Notes:
When I was in high school, I lifted weights in the attic bonus room at my parents’ house in Dallas, NC with Master of Puppets (on cassette) blasting at top volume. Everyone in my family hated it, but I felt like a total bad ass. (I wasn’t.) My dad found the cassette one day — which has cover artwork featuring a cemetery with white crosses tethered to strings manipulated by god hands in an ominous sky. He stormed downstairs, angry that such evil imagery was in his house, and asked: “WHOSE META-LICKA TAPE IS THIS!” Still one of the funniest things he’s ever done…
Gonna call him today to remind him about it. You should call someone you love too.
