James Hetfield leaves San Francisco because of its "elitist attitude"

"I love the Bay Area, I love what it's got to offer, but there's just an attitude that it was... It wasn't healthy for me".
James Hetfield’s apparently gotten tired of being looked down at all the fair-trade coffeeshops in Cole Valley, because he’s since moved to Colorado, and he says the attitudes of San Francisco residents are to blame for his decampment. Hetfield, to the tune of “Sad But True”: “It’s my dream, make it real, RAD COLD BREWWW!” Barista with the entire Hacker’s Manifesto as a sleeve tat: “Ugh, here“.
“I kind of got sick of the Bay Area, the attitudes of the people there, a little bit,” Hetfield said in an interview with comedian, UFC commentator, and psychonaut extraordinaire Joe Rogan on his podcast. “They talk about how diverse they are, and things like that, and it’s fine if you’re diverse like them. But showing up with a deer on the bumper doesn’t fly in Marin County. My form of eating organic doesn’t vibe with theirs.”
Hetfield went on to say he felt looked down upon by the kombucha-sipping, tech industry vets of the Bay Are because “there was an elitist attitude there — that if you weren’t their way politically, their way environmentally, all of that, that you were looked down upon.”
Hetfield said he feels much more at home in Vail, Colorado, where he now lives on a 40-acre property. “I love the ocean, and I love the Bay Area, I love what it’s got to offer, but there’s just an attitude that it was… It wasn’t healthy for me,” he said. “So Colorado does it for me.”
