After Saying He Likes Metallica, Hatch Claims to be a Deadhead
WASHINGTON, DC -- The Roll Call, the Capitol Hill political newspaper
recalls that during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on
Napster, Senator Patrick Leahy observed that his "beloved Grateful
Dead allowed anyone to tape their live shows and then trade tapes,
without ever demanding a nickel for the rights." Utah Senator Orrin
Hatch, an LDS Church member, couldn't pass on that opportunity, and
proclaimed, "I like the Grateful Dead, too, but I'm not a slavish
devotee."
Hatch's remark came after his opening remarks in the hearings, in
which Hatch claimed, as he was about to introduce Metallica's drummer
Lars Ulrich, that he had listened to Metallica that morning. "Pretty
darn good" he said.
