Metallica Anyone?

When I was in high school and college I liked listening to "heavy metal".  I started listening to it because my boyfriend at the time was listening to it.  It wasn't a terribly difficult transition from Guns N Roses and Skid Row, which I was already listening to.  I found it freeing to be able to stop being the nerdy, good girl I had always been and to start listening to loud music about things that I would never do.  I tended to stick to bands that seemed to have lyrics that meant something, but it was still a little bit of a revolt.  Anyway, I haven't listened to much of that lately.  The DJ did play Eminem at my wedding (not heavy metal, but still not good girl music) and Brian and I still listen to Eminem in the car when we get to go out alone.  I guess now we are revolting against being responsible parents.  But my point is, now that I am in Ohio, I hear Metallica on the radio almost every day.  I didn't realize that I missed my little rebellious self until now.  Our CDs are all packed up right now but I have decided that once we unpack I am going to get my Megadeath CDs out and put them on my iPod.  Who knows, I may even listed to it at work . . .

Okay, so I had to update this post.  I get emails everyday that have a section at the end describing events that happened on that day in the past.  Here is an item that was on the list today: "In 2000, Metallica filed suit against Napster, the University of Southern California, Yale University, and Indiana University for copyright infringement, unlawful use of a digital audio interface device, and violations of the Racketeering Influenced & Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO)."  I have to chuckle at the coincidental timing.
