His daughter is actually a year older than that. He mentions adopting her in this column.

he said he hates masculinity that presents itself in a retrogade way, not outright masculinity

although i do agree he shouldn't have used the term masculinity

It's funny because I was just on an 80s binge and I noticed how many songs about nuclear war there were back then and everyone did them yet he shits on metal bands for doing exactly the same thing.

So why is it ok for U2 to make a song about nuclear war but when Iron Maiden does it, they're worse than Hitler.

Read his review of Master of Puppets. He says he agreed with Metallica's politics but disliked their muscled image. And actually he said he could never fully get behind U2 because they were too rooted in 70s AOR sounds for his taste (iow not simple and punk rawk enough for him). I get the impression he just dislikes the cartoony, over-the-top imagery of metal and can't take it seriously even when it has a message he agrees with.
