As the frontman for heavy duty California rock band Korn, Jonathan Davis has turned angst into an art form, and has sold an impressive 32 million albums worldwide since the group's inception in 1993. Having battled addiction and long-term depression, much of the inspiration for Davis’ lyrics has come from internal demons. But right now he’s making noise about an external issue that will likely affect us all in some way – the April 20th drilling explosion at the Deepwater Horizon oil rig.
The BP boycott issue is a difficult one. Fuck BP corporate in the ass, but most of the stations here in the U.S. are privately owned. Not always cheap or easy for a small business to just up and change who they are. I've never been a big fan of using BP gas, so I tend not to go there anyway.
What an excellent interview. I really enjoyed the wide range of topics covered and not just the standard battery of questions you see everywhere. Jonathan is a thoughtful guy and it's nice to see his perspective on issues.
