right then, since its come up once or twice i shall explain to you all the meaning of my screen name.<br /><br />Firstly one thing it is
definately not is any kind of tribute in any way shape or form to David Bowie or his bloody Ziggy Stardust song! <br /><br />Now then my screen name is derived from the title of the song "Leper Messiah" by my favorite band, Metallica. For those interested it can be found on the Master Of Puppets album<br /><br />
<br /><br />the eagle eyed ones amongst you will note that my signiture picture is an adaption of the album cover.<br /><br />The song is track number six on Master Of Puppets and its theme is a very severe attack on leaders of the various Christian churches, accusing them of being manipulative and hooked on the power they have over their congregations. Being very much opposed to evangelical christians in particular and the religion as a whole, the song appeals to me which is why i use it as a screen name.<br /><br />incidently here are the lyrics to the song:<br /><br />
