KoRn pulls an Al Gore

Posted on July 31, 2007

korn.gifI'll admit it. When I was in middle school, I used to love KoRn. Yeah, I was that guy - - the guy in the JNCOs. Ever wonder why "Got The Life" was #1 on Total Request Live everyday in 1998? Because I voted for it non-stop.

Earlier today, KoRn announced their latest entrepreneurial endeavor - - creating their own brand of bio-fuel. Korntastic will be a domestically produced alternative fuel derived from plant based energy sources. The product will emit a significantly smaller amount of CO2 than regular fuel does. The band has arranged to have bio-fuel replace gasoline in the 16 touring vehicles on this year's Family Values Tour. Lead singer Jonathan Davis says "We can't save the planet overnight but this is our way of saying everyone has to start somewhere. As a touring band it's our responsibility to start making a difference. We encourage all other bands touring this summer to do the same." Al Gore must be so proud of you guys. In fact, rumor has it Al started wearing JNCOs.

KoRn's new album, Untitled, hits shelves today. To promote the release, they will play a free concert tonight at 6 at the South Street Seaport.
