Proud son of the East Bay and noted environmental activist James Hetfield was held at a London airport upon arriving before Metallica's performance at the Live Earth concert. Apparently, airport authorities pulled him aside because with his new double pronged beard, he looked too Taliban-y.
Upon arriving at the airport, Hetfield was detained and questioned but after explaining who he was and what he was there for, airport officials let him go. London, of course, has been a bit jittery after several recent failed terrorist attacks and Ayman al-Zawahiri's recent pronouncement that he wants to rain terror on the Infidels for "St. Anger." The CIA has noted that in one of his taped speeches sent to Al Jazeera, Al-Zawahiri mentioned that Metallica should have quit after Cliff Burton died and blamed "the Zionist conspiracy."

Sensibly he didn't pull a "Peter Buck", to whit, "I AM R.E.M!"
I love that James Hetfield is a greenie. Really expands the fold. If only we can get Robert Smith to engage the goth kids and Lil Wayne to get the trunk bumpers on board.
