I'm sure many of you have heard of the book Metallica and Philosophy: A Crash Course in Brain Surgery composed of articles discussing the philosophical themes prevalent throughout much of Metallica's music. Well, William Irwin, chief editor of the "Philosophy and Popculture" series, has been gracious enough to donate a signed copy of Metallica and Philosophy: A Crash Course in Brain Surgery to three lucky Metallichicks.com members! But you gotta think a little bit to win this prize....
---------------------------------------------------------------------


Listed below are 5 philosophical topics. Perhaps you yourself have debated a few of these questions before with friends -- well, so have Metallica! Each one of these philosophical queries are the theme of a particular Metallica song. For example, if I were to give you the theme "Fame fades quickly," you might think of the song "The Memory Remains." To help you out, a choice bank with the correct answers listed in random order is included. But beware -- There are several bogus answers listed as well!


1) Is the death penalty moral?
2) What is the meaning of life and why are we here?
3) Why would God allow suffering?
4) What is the justification of political authority
5) If life is absurd and meaningless (e.g. the myth of Sisyphus) then why not commit suicide?



Remember, I'm not looking for the answers to the questions above, but the specific Metallica song which addresses each question. Submit your answers to webmaster@metallichicks.com along with your name and member number. Out of the correct entries, three winners will be selected at random to receive a copy of "Metallica and Philosophy" signed to YOU by chief editor William Irwin.



Choice Bank:
...And Justice for All
Ride the Lightning
Wasting my Hate
The God that Failed
Bleeding Me
Fade to Black
Devil's Dance
Through the Never



Edit: The deadline is Monday, December 17

tehe its interesting that you gave the answers.
I think it would have been more fun to see what each persons interpretation was.
coz i could have answered with songs that were not on the answer list!

Yeah it would have been way harder.
I think, as it is now, most of the answers people are sending to Raquel will be correct.
