Any time you’re up against Slayer, you can kiss your chances of winning goodbye—not because they’re so good or anything, but because they’re the only metal band the Recording Academy voters have heard of because they’ve won before. It alternates every year—them and Slipknot or Metallica.

In 1982 I wrote this new wavey pop song called “America,” and it featured the lyrics “America, home of the free / Not the place for you and me / Standing joke amongst the free / Stabbing at the Statue of Liberty.” It’s hardly Bob Dylan’s “Talkin’ John Birch Society Blues,” but at least it’s not “Enter Sandman.”
