While I know everyone is still very sad, and I mean that with no sarcasm, over the death of “Dimebag” Darrell, I can't help noticing how eager all the asshole fundamentalists are to use this tragedy as a platform for all of their, “Rock is evil” bullshit. Its same old crap since the fifties. If they had their way there would have been no popular music since Elvis. I hate to be the one to tell them, but Jesus hung around with thieves and whores. What kind of music do YOU think thieves and whores listen to? These f%$^&ing people sit around like vultures taking shots at Dime, his fans, and basically any other longhaired person they fear, and do so with no respect or reservations. They ridicule, preach, and use his not even cold body as a soapbox for all of their self-righteous crap, and I don't really think it’s appropriate.
     Now, I don't really like metal, but I also don't think this is quite the time to have so much fun making fun of it either. Darrell Abbott got killed. He was shot in the face right in front of his brother, who was the drummer for both Pantera and Damage Plan. That's not really very funny. People didn't use the death of Jam Master Jay as an excuse to ridicule rap and it's fans, and the same kind of reservation and taste should be used now.
     That's all I really have to say today.
