[kj] Linkin Park - more suns

[Leigh Newton]

Cheers, my man. I don't really fault anyone for thinking metal is lame. The most 
high profile bands are some of the worst. But that goes for any genre of music, 
really, and anyone who knows even a little bit about music should know that the 
stuff that rises to the top usually does so because it's largely inoffensive and 
easily digested (and boring and predictable and stupid). Don't write an entire 
section of music off based on a bunch of limpdicks with Justin Bieber hair 
posing all tough in band photos.
