Metallica Raises Money For Food Bank

A few days ago, Metallica played a very intimate gig at the Fonda Theater in Hollywood. The show was a benefit for the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, which sounds like an amazing cause to support.

Metallica fan club members got first chance at tickets through a lottery and then the tickets were open to a general sale at $100 a head. The fan club tickets were just $25. All the proceeds went to the food bank.

The venue is small and there were not a lot of people allowed in, so I can only imagine how hard it was to score a ticket for this, but what an amazing experience. Once in a lifetime, for sure.

Cool beans. Good for Metallica. For the amount of food that gets wasted in this country on a daily basis, literally NOBODY should have to go hungry. Wife and I donate $$ throughout the year to our local food bank. An old "running buddy" of mine from back in the day runs the county one here. I always bust him and tell him it took you about 40 years,but you've finally done something worthwhile in your life. Lol. Help out any way you can. You'd be surprised the amount of people who rely on this for sustenance in their lives.
