Rock History

1998 – Rock act Korn serves a cease-and-desist demand to the Michigan assistant principal who suspended a student for wearing a T-shirt carrying the band’s name. Attorneys for the Immortal/Epic rock act serve Assistant Principal Gretchen Plewes, Zeeland High School, and the Zeeland, Mich., public school district with the papers, demanding that the three entities stop “[making] defamatory comments about Korn and its products” as well as “[claiming] to have personal knowledge that Korn intends to be insulting to the listeners of its music.”
