Memories
You know, it's funny what a young man recollects. 'Cause I don't remember being born. I don't recall what I got for my first Christmas and I don't know when I went on my first outdoor picnic. Oh wait,...
I Don't Listen to Rap
I don't listen to rap. I used to. In the '90's I listened to Tupac, Snoop, Tha Dogg Pound, etc. That time has come and gone. I still will listen to rap from the 1990's. It was a good era, in my opinio...

Sammy Hagar is a Tool
St. Louis has always been a strong supporter of Sammy Hagar. His shows sell out here whenever he plays, the radio stations have always been friendly to him, and I'm sure he's sold a great deal of reco...
New Music
I need some new music. I've gotten CunninLynguists' Dirty Acres album, but I've had that for a while now. It's definitely a great album, and I listen to it all the time, but that's the problem. I need...

A Lifetime Goal
