Korn Show Leaves Politicians Fuming

TAMPA, Fla. - The volume of a concert by the heavy-metal band Korn left Hillsborough County commissioners fuming and briefly had them considering getting a court order to halt future concerts at the amphitheater that hosted the group.

More than 50 residents — some living miles away — complained of booming noise and profanity-laced lyrics coming from the open-air Ford Ampitheatre at the Florida State Fairgrounds during this week's concert.

"I came home from the hospital Tuesday (the day of the concert), and I couldn't get to sleep," resident Peg Sexton said. "I've never, ever had it so loud. It was like it was across the street. It's unbelievable. We don't get that noise from a thunderstorm."

During an emergency meeting Thursday, County Commissioner Ronda Storms referred to venue owner Clear Channel Entertainment when she said: "A bane upon them; may the worms of your avarice consume your intestines, Clear Channel."
