID THAT, QUOTE, “KORN IS INDECENT, VULGAR, OBSCENE AND INTENDS TO BE INSULTING. WEARING THE NAME KORN IS NO DIFFERENT THAN A PERSON WEARING A MIDDLE FINGER ON THEIR SHIRT” HOLY CENSORSHIP BATMAN! THAT IS BONKERS…IN MY OPINION. AND KORN WASN’T THE ONLY ONES WHO THOUGHT IT WAS RIDICULOUS…STUDENTS AT THE SCHOOL EVEN STAGED WALK OUTS…SERIOUSLY ADULTS CAN BE SO JUDGY SOMETIMES…TODAY’S ROXY’S ROCK REWIND MAY BE OFFENSIVE TO SOME AND THAT MAY BE WHY I LIKE IT SO MUCH…LOL…THE SECOND SINGLE OFF THEIR 3RD ALBUM …”GOT THE LIFE” ON 105.7 THE X IN THE 5 O CLOCK FREAK OUT
