What an absolute whirlwind of a week, huh? From the sudden Metallica announcements, to Nickelback being literally everywhere again, to acquitted child killer Casey Anthony rocking out on stage with Steel Panther, we’ve had a mess of bangers over the last few days. Sometimes, poetry just writes itself, really. And that’s not everything! Yesterday was
