Soooo, what kind of breaking news is so urgent it can't possibly wait until the end of a long holiday weekend? That's right: Lars Ulrich and Connie Nielsen had a baby. Uh, last Monday. As you know, Lars is the drummer for Metallica, and Connie has been in films like Gladiator and Brothers, and shows like Law & Order: SVU. And here's a fun internet fact: both are Danish-born. The things you can learn with a simple Google search!
They decided to name the baby boy Napster. Or Bryce Thadeus Ulrich-Nielsen. One or the other, because I hear "Metallica" as a kid's name was just too popular. (Who wants to be known as "Metallica N." in class?) The littlest addition joins a family of boys: Nielsen's son, Sebastian, from a previous relationship, and Ulrich's two sons, Myles and Layne, from his marriage to Skylar
Satenstein.
Now back in the early '90s I had this speedfreak roommate who loved Metallica, and she played their self-titled album non-stop in her room at high volume twenty-four hours a day. I know all the lyrics to all the songs, and not on purpose. I understand that's not your fault, Lars, but if this little one isn't a such a good sleeper, I'm going to have to work hard to lather up some sympathy. Enter sandman, heh heh...
