Hindsight is 20/20

Hindsight is 20/20. Really? That is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. If hindsight is 20/20, and I am obviously not able to see it myself, can someone please tell me what would have happened if Hitler conquered England in 1941, instead of attacking Russia? Since MY hindsight is NOT 20/20, I'd like someone to tell me exactly how hindsight it 20/20. Thank you.

Headbangin' Patriots

One of the greatest pleasures in my life is attending heavy metal concerts with David (my son). In our attendance at many shows, I was pleasantly surprised to get a “shout out” from the performer on stage.

In the very first show that we went to together in Virginia (2005), Geoff Tate from Queensryche made it a point to thank the troops that go into harm’s way. Although it was in the summer and hotter than you know what, I got a chill of appreciation.

When we attended Mayhem Fest in 2011, Sully Erna from Godsmack similarly made a point to thank the troops. Excellent! The follow-up band Disturbed lead singer, David Draiman, also chose to thank the troops.

Aside from being fabulous heavy metal bands (and tremendously enjoying their performances), it was quite heartening to hear their thanks for the troops.

Patriotism exists everywhere; headbangers are no different!
