Saturday night, James Hetfield of Metallica was honored by the Little Kids Rock organization at their "Rockin' the Bay" benefit in Menlo Park, California.

David Wish, Little Kids founder and Executive Director, presented Hetfield with the "Livin' the Dream" award

as a way to not only recognize his support of Little Kids Rock over the years, but also his role as an inspirational presence in a band that has revolutionized and defined a music genre

Little Kids Rock is now one of the leading providers of free musical instruments and instruction in the U.S., reaching more than 74,000 disadvantaged students in 25 cities across the country, with more coming soon...
