Florida Man Lights Cruisers And Precinct On Fire

Flames erupted after the second attempt.

There are lots of ways to wind up in jail or prison. Some offenses carry with them much longer and severe punishments than others. Lighting a pair of police cars and a police precinct are both highly frowned upon. Police in Pensacola say they observed a man trying to light two official vehicles on fire over the weekend. They say their security video shows a man pouring an unknown liquid on two separate cruisers and then attempting to ignite the substance. Luckily, the substance failed to ignite. That's not where the story ends, though. Later the same night, the same man returned and once again tried to light a substance that he poured on the cruisers and the side of the precinct building. This time, however, the man's attempts to light the property were successful. As the fire was being extinguished, the suspect was apprehended and arrested. Investigators say a 43-year-old man named Demon Blackmon was taken into custody after an initial reistance. The man was taken to the Escambia County jail and charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, resisting arrest with violence and arson. The charges carry with them a possible 30 year sentence. The man is being held on a $190,000 bond. Source: WFLA.com

Bowie's Greatest!

David Bowie's passing is a few years behind us, and it still somehow feels shocking. His catalog, though, remains as relevant and influential as ever, so choosing his greatest songs was difficult.

We opened the parameters a bit, including songs that he wrote for other artists (Iggy Pop and Mott the Hoople); Tin Machine was fair game, as were remixes of his songs and so were collaborations. And as always, it was difficult to cut the list off at 40, so some of our favorites just missed the cut.

Metallica: America's Billion Dollar Band

Metallica is one of the most revered bands of all time with a catalog any up-and-coming band could only dream of having. It's impossible imagining the rock/metal landscape without them.

With this in mind, we did a deep dive on the mighty Metallica catalog focusing only on albums/EPs with new material (sorry, Garage Inc.) but excluding Lulu, their infamous 2011 collaboration with Lou Reed for obvious reasons (not sorry about that.)

Buckle in for a wild ride that will likely get very opinionated, because here is every Metallica song ranked from worst to best. Yeah-Yeah!
