I was at their concert in Birmingham to support the Black album when
Hetfield told people to steal their album if they couldn't afford it. I
thought about that when the Napster thing came out. Metallica died for
me when they stopped drinking and did that documentary where they talked
about their feelings and epiphanies while jogging. Someone gave me
their St. Anger album and I listened to the first 60 seconds of each
song and never touched it again. They had pretty much jumped the shark
at that point.

ever since napster bad, metallica has kind of become a joke. Lars was
an utter douche from day one, hetfield always presentd as a fun guy to
get drunk and either beat people up or eat mushrooms with. they died
with MTV. Im not sure any of the hipster douchebags will miss the guy,
probably just best he strap himself with a decent size nuclear ied and
detonate in the bay area.
Isnt that where tales from the city was located, thats the first show
that presented gays in a non creepy way, and totally made dharma and
greg believable

I don't consider Marin County all that "diverse". Bunch of whiny
latte-sipping yuppies if you ask me. Really, really small number
of Blacks. The Asian population is on the upswing, but they are
more hootie-tootie than a lot of the "whites". Same goes for a
large portion of Silicon Valley. The Asian population is
exploding; approaching 33% in areas like Apple-ville (AKA
"Cupertino").
Humboldt County is almost all white. I can't remember ever seeing
any Black folks there, although I know of a few Asians. That said,
there are plenty that you will see toting a deer on the hood; at
least during deer season. In the off season they hide them in the
back of the pickup.
Similar up here in the hills/coast area of San Mateo County. Not
many Blacks (I know 3 or 4), but quite a few Asians. I also know
many people that could be hauling deer on their hood (again during
deer season). We're on a first name basis with a couple of game
wardens who are frequently looking for the deer poachers, but it's
basically a stand-off.

Apologies to Bill
Metallica’s James Hetfield:
"I kind of got sick of the Bay Area, the attitudes of the people
there, a little bit," he said. "They talk about how diverse they
are, and things like that, and it's fine if you're diverse like
them. But showing up with a deer on the bumper doesn't fly in
Marin County. My form of eating organic doesn't vibe with
theirs.". . ."there was an elitist attitude there — that if you
weren't their way politically, their way environmentally, all of
that, that you were looked down upon."
I experienced the exact same thing in Humboldt County 26 years ago.
