A petition to honor former Metallica bassist Cliff Burton gained official support on Monday night. After gathering over 2000 signatures, organizer Robert Souza asked the Castro Valley Municipal Advisory Council to commemorate February 10th as “Cliff Burton Day” in Castro Valley, and the board agreed that it was a good idea. The MAC Board voted 7-0 in favor of creating a “Cliff Burton Day,” which forwards the resolution on to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors. Their meeting will be on February 6th, so stay tuned to find out if “Cliff Burton Day” becomes a reality!
