Early today, I had one of those random, but awesome conversations about metal. I was sitting on a bench reading and this 50 or so African man asked me if I knew where the Social Services building was. I was wearing a Mastodon shirt, which the guy pointed out and said they were a good band. I thought he was bullshitting at first, but then he started talking about how Remission was a great album and that March of the Red Fire Ants was one of his favorite songs.
Then he told me this crazy story about how, when he was in the Marines, he got stationed in Norway and saw Mayhem, with Dead, perform. I'm not sure if I bought it, but it was pretty entertaining. We started talking about Bolt Thrower too and I mentioned I had seen them live at MDF, which he thought was awesome. He hasn't made it to MDF yet, but he said it was on his bucket list. His wife ended up dragging him away after a few minutes,
Appearances can be deceiving
