Alright Rat Rock Nation, Christmas is just around the corner but we don’t want this Santa coming down our chimney. This nutjob named Henry Meade who is 40 years old from a small town in northern Tennessee. He decided to drive a lawn mower with kids on the back part of the town’s Christmas Parade. It was even called Santa’s Train and doesn’t that sound nice.

Santa’s Train Went To Bad Santa.
A couple of witnesses did notice something off with Henry, and his Santa’s Train. He was driving all over the place and was just not right in the head. The locals around the parade did call the police to get this guy checked out. When the police questioned him and got some test done their suspicion was right. Good Old Saint Henry was unsteady on his feet, and even failed a sobriety test.

When police searched him they found a syringe, meth, and other drugs on this nutjob. No doubt he was taken to police headquarters and charged with all types of stuff like DUI, possession of methamphetamine, and a bunch of other drug charges. Henry will be sayin HO HO HO in jail sounds like.
No Kids Were Hurt From Meth Head Santa.
Thank the Lord no children were not hurt from this guy. Although I’m sure it was really scary to have your kids on the back of his lawn mower and driving around like that. The mayor of the town did put a statement that it is not the town’s fault and did not hire Henry.

Christmas Songs: 25 Hard Rock/Metal/Punk Tunes To Help Deck the Halls
Now that it’s finally December, it’s time to fully embrace Christmas songs. (Sure, some may have started long ago, but many like to wait until Thanksgiving is in the rearview.)
There are a surprising number of rock and roll Christmas songs. Many rockin’ holiday tunes tend to be covers, but many artists have tried to pen the next Christmas classic. If they don’t end up classics, they are often at least a lot of fun.
One of those songs is “The Magic of Christmas Day.” The song was written by Twisted Sister singer Dee Snider, but it was made famous when it was recorded by Celine Dion. Snider wrote the song at the request of his wife, Suzette. The song got into the hands of producer Ric Wake, a friend of Snider’s, who thought the song had massive potential.
Snider said in a Dec. 2020 interview in Ultimate Classic Rock that about five years after writing the song for his wife, he got a fateful call from Wake. The producer let him know that Celine Dion wanted to record the song.
It was perfect timing for Snider. He said was “broke and struggling” at the time he learned the pop icon decided to record his song. Considering Dion’s star power, Snider was thrilled she wanted to record the song at all. His big concern was making sure she didn’t know he was the one to write the song.
“I said, ‘Do not tell her that Satan wrote her Christmas song. Just put it on the f—in’ album,'” said Snider. (Fun fact: Due to the song’s success and the revenue it produced, Snider refers to her as “Saint Celine.”
To help fully get into the holiday spirit, consider adding these 25 songs to your Christmas playlist. They vary in subgenre from hard rock to metal to punk. Enjoy!
