I have to admit that I am guilty of not understanding the vast majority of the lyrics of the metal-ish music that I listen to, but since most of it is given to me from you, I rest assured that what I take in isn't racist intolerant crap. I also agree that bands that take matters into their own hands when it comes to violence at their shows is admirable and nothing has more impact than the band themselves throwing someone out of their own show for being a completely disrespectful ignorant fuck. Music is about expression, and expressing your opinions and emotions through your artform is what its all about. When people comment about how a band is "too political" or should "just stick to making music", I often find myself wondering why. What else are they supposed to convey? I would rather know that a band is passionate about a certain cause than assume they're just selling out to what's popular in mainstream society. That is absolutely pointless and empty. Bravo once again on this entry. It is something everyone should take into consideration before acting violently This is probably one of your best entries to date.
