the followup to the followup


Metallica has finally released the track list to their newest album. On said playlist, we are informed there will be a followup song to a followup song called "The Unforgiven III". I'm leaving out my cleaver musings about the meaning of this. However, it does call the question "what needs a completely unnecessary sequel to a sequel?" Perhaps Metallica will produce a mindblowing epic of such legendary proportions that we'll all stand in awe ...or just shrug and think about Steve Miller's often maligned and misunderstood 80's offerings.

Perhaps write an ode to the passing of time and decay. Actually, skip that part and go straight to the third part of your trilogy (yes we know it was always planned from the beginning).
