"[The victim] apparently got into a fight with two men who were in the mosh pit."

This contradicts the ajc.com article that a commenter posted a link to in BV's earlier entry about this incident. I guess we'll have to wait for the trial testimony to know for sure.

Erik, you're an terrible human being. I hope you get killed at a Beirut show.

Erik-
It's "fewer" Korn fans, not "less."

This goes to show you that the collective intelligence of all rock fans has declined sharply since Pavement broke up.

Innocent until proven guilty.

Erik could be older than 20 but lying about his age on MySpace in order to pick up high school chicks.

Yeah hi folks. I notice there's a debate going on which could use my genius intervention and unusually high IQ score to settle the matter. I'm happy to oblige. The correct sentence should read: "the more dearth of korn fans in existance the more superior it would thus be." So, you're both wrong. p.s Korn rules.

What exactly does Korn rule?

Posted by Klaus_KInski | August 9, 2006 3:49 PM

KoRn rules [some] angry and confused pubescents.

I thought that Pavement were OK, I thought that they were lacking in the hooks department. It's fine if you have a serious underlying intellectual influence and want to express it your audience, unfortunaltely for Pavement, they really lacked the ability to write a great pop record. No offense, sorry.

Korn - populist middle America stuff. Nothing new here.
