This is my story. What's your's?

Followers,

I would like to know what your story is in regard to heavy metal. How did people treat you because of your interest in heavy metal and similar music?

In my case, I first copped a ribbing because of the music I liked back in the '80's when I was in high school. This was back when all this propoganda came out about Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, AC/DC and Kiss.

More recently, I have been yelled at by people from their cars, been pushed and shoved on trains and in crowds, and even had things thrown at me. I've also had bus and cab drivers not stopping for me when I have been waiting at the bus stop for ages.

I found that other young people were worse about it than older people and those in authority (like teachers and the police) (my t-shirts weren't offensive, so there was no reason for people like the cops to have a go).

I started a cause (on Facebook) so that I will be free to dress as I wish, and not have to put up with this crap. So, let's hear what you have to say.

cheers,
Colleen

Casey Heynes and Bullying

I have copied and pasted this blog entry onto the End Metallophobia blog (from my regular Night Owl blog).  Even though it is not specifically relevant to heavy metal, I think it is important to understand we all have times in our lives where we are bullied in some form or another, and we all have our 'breaking points'.  In particular, metalheads who have been bullied and can relate to it will enjoy it.  A few weeks' ago, this youngster (a 15 year-old boy from St Mary's, NSW, Australia) was on the news. He didn't do anything particularly 'extraordinary' but his actions had extraordinary outcomes for many people who could relate to his story, who are surprised what they are capable of when they decide to fight back. It shows that we all have our breaking point, and even though none of us wants to reach it, sometimes it is a necesary evil Casey Heynes was one such person who, for most of his life, was bullied for being overweight, but when he hit high school...

Why I love Rock and hate the Dance scene

By Laine Michelle Allen (a friend on Facebook) Share Yesterday at 06:55 OMG where do I start....There's been a few things said about the rock scene lately that is really getting to my nerves and I had to get this off my chest.... Despite the fact one of my dad's favourite bands is ACDC he was being a bit of a smart ass to me and my cousin when he tried to prove rock bands don't last long.... so he asked "Name one band that has lasted over 10 years..... As much as I love my dad, my cousin and I shot him down in flames as the list went on: ACDC, motley crue, gunners, iron maiden, judas priest, bonjovi, kiss, dokken, megadeth, metallica, skid row.... omg the list just goes on. DANCE PEOPLE: Can you name any pop group who has been going for nearly twenty years, still producing albums to this day AND DOES NOT USE MUSIC ENHANCING to make themselves sound good. Another point of mine: half of it is remixes and voice enhancing effects to the point where I reckon with the t...
