The Metal Monk nails it...

The world's been a topsy-turvy place these past few years, for good and bad. Obama is president (who'da thunk it a few years ago?), taking over from a president who took the American economy and good name and put them in the sewer, and doing a decent job, with all he has to deal with.

Just when I thought I'd seen everything comes word of the Capuchin monk from Milan who is the lead of a heavy metal group! Brother Cesare claims he got the idea to "sing" metal after attending a Metallica concert; his group has released several albums and recently performed at a metal concert with such acts as Iron Maiden. Strangest of all, he's actually not bad in that genre of music (not that it's my favorite), as he wails and screeches his laments about life on this existential plane along with the loudest of them...
