Last Friday, while having dinner at a local steakhouse with some friends, I ordered the fillet mignon. This was not large one, but the smallest portion that they offer. It has probably been 3 years since I have had a cut of beef other than a hamburger. This cut was about 3 inches round and about 1 ¾ inches thick. Let me say that it tasted fantastic. The fillet cut like butter and melted in my mouth. After the meal, I immediately became extremely sleepy which is very unusual for me. This is even more unusual for me because it was a Friday night. A prime night for fun. All I could think about was getting home to my bed. I didn't even have a cocktail with my meal. I was thinking, “What is going on here?”. It was like my body said, “We need to shut you down to take care of this load you just fed us. Closed until morning.” I woke the next morning somewhat normal again.
This got me thinking. I know this is from the stupid beef that I ate. Why did I eat that? In fact, why am I eating any meat? Meat is one of the most wasteful, environmental unfriendly things on the planet. Producing a pound of beef takes 2500 gallons of water and 18 pounds of grain. I am wasting all of these resources so that I can get heart disease, cancer or a million other diseases for eating this junk. Resources that could be feeding hungry people that really need food. It makes as much sense as smoking cigarettes.
Its time for a change... More to come..

I was just looking the Top Ten from 10 years ago, just to see what songs I remember, and the songs I liked. I supposed if I don't remember the song, it wasn't worth remembering. Some of these songs, I need to remember to forget, because they were that bad. I have not listened to any of these recently, and I am trying to recall from memory.
Here are songs, along with my 2 cents. 
- Breathe, Faith Hill-Sappy chick song.
- Smooth, Santana Featuring Rob Thomas. Great song written by Rob Thomas, but Santana's mediocre guitar noodling kind of ruins it for me. Where's the switch to turn off the guitar playing?
- Say My Name, Destiny's Child- How did this one go? One of the many gospel groups to go mainstream to worhship their new God, money!
- I Wanna Know, Joe- Does anyone know who or what song this is?
- Everything You Want, Vertical Horizon-I actually liked this one. Kind of Poppy.
- Maria Maria, Santana Featuring The Product G&B- More bad Santana guitar playing. Argh...
- Bent, Matchbox Twenty- I Like Matchbox 20, but this is not one of their best.
- Amazed, Lonestar- Liked this one.
- I Knew I Loved You, Savage Garden- I like Savage Garden, but don't remember how this one goes.
- He Wasn't Man Enough, Toni Braxton-No Idea, apparently I am not man enough either.
- Higher, Creed- This is their best song. 2nd best song on the list.
- Try Again, Aaliyah- No clue.
- There You Go, Pink- I like P!nk, but don't remember this one.
- Thong Song, Sisqo- OMG- I must remember to forget this one. The video is burned in my mind.
- Kryptonite, 3 Doors Down-Awesome song, the best on this list.
- Jumpin', Jumpin', Destiny's Child-Another one by a big name act, that I don't have a clue.
- What a Girl Wants, Christina Aguilera- I actually remember this one. Maybe because Aguilera is super hot!
- Doesn't Really Matter, Janet- This song doesn't matter either. More waredrobe malfunctions, please!
- Music, Madonna-Madonna, you haven't done anything good in over 10 years. Time to retire.
- Back At One, Brian McKnight- I faintly remember this one, I think I liked it, but I am not sure. I think this guy dropped off the face of the earth.

Happy Spring! Well, its been a while since my last post. I would like to get some info out to all of our Dirt Cheap!!! peeps, that check our website regularly. School (college) will be out in a couple of weeks, and I plan to focus on some good new cover material for the band, during the break. The last break (Christmas) went great for us and we picked up many new Top 40 songs to get the crowd pumpin. I have about 3 weeks before the summer semester starts up, which will give us some rehearse time, and maybe some time in the studio (I hope). I haven't been listening to any Top 40 radio lately, so if anyone has some suggestions for some NEW dance music, leave us a comment, and I will give it a listen. Don't forget to check us out on May 1st at Friends.... See you there.....
