Volbeat
I'm watching Volbeat now. These guys dress like modern-day Green Day and play a pleasing burly modern heavy metal with vocals that make you think of Elvis and Danzig before Hetfield. The place isn't yet even half full but the floor is packed, the kids are responding well, and I can't begin to imagine what it must feel to go from being a band that your humble correspondant had never heard of before to playing Madison Square Garden at Metallica's personal invitation.

I am outside of a Metallica show.
I am surprisingly early and I'm waiting for my contact. I'm drinking a strawberry smoothie and eating
small piece if rasberry cheesecake. Again surprisingly, considering the neighborhood, they were relatively cheap and I even saw her put real strawberries in the blender. The cake is a little dry, though.
