(1,908 posts)12. I was a system tech at a big heavy metal show last night.
During the change over between the support bands and the headliner, the crowd started chanting "USA, USA, USA" then it turned into "fuck Joe Biden, fuck Joe Biden". Now, at the risk of offending my liberal friends who appreciate the musicianship and power of big time Metal music, yes I do know a few, a picture of the crowd would have resembled pictures from 1/6. All I could think of was Mitch McConnel bonding with his base in the mosh pit at this show. Politics for them has all of the nuance of being a fan of a band.
