"Every other day of the week is fine, but whenever Monday comes, you can find me cryin' all of the time."
Oh, Mamas and the Papas, we couldn't agree with you more.
We know we "can't trust that day," but at least the thought of Stone Temple Pilots, Yo Gotti, Ookay, and other musicians of the ilk will put us at ease and help us get through this godforsaken day.
Here are the five best concerts going down in South Florida this week.

Fast forward a brief reunion tour, the release of STP's self-titled sixth studio album, a "short break," some drama involving the ousting and replacement of Weiland, and bam: you've got the Stone Temple Pilots with Chester Bennington.
