7.27.2005 - What should I do?!?

Dear ScorpioN,

I'm 14, just wondering how the heck do I or other 14 year olds with strict parents get to go see Megadeth?!?!?! I tried everything to go I work, clean, worked in fields,save my own money to go, anything! I even went on my knees and begged! I cant wait tell I'm 18 to see Megadeth!!!!! I know there is no age limits but to my parents I gotta be 18!! Oh lord PLEASE tell me Megadeth will still be around oh GOD PLEASE!!! I tried to convince them that Metal isn't that bad. I tried everything the only thing I didn't try was to sneak out which I SHOULD have done!!!

- Freakin out Metalhead

Well, well, well. Sounds like your parents need a little schooling there young lad. Try this, mention to them that the lead singer of Megadeth has a son that is roughly your age, and his son Justis goes to a lot of Megadeth's concerts. I understand that your parents love you, and don't want any harm done to you...so you could also slyly suggest that one or both of them attend a show with you so they can see for themselves that all is good in the land of Mega. Then next time, maybe they will let you go it alone or with a mate.

PS. If that doesn't work, don't say a word to them about the next show--don't want to raise suspicion my dear--and then sneak out and rattle your goddamn head off at the show. Just think of it this way, if you happen to get caught...the punishment will have been well worth the crime. >:-)~
