theJEDMAN NATION-A New Wave Manifesto
Documenting the JED Experience
Wednesday, May 12, 2004
Last night, I went to the big Metallica/Godsmack show at the Kemper. It was loud. There was fire. It was loud. There were explosions. It was loud. There were lasers. It was loud. There were plenty of sights coveted by the superficial man. It was loud. There were bad fashion choices. I didn't gain any answers. I just had one question. Why do all the wrong women wear sexy heavy metal cloths? It was really sweaty hot in the arena, but I didn't see any tops come off. Overall, it was Kick A.
I didn't want to go to the show, but I felt I had to go. I owed it to the significance of the day and I owed it to the genre. I've spent my whole life worshipping at the heavy metal alter of San Franciscan molt and steel. Everything I am today is because of heavy metal. I owe my life to heavy metal. I don't know how I would have made it without heavy metal. I am heavy metal. I am love.
I took the Hero. I went through several plans to fill the spot, but the Hero stepped up to the plate. The Hero is awesome. theQUICK is theQUICK. theQUICK needs no explanation anywhere in the civilized world. theQUICK is in the big leagues. The Hero is the Hero.
Godsmack was ok. No need to review them. Metallica was pretty good. They played all the hits for the pop kids like me. They ended the show with entersandman as expected. They played for two hours. It was quite the endurance feat for theJEDMAN on the first day of his 38th year, but he made it and he didn't put in his ear plugs. He's a contender. He is the new champion. theJEDMAN
