#OccupyFriday Bodies

'Bodies' was written about the brotherhood of the moshpit and was never about violence."
Unfortunately the this song has been used to terrorise at Gitmo and is listened to by troops watching real bodies hit the floor. That is an abuse of music. Metal is not about killing people it's about killing pop music with crunching riffs. However one of the sources against music being used this way said:
"At Guantanamo, the U.S. government turned a jukebox into an instrument of torture,"
A CIA source replied:
the CIA used music only for security, "not for punitive purposes - and at levels far below a live rock band." 
That has to be the dumbest statement since anything that came out of Tipper Gore's mouth in the 1980's.

If you play Britney Spears to me that is punishment (unless it's a mashup that's different). Stop twisting our music and join us in the moshpit. Moshpits aren't about violence. It is the heart of the bleeding nose shelter. Violence does not bring happiness. A moshpit does!
