      @@TheBlashMusic Source? You're a celebrity? From what I understand every celebrity is different, much like, you know, actual human beings and stuff.
      But I dunno I just consider it an exercise in vanity more than anything, the kind of thing that "they wouldn't admit it" goes without saying for if they did they'd naturally look full of themselves.
      So, in short, I can picture someone like Tom Cruise Googling himself once per hour every single day and he's made his homepage his official fan site, so he is the first thing he sees whenever he goes online or whatever.
      I do not see Korn obsessing over themselves that much, beyond that, I'm not famous or anything but I never feel the need to Google myself. Why? Because I am me, I already know everything I need to know about me, and more than anything else I shudder at the thought of what else I might learn about myself in the process.
      So no, TL;DR -- they're not combing their comments. And even if they were, they'd never respond and you'd never know one way or another so we may as well just assume they're not reading them. There's better ways to actually contact them if that's what you're really trying to do.

    I don't care if it's a bit of a cliche/platitude/whatever: 2:41 is such an important thing to hear from someone I look up to... After a certain number of relapses, many in recovery (myself included) are too ashamed to let anyone know they've turned back again (and, therefore, less likely to get the help/support they need). At least for me, it's much easier to forgive yourself and get back on track when a relapse is met with empathy (rather than tough love, panic, etc.). Fellow addicts and/or Kornheads, I love you 💯
