korn.

korn was one of those bands i was never allowed to listen to. they swore in their songs, and talked about drugs and sex...we didn't even say 'drugs' or 'sex' in my house. now i'm not the type of girl to rebel against my parents just because they didn't want me to do something so it the whole korn phenomenon passed me by without a second glance. i briefly heard about their guitarist becoming a christian and probably thought some really jaded thought like, "we'll see how long that lasts." end of korn story. wrong!

just a few weeks ago i got the incredible opportunity to interview brian 'head' welch from korn. when i first heard that i was going to get to talk to him face to face i went into scramble mode trying to learn everything i could about him, his past, and his former band. i borrowed korn cd's (not as bad as i was expecting!), read his book and watched interviews online. i was a sponge for everything 'head'.

the day of the interview i was so nervous! i mean, i've met rock stars before in my life but this guy was a legit rock star who had millions of fans around the world, i have one follower on my blog (thanks doc!). instantly i was put at ease when he asked to sit to my right during the interview so his good side would be on camera. not gonna lie, i wanted to sit there too because you could see my lip ring better but who was i to deny the guy?! oh vanity!
the interview went well despite the fact that i'm a "hand-talker" and i looked like a frickin' windmill. he was really intense but very eager to share his story and what God has done in his life. he talked about his tattoos, his daughter, life since korn and twitter.
if you don't know his story you should definitely check it out, it's one of hope. it shows that God is moving in lives still. it shows that God is bigger than anything in this world. it shows that you're never too far gone.
