I’ll be the first one to admit this isn’t my usual approach to things but an e-mail came across my desk today and it brought to mind the attached cartoon graphic from PatriotUpdate.com.
On a personal note I have to point out that this isn’t the first time the heavy metal group Metallica and other memories have collided in my mind. In the 70’s there was a musical group called “Spirit in Flesh” (Metromedia Records) headed up by a guy named Michael I grew up with. It was my first driving assignment for a band and not only did it put me on stage at Carneige Hall in NYC, more importantly it took me to Washington DC for a May 15th Rally only the old folks remember.
Michael went on to change his name a bit later to “Rapunsel” as he and members of his commune in Gill, Massachusetts worked at promoting the band. I can’t really recall just when the next thing happened (could be a year or so), but along came a much more successful band called “Metallica” that achieved all that Michael wanted. The oddity of all this is that Michael’s actual last name was (you guessed it!) Metallica.
Take a moment and read through Metallica’s lyrics to their song “Master of Puppets”. In this day and age there can only be one person who quickly comes to mind... President Barack Obama.
Master of Puppets ------ Metallica
End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear Leading on your deaths construction
Taste me you will see More is all you need Dedicated to How I'm killing you
Come crawling faster Obey your Master Your life burns faster Obey your Master Master Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings Twisting your mind, smashing your dreams Blinded by me, you can't see a thing Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream Master Master Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream Master Master Needlework the way, never you betray Life of death becoming clearer Pain monopoly, ritual misery Chop your breakfast on a mirror Taste me you will see More is all you need Dedicated to How I'm killing you Come crawling faster Obey your Master Your life burns faster Obey your Master Master Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings Twisting your mind, smashing your dreams Blinded by me, you can't see a thing Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream Master Master Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream Master Master Master, Master, where's the dreams that I've been after? Master, Master, you promised only lies Laughter, laughter, all I hear or see is laughter Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries Fix me! Solo! Hell is worth all that, natural habitat Just a rhyme without a reason Neverending maze, Drift on numbered days Now your life is out of season I will occupy I will help you die I will run through you Now I rule you too Come crawling faster Obey your Master Your life burns faster Obey your Master Master Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings Twisting your mind, smashing your dreams Blinded by me, you can't see a thing Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream Master Master Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream Master Master
