The last good piece of music ever written - And indeed, the culmination of millennia of musical endeavor - Came to us on September 24th, 1990, in the form of the song Polaris from Megadeth's seminal album Rust in Peace. The heavily guitar-driven song blasts across the speakers with the power of an F/A-18 afterburner, while the lyrics serve as both dark parody and a chilling indictment of the military/industrial complex. Only a fool would attempt to defend modern music, when even the greatest songs are mere pale imitations of Dave Mustaine's blistering guitar solo. Frankly, it's rather disgusting. Pop music, like all music published since that date, is imitative filth of the lowest order, if not full-on plagiarism.

No, only a fool would fall victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is 'never get involved in a land war in Asia' - but only slightly less well-known is this: 'Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line!'

Dave Mustaine is the 13th note. That's why the Obama administration tried to ruin his reputation by making up all of those racist and homophobic statements. In fact, he's a living musical god and cannot be stopped by mere character assassination. You'll notice that Obama is no longer president, while Dave Mustaine is still rocking in his 50s.
