Jonathan Davis has changed my life in every way possible. Before my parents were divorced my dad was never there; he was always at work or out somewhere. My mom was there but was always angered or depressed because she was in a marriage that she wanted out of. My brothers would always beat up on me (emotionally and otherwise) and tell me that I would never amount to anything or that I wasn’t cool because I would cry for help from my mom or dad. I was listening to the radio (flushing out the sound of my brothers and mother fighting) and I heard KoRn. I heard Jon screaming crying for help, and it reminded me of myself. I listened on until the song was over just listening to see what he would say next. It was almost a wonderful sense of euphoria. The song stopped though and I was back to being depressed. I could hear my family fighting again. After that I didn’t hear KoRn for a while, I couldn’t buy any cds because my mom was convinced that their music was the source of my depression. I fit in no where at school. I was too weird to be a preppy, too nice to be a gothic, too smart to be a stoner, too stupid to be a nerd. I was alone and had no emotional support. Finally my mother had mustered the strength to leave my father. I couldn’t go with my mother my dad wouldn’t let me. I didn’t talk to my mom for at least two years (my father blocked any communication) and my dad went ape shit for four long years. He was totally insane, very scary. My oldest brother was the care taker. He was 17 at the time. Christmas had arrived and I got my first KoRn cd (self-titled). I listened to the whole thing over and over until my ears would hurt. Whenever life was kicking me in the ass I would put on KoRn and knew from that day on that one man in one band would be there for me more than anyone in my family could be. And if Jonathan were ever to read this I have something to say...You are the most strong-willed person I have ever seen in my whole life and that when life is sticking it to you there will always be your true fans there standing behind their true hero...
