Morning Radio Show Canned Over KoRn Remarks

Tuesday March 15, 2005
FMQB.com reports: The morning duo of Rocky Nash and Scott "Snatch The Sidekick" Welter were fired from...KKXX/Bakersfield recently over a bit regarding the departure of KoRn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch. On Wednesday, March 2, the duo discussed a catch phrase -- "KoRn Gave Head To God" -- that began appearing online about the guitarist. Welch has said he left the band because of his newfound religious beliefs, so the catch phrase was beginning to circulate, making fun of him... Nash and Welter began talking about the phrase on the air, which is what led to their termination two days later. Full Story
