Heavy Metal

Did you know "heavy metal" was once used exclusively by the military to indicate something that was heavily fortified by tanks and guns? In 1968, a journalist for Cream magazine used this expression to describe a performance of the band MC5 from Detroit. Soon the same magazine was using the term for many other bands of that era, and it caught on in the broader community.

List of heavy metal bands

I could post any video from any band on that list, but why not use a tune that's ABOUT heavy metal?

Add a little tequila to it and you'd have an Agitarita.

I love the smell of incense in the morning.

You are a Hippie

You are a total hippie. While you may not wear Birkenstocks or smell of incense, you have the soul of a hippie. You don't trust authority, and you do as you please. You're willing to take a stand, even when what you believe isn't popular. You like to experiment with ideas, lifestyles, and different subcultures. You always gravitate toward what's radical and subversive. Normal, mainstream culture doesn't really resonate with you.
