Corey Taylor has opened up about the importance of musicians’ job during the current coronavirus pandemic. During a radio interview, when asked how listening to or creating music was helping him stay positive during the pandemic, Taylor said, “It’s about just getting that song in your heart basically. I know it’s a cliché, but you know, it’s true.”
He continued, “It’s about a little bit that you can do for everybody because everybody’s hurt right now and I’m certainly not going to sit here and say that this is putting me behind the eight ball when I know there are people out there who have no jobs and they are at the risk of losing their apartments or houses or everything.”
He added: “That’s where our job as entertainers comes in handy the most. The most important thing is making sure that people at least have music to turn to, have something positive and at least a positive message of, ‘If you can just hold on for a little longer things can get back to normal’.”
