They surpassed the artistic boundaries that others expected them to abide by.

Thrash metal? That’s for mere mortals.

Storytelling? That’s for the gods.

Storytelling fosters emotional connections that take hold in people’s hearts.

It helps us live in a heart space where others keep their treasures.

The storytelling here is not that of the video, which can only praise itself.

The storytelling is that of the members of Metallica. A bunch of kids who, several decades ago, told themselves their own story.

The biggest band in the world.

In the heart of each of its members, there is a drawer that says

“Metallica Rules!”

I have a similar drawer, it’s called “Get Things Done Man!”

My story is that I’m like a shark. If I don’t swim, I’ll sink.

That’s why I always have to keep moving.

We all have a drawer. What’s yours called?
