I thought I was done being sick last night when I crawled into bed, but apparently not so. I think I ate something bad yesterday, or something that disagreed with me rather strenuously. Sitting outside at Opal's didn't help, and I had to cancel plans and go home early. Ugh.

SO Metallica paid $40,000 a month to a therapist who is not licensed as such and refers to himself as a "performance enhancement coach"? Did they really expect filming the process would make us like them more? This is rather strange, sad and excessive.

All in all, the article makes a good point that rock stars aren't paid to ever grow up.

Quote: "You wonder how these people will react to an extended sequence in ''Some Kind of Monster'' in which Ulrich sips Champagne and sells his collection of modern artwork at a Christie's auction for $13.4 million."

I think it is safe to say that all the fans Metallica tried to sue over Napster will rest easy in their dislike. I stopped listening to Metallica around then, in part because I was growing older and different, and in part because suing your damned fans when you're freaking millionaires is the most tacky, ugly thing thing to do.

I saw the trailer for the Metallica movie and all I could think of was Spinal Tap. I have always despised them (precisely because of their whole Napster/online music stance), but even the trailer was cracking me up so much that I think it would be hilarious to see it just for the pleasure of laughing my ass off at these puffed up buffoons.

Only a few more days! Take care of yourself so you'll feel better before you fly!

I want to see this trailer! Man. It's a Spinal Tap for my generation. Bwhahahahaha.

When Alan had his stomach bug, I bought these handy tablets that really help with the upset stomach. So I'll be alright. I should probably bring them along in case I get sick on the plane.
