Rolling Stone Goes Metal

There are plenty of folks -- Ted Nugent chief among 'em -- who'd like folks to believe that nothing says rock 'n' roll quite like a cocked and loaded firearm. But despite our general faith in the precepts of Isaac Newton, we never thought we'd see an equal and opposite reaction to that idea -- until Bill Wyman came along peddling his spankin'-new, handy-dandy metal detector.

While our initial reaction was excitement that the two geezers would somehow cancel each other out in some sort of universe-cleansing clash of the titans, it turns out that the now moss-covered former Rolling Stone is aiming his detector at people seeking out buried treasures -- or, at the very least, cans that might be unearthed to fetch five cents in deposit money.

Somehow, we're sure that distinction will come as a comfort to Snoop Dogg -- unless, of course, he has a nine-millimeter tucked under the sand at the end of Long Beach Pier.
