re: Tesla, greatest of all trash metal bands.

“Trash metal” is hardly more than a hook to draw in readers. You can appreciate that, Harry. And honestly, Tesla is hard rock, not metal. I don’t exactly know how I draw the distinction — I’m a musical illiterate — but it’s real.

That said, if you have SiriusXM, channel 39, Hair Nation, will give you the idea. For example, last night, “Miles Away” by Winger was on repeat in my car. That’s some deep shite about how a man’s world can turn, leaving you in a locked loneliness without your lady.

P.S. But *if* heavy metal is real, then I am sure that there *must* be trash metal. You know, *bad* metal.

P.P.S. Liquid Metal, in the low 40’s on Sirius, seems as if it is metal. It’s a bunch of bands with names like Akhenaten doing songs titled “Bride Burial IV (Slivers of the Moon).”
