REPORT: "Metallica Saved My Life," part 2

 

The movie, directed by Jonas Åkerlund, is basically about the relationship between Metallica and their fans. While the movie does cover the early days of the band, it’s not a movie about their career as a whole. The background information about their beginnings really serves as more of a foundation to show how they built a following— from fan #1, all the way to the present-day generation of 12-year-olds. It's filled with emotion and joy, and if you're a superfan of any band, you'll be able to relate.

It's hard to believe I've been to gazillions of concerts in New York City and not one of them landed me on the Great Lawn in Central Park. I'd been to the SummerStage, but never the big show grounds where Simon & Garfunkel and Diana Ross made history. My day was finally here! I had the privilege of attending the Global Citizens Festival yesterday and want to share the good and not-so-good things about being part of the event.
