Heavy Metal Sunday has seen the future...

.. but no one believes me!

Cassandra Syndrome is a Maryland-based operatic metal band featuring LJ's own whiteknucklejoe on bass. Very interesting sound. You can buy their debut album here. Support smaller acts! They're where we get big acts from!

Today, enjoy Cassandra Syndrome performing The Magus live at Club Orpheus in Baltimore, Maryland.

A note on the DADT repeal.

There seems to be a lot of confusion about what was repealed on Saturday. The 1993 "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law added Section 654 to Title 10 of the USC. That's the law that specifically bars homosexuals from serving under any circumstance.

HR 2569 amends Title 10 by removing Section 654 and all references to it from the Code. It no longer exists.

Yes, the law against sodomy still stands, but it's unenforceable and should be gotten rid of as soon as possible. The important thing about DADT being repealed is the mere fact of being gay or bi is no longer a bar to service.
