Nothing Else Matters

​Rocker Talks to AG Garland


Rocker: So, AG, what’s going on with this classified document stuff found in the Biden home, garage, and “think tank”? What’s up with that, man?


AG: I cannot discuss matters that we might have under consideration.


Rocker: “Under consideration?” C’mon, man. Don’t you mean “under investigation”? Shouldn’t the Justice Department be open, be transparent, be as blind as that statue with the balance? And what’s with that raid by armed agents on a former President’s home that was guarded by the Secret Service, a raid that was leaked to the Press, a raid for documents that were in a locked room surrounded by those Secret Service agents?


AG: I never opened myself this way…All these words, I don’t just say. And nothing else matters. *


Rocker: Trust I seek. Do I find it in you? Gimme some sign you are trustworthy and nothing else matters.


AG: You should be forever trusting who we are. No, nothing else matters.


Rocker: You know, as a rocker, my focus has been my music. Life is ours; we live it our way. With regard to politicians, well, I never cared for what they do; never cared for what they know. Music, I thought, and nothing else matters. But now that I’m a little older, I think I’m beginning to care for what they do, about what they know. C’mon man, lay it on me. What’s going on with this classified document stuff in an unguarded garage and house. Today I heard that more documents turned up in Biden’s home, his unsecured home.


AG: I just want to say that you should be forever trusting who we are, you should know that we have America’s best interest at heart; in fact, it couldn’t be much more from the heart. And nothing else matters.


Rocker: But this stuff does matter, man. Every day for us something new, some new revelation. And on top of that, now we learn that the Justice Department not only knew about and withheld the information about the documents before the last election, but it allowed lawyers without classification clearance to handle the documents. You want to tell me that nothing else matters?


AG: We treat these matters seriously. And I mean that they couldn’t be much more from the heart.


Rocker: So I never cared for the games they play, never cared for what they do, but now all this trust is lost in you. And nothing else matters.


* “Nothing Else Matters”—Metallica
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close, no matter how far
It couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah, yeah
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters
