It's just heavy metal. Leave your politics at the door...

Metallica frontman James Hetfield delivered a message - that I and certainly most of Americans appreciate - when people pay to see a rock concert, maybe politics should be left at the door.
During Metallica’s most recent concert, Hetfield addressed the crowd and made it clear he wasn’t interested in turning the band’s stage into a political rally. Instead, he said Metallica’s purpose is bringing people together through music. “We don’t give a crap about the differences, OK?” Hetfield told the audience. “We care about the similarities. And we all love music.” Hetfield then made his point even clearer: “Music is our common language. Politics has no place here.”
The comments stand out at a time when 'entertainers' increasingly use concerts, award shows and other public appearances to promote political causes or attack politicians. Hetfield’s message was different - regardless of what fans believe politically, they’re at the concert because they share a love for Metallica and heavy metal.
For one night, the message was refreshingly simple: Republican, Democrat, conservative, liberal or none of the above - enjoy the music and leave the political fighting somewhere else.

Let me tell you a little bit about these. I bought two for 
my kitchen cabinets. They're rechargeable, held on 
by self stick magnets, and were real easy to install. 
Trust me on these - they work great...

  1. I went to an Eagles concert years ago and one of them started their political b.s. ( I think it was Henley). The whole place started booing and yelling "shut up and play". His rant ended quickly and the show went on.

  3. Lyrics already send the message you want. If you keep those politic-free, that would seal the deal.

  5. While I applaud his position the reality of life is simple. As Pericles stated long ago. " You may not be interested in politics but politics is interested in you".
