Megadeth frontman likes Santorum for president

Megadeth guitarist and vocalist Dave Mustaine has endorsed former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum for president.

Mustaine, a founding member of the heavy metal band from Los Angeles, gave props to Santorum in an interview posted yesterday with the website Music Radar.

"You know I think Santorum has some presidential qualities, and I'm hoping if it does come down to it, we'll see a Republican in the White House . . . and that it's Rick Santorum," Mustaine said.

The frontman admitted he was "completely oblivious" as to who Santorum was but said, "when the dude went home to be with his daughter when she was sick, that was very commendable."

Santorum left the campaign trail briefly last month after his daughter, Bella, who suffers from a rare genetic disease, became ill and had to be admitted to a Virginia hospital.

Mustaine, who was a correspondent for MTV during the 1992 presidential election, said he was also impressed that Santorum hadn't resorted to "horrible attack ads" on television, unlike rival GOP candidates Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich.

On the band's website, www.megadeth.com, Mustaine said the most important life things in life were to "love God" and "family," and that among his favorite historical figures is Jesus.

Santorum frequently talks about faith and family on the campaign trail.

The candidate's spokesman Hogan Gidley was unavailable for comment. A message on his cellphone said his mailbox was full and could not accept calls.

Korn: Obama's an Illuminati puppet

President Barack Obama is loved by a lot of actors and musicians, but one band won’t be performing at any of his campaign rallies: Korn.

The metal band, which rose to fame in the 1990s when its “Follow the Leader” album, spoke with Billboard.com to promote their new album, “The Path of Totality,” and explained the meaning behind some of their songs, including “Illuminati.”

Frontman Jonathan Davis says: “I feel like Obama’s an Illuminati puppet. He’s basically dragged this country down into the worst it’s ever been. Like I say about the White House, ‘You’ve built this house of shame.’ Everybody looked up at the White House and America and now I think it’s like a house of shame. I miss the old days when people were proud to be American.”

It’s a rare expression of politics by Davis, who told MTV in 2006 that he wrote the song “Politics” because “It’s just about how I don’t like to talk about politics…Korn has never been a real political band.”
