Aww ... Wednesday afterglow
TODAY'S TOPICS
* Harry Connick, Jr.: Weapon of Mass Seduction
* Brian "Head" Welch: Says "Bye, bye, Korn! Hello JESUS!"
Folks, Harry Connick, Jr. was fan-tan-bulous! He's an incredibly talented, brilliant, funny gorgeous man and he has a great time on stage. His band was marvelous. The whole show had a magic, charmed quality to it. And it didn't hurt that Harry has big blue eyes you call fall inside of and die in. Somewhere around when he sat down at the piano to singing "Please Send Me Someone to Love" I forgot I was supposed to be working. I, lucky duck, was one row from the front, pleased to be in the orchestra pit and have him actually look at me a few times. Delightful! The review will be in tomorrow's paper.
Shock of shocks, Korn's Brian "Head" Welch is leaving the band! I got to speak with Welch last night. (The story is in today's The Bakersfield Californian. Read it here. He says he's leaving the band to dedicate his life to Christ and he sounded super happy about it, like a huge weight was lifted from his shoulders. Welch talked about his daughter a lot and that his decision had a lot to do with just wanted to be a better father.
We spoke for quite a bit and naturally I couldn't use it all in the story, but here are some quotes from Welch on why he did what he did:
"What people think of rock 'n' roll bands, that's what goes on times 10 (drugs, alcohol and sex). It's there if you want it; every temptation to man."
"I come from a band that's looked on as evil. (And I know people think) 'Wow that's guy in the prime of his career right now. All these offers on the table and he's walking away,'" Welch said. "I don't care, I just want to be happy. I haven't laughed in, like, two years and now I laugh every ten minutes."
"I think they still think I'm coming back," Welch said. "That's a negative. I want to be on the same team as them after this all settles down. I'm not doing this to hurt them at all. They're korn. But I had not choice. It was either die or live like I need to live. Die and live that way or change and live like how I want to live inside of me. Made a choice and I'm here."
