Just sayin'

If you want to get all technical then we can. I don't read the newspaper either but he is on the front page of news websites often. I don't read star rags either, but they are all over the place at the supermarket. I could care less about any of these people that are on the covers of these things but they are there.
James Hetfield while great isn't Paul McCartney and doesn't have the mass appeal, and I would not be surprised if people didn't know who he is. Its impossible not to know who Steven Tyler is these days because of American Idol. Hes another one though, his music DOES have mass appeal and even before American idol he was often in the news "media" (FTFY).
And I'm not pissed off, I'm dissapointed in the stupidity of these people.
