I’m really not sure what it is, but there seem to be quite a few metal heroes who have some screws way too loose.

Take Ted Nugent, for example. The Motor City Meekman literally pissed and shit all over himself to avoid being drafted for the Vietnam War-but he’s never had a problem with any other American kid being sent off to die in some right-winger’s Oedipal Crusade. And to top it off, The Nuge is a pedophile.

And, of course, there was Gene Simmons, who confessed he had a metal-boner for Guv Goodhair of Texas.

Alice Cooper and Sammy Hagar also fit into the loose screws category, although they don’t seem to be AS loose as Ted and Gene.

But none, to this date, has shown himself to be as far gone as Dave Mustaine apparently is. This is a real shame, because Mustaine has given us glimpses of near-brilliance in his lyrics.

I gotta tell you, though…. after reading this, I’m thinking he must have had help with his songwriting. A LOT of help.

Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine’s not ready to cast his vote just yet.

 ”Contrary to how some people have interpreted my words, I have not endorsed any presidential candidate,” the rocker said in a release after earlier reports had him backing Republican Rick Santorum on Wednesday. “What I did say was that I hope to see a Republican in the White House. I’ve seen good qualities in all the candidates but by no means have made my choice yet. I respect the fact that Santorum took time off from his campaign to be with his sick daughter, but I never used the word ‘endorse.’”

In an earlier interview with MusicRadar.com, Mustaine had critical remarks for the rest of the Republican field.

“I was floored the other day to see that Mitt Romney’s five boys have a $100 million trust fund. Where does a guy make that much money? So there’s some questions there,” he said. “And watching Newt Gingrich, I was pretty excited for a while, but now he’s just gone back to being that person that everybody said he was – that angry little man. I still like him, but I don’t think I’d vote for him.”

He added that Santorum, who won caucuses in Colorado and Minnesota as well as the Missouri primary last week, “has some presidential qualities.”

 ”I’m hoping that if it does come down to it, we’ll see a Republican in the White House… and that it’s Rick Santorum,” Mustaine was quoted as saying.

You can’t be functional and wish to see Rapture Rick in the Oval Office. I am stating this flat-out, no qualifications. Dave Mustaine has dishonored his career and his reputation-or, at the very least, given us all reasons to wonder just what the hell happened to him.

If Rapture Rick is “Presidential,” I am the reincarnation of Elvis. I think I’ll go have me a peanut butter and fried banana sandwich right now, come to think of it…
