Donald Trump announced his nomination of Pete Hegseth to be secretary of defense Tuesday night. Hegseth, a graduate of Princeton and Harvard, served in Iraq and Afghanistan as an officer in the Army National Guard, during which time he was twice awarded the Bronze Star. After finishing his military service, he served as the executive director of Vets for Freedom and Concerned Veterans of America. Hegseth is currently a contributor and host for Fox News. During the first Trump administration, Hegseth was considered for the leadership of the Department of Veterans Affairs, although he was not chosen for the position. Hegseth has argued for a more restrained use of American military force. Citing his own service as a National Guard, he has endorsed state-level “Defend the Guard” Acts which prevent the federal government from deploying state National Guard units overseas unless Congress has officially issued a declaration of war.

The Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello is now an active member of the organization's nominating committee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In an interview with Eddie Trunk he talked about older praised bands who were not inducted yet and he said he will do everything he can to get Iron Maiden into the Hall. He said that they are one of the most important Metal bands of all time and that they should have been there for a long time already. Tom Morello advocates for Iron Maiden in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame “My argument was this (With Rock Hall executive Jon Landau). If you're a little league player, your dream as a young baseball player is to have such a career that you would end up in the baseball hall of fame. I said, ‘A lot of young rock and roll guitar players have no respect for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. None of their favorite bands are in it." "(It should be) a place that everyone who loves rock and roll aspires to be in because their heroes are there. And you don't have that right now. To his credit, he put me in the room (to help).” He was a fundamental help for the induction of bands like Judas Priest,  Kiss, MC5 and the guitarist Randy Rhoads. During the conversation he also said that he will do everything he can to get Iron Maiden into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “I will chew my leg off like a coyote in a trap if I can't get Iron Maiden in. While there are many other deserving acts, Iron Maiden for me is the last most egregious oversight in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame." "Iron Maiden is like the gold standard of metal bands and they're not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And I know Bruce Dickinson said he doesn't really care. Well I care as a fan. I care very, very much about it. So I'm gonna do all I can to get, [with] whatever limited influence I have, to get Iron Maiden in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.” [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaZvjydrV_M&pp=ygUgc2hhcm9uIG9zYm91cm5lIGVnZ3MgaXJvbiBtYWlkZW4%3D[/embed]The post Tom Morello advocates for Iron Maiden in the Hall of Fame appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.
