1. In form, this is a bragging been-around-the-block number in the mold of Bo Diddley's "I've Seen Them All," Merle Haggard's "I've Done it All," or "I've Been Everywhere," which was written by Geoff Mack and made popular by Lucky Starr, Hank Snow, and Johnny Cash. I'm not 100% confident that every one is a real place, and I'm not going to check, although my readers will, for which I thank them in advance...

2. Yes, this is a thing, and it's exactly what it sounds like, a heavy metal church service. Big in Finland--where else (in Denmark it would have to be dedicated to Satan, I presume)?

Thanks to Martin for this information; I have not, in this case, seen them come...

Note that it sounds like "Middle Mass"...
