 Laura: It’s rare to find such pro-Israel sentiment in Europe and this is especially true of the entertainment industry. Even if this is not your particular musical taste, this band should be supported.

    Johnny Rotten supports Israel

    It would be nice if you had more class acts like Zubin Mehta.

    He conducted this in Israel when it was getting hit by Scuds.

    Oh, now I know what I meant. Country music.

    Great!! Wonderful to have support from Europe. I’d go to see them and I don’t even like metal music!!!
