Injustice Done

And justice for all?

What justice is done by having Steve Hochman review Metallica (“Metallica Does Itself Justice With ‘New Metal,’ ” Dec. 9)?

Hochman said “the only thing keeping the show from being a truly great rock ‘n’ roll event was a lack of ‘sensuality,’ especially given the number of scantily clad girls.”

Come on. Anybody who knows what Metallica is all about realizes they don’t get into that warped, so-called “metal-mentality.” Get with it. This is what sets Metallica apart from all the other groups who cater to their “test-driven sexuality”-type audiences who care less about the music than “scantily glad girls”--and guys.

Justice, justice. The only justice there is is to realize Metallica will not fall into that overcommercialized pop-metal pit that emphasizes lyrics geared toward sensuality, or, should I say, which is disguised as sensuality but is really lust.
