METALLICA's ULRICH Drops Cash On San Francisco Mayor's Gubernatorial Campaign

According to SFGate.com, METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich has donated $15,000 to San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom's gubernatorial campaign.

Previously best known around the California state for legalizing gay marriage early in his first term at City Hall, Newsom later became notorious for an affair with his best friend's wife, which ended barely a year before he married a movie starlet, according to SGVTribune.com.

Fundrace 2008, The Huffington Post's Google Maps mashup of 2008 presidential campaign donations, previously reported that Ulrich donated $2,300 to John Edwards' 2008 presidential campaign.

Johnny Reid "John" Edwards is an American politician who served one term as U.S. Senator from North Carolina. He was the Democratic nominee for Vice President in 2004, and was a candidate for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination through the January primaries, until he dropped out and later endorsed Senator Barack Obama.

In 2007, Why Democracy?, a documentary project using film to start a global conversation about democracy, posted a nine-minute video interview with Lars Ulrich in which he answered ten questions on his views about God, democracy, and systems of government. Watch the clip below.

The ten questions asked were:

01. Who would you vote as President of the World?
02. Can terrorism destroy democracy?
03. Who rules the world?
04. Why bother to vote?
05. Are women more democratic than men?
06. Is God democratic?
07. What would make you start a revolution?
08. Can democracy solve climate change?
09. Is democracy good for everyone?
10. Are dictators ever good?

When asked whom he would want to be the "President of the World," Ulrich replied, "I want the smartest guy, and the smartest guy is Bill Clinton, so Bill Clinton should be the president of the world, absolutely."
