Korn's 'Shoots And Ladders' Soundtracks a New Video Posted by U.S. Border Patrol Chief Gregory K. Bovino
Korn's iconic 1994 song, 'Shoots And Ladders', has been unexpectedly featured in a video by Gregory K. Bovino, the 'Commander at Large' of the United States Border Patrol. Bovino's role extends to overseeing high-profile immigration raids conducted by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. The video, posted on Bovino's official Facebook profile on December 15th, includes a narrated commentary on Isaiah 6:8 from the Bible, showcasing the Border Patrol in action.
While the video has sparked curiosity, Korn themselves have yet to publicly comment on the usage of their song. This isn't the first time artists have taken issue with their music being used in government-related content. Recently, several musicians have publicly protested the unauthorized use of their songs in U.S. government videos, emphasizing the importance of artist consent and approval.
The video's appearance of 'Shoots And Ladders' has ignited discussions about the appropriate use of music in public content, especially when it involves sensitive topics like immigration. As the debate continues, it highlights the complex relationship between artists, their music, and the entities that utilize it.
