Bartees Strange Shares New Song “Hold the Line”: Listen
I remember watching George Floyd’s daughter talk about the death of her father and thinking wow—what a sad introduction to Black American life for this young person. It was painful to watch her grow up in that moment, like all Black kids eventually do. “Hold the Line” was written over the course of three days during that first pandemic summer. Through this song I was trying to make sense of what was happening in the U.S., my neighborhood and my community at that moment. During the marches people were trying to stop the bleeding, locked arm in arm, doing everything they could to hold the line.

James Hetfield Congratulates Woman Who Gave Birth During Metallica Show
At this point in their career, Metallica have seen just about everything — at least that’s what they thought. At last Saturday’s show in Brazil, Metallica fan Joice M. Figueiró literally gave birth while the band performed “Enter Sandman” at the Estádio Couto Pereira. Figueiró said she began having contractions as Metallica started their set. Since she and her husband had tickets for the show for nearly three years, they decided to stay (with the approval of her doctor). Figueiró made it to “Enter Sandman” before heading to the venue’s medical area, where her newborn was delivered. “Luan Figueiró came into the world on 05/07/2022 at 23:15 shaking all the metal structures,” Figueiró wrote in an Instagram post. She did joke that she was considering naming him “James Ulrich” in honor of ...
