Dave Mustaine did something really nice, and helpful towards all of mankind. Instead of rambling and ranting, Mustaine has put his money where his mouth is. He has announced he will be funding a soup kitchen in Haiti which will be feeding up to 8,000 people a day. Mustaine announced this yesterday on his personal Facebook page saying:
Droogies,
I just wanted to take this time on a peaceful Sunday to stop and thank you for your tremendous support. I know not everyone here is a fan, but that's ok too; this message will be waiting for you when you change your opinion of me/us.
Until then, I want to sincerely thank those of you for something you have no idea that you've done, but that is really a righteous and unbelievable thing to do. You see, all faults aside, I really am trying to live my life differently today, and part of that was in finding something to believe in.
One of the things that has happened since I started this transformation is getting involved with helping widows and orphans, and helping the homeless. Now, here's what you've done…
I was approached with an opportunity, and thanks to your unwavering support, my family and I have been able to fund a soup kitchen in Haiti with a ministry called, "Outside The Bowl," and you will be proud to know that when it is started (which will be very soon), we will be feeding up to 8,000 meals a day to the less fortunate.
I am so very grateful, and I love you all so very much (yes, even you haters), because even when I am being vilified and having my character assassinated, I can find comfort knowing up to 8,000 meals will be served each day, along with a healthy serving of love and some spiritual nourishment as well.
Again, I cannot thank you enough.
Love and bruises,
Dave Mustaine
Look, this is a really good thing. Haiti isn't doing too well and could use any help it could get. I applaud Mustaine for helping out.
Now the critique: Is it me or does he come off like suuuch a dick when announcing this? That last paragraph seems so standoffish, like he's daring people to hate him now that he's done this incredibly charitable thing. You know what would've been even nicer? If you didn't make such a big deal about this, because it sort of just comes off as a giant publicity stunt, thanks to all the negative press you have accumulated from your political outbursts.
Either way, Dave Mustaine did something nice.
