I've known Eric for quite sometime, and if more of you "metal men" treated girls on the scene with more respect (as Eric does)maybe you would see more female metal fans at shows. Eric is also one of those guys that would give a band the shirt off his back to help them out as long as they are willing work to help themselves out. Oh, and the comments about our President. If it wasn't for those great Democrates and their Washington wives there would be no labling on cds. PMRC. Thanks for taking away my freedom to listen to what I want to listen to. Oh, and what has Kerry done for single middle class in Massachusetts? NOTHING!!!!!!! Also, he hasn't done anything to fix what is goin' on with the MCAS tests. At the high school I work at I know of 4 students that quit school this past school year because they failed the MCAS and they knew that they were not graduating because of the fucked up laws connected to the tests. The drop out rates are just goin' to keep goin' up. It is prodicted that if the drop out rate keeps goin' up, Massachusetts will have the worse drop out rate in all of the US with in 6 years. Fact is, not every student tests well. Kerry needs to fix the problems in his own state before he thinks of being President. Yes, he has done alot for Vets, which he should, but he really doesn't know how the middle class actually lives nor their problems. I love Massachusetts no matters what but there is so much more Kerry should try doin' for this state.
