I Finally Respect the King

Add comment November 11th, 2007

Now I’ve never much been a fan of the longtime silver medalist, Burger King. At all times during the day I would much rather grab a McD’s or a tasty Culver’s instead. This all changed when after viewing a life-changing commercial I decided to break my self-imposed boycott of BK. This commercial depicted three innocent soccer mom’s finding themselves reduced to having to plead for the King’s blood to be shed. What I said might’ve just shocked you, but let me reiterate. They wanted the King DEAD!! Now you may be thinking, “What could possibly drive a human to such action?”. I’ll tell you. It was Burger King’s newly released, Double Bacon Homestyle Melt. Holy something - this thing is delicious. I’m not joking with you right now. I realize this article is called, “The Music Scene”, but allow me to validate this topic. I feel with 100% of my being that in 2 years time the Billboard Top 10 List will be peppered with songs titled something like, “You’re not my Homestyle”, “I Can’t Help but Melt in Your Arms”, and quite possibly, “I Love Homestyle Melts”. You might also be asking yourself, “Is this guy losing it?”. Maybe. BUT - discover for yourself what lies in between those two slices of glorious buttered bread.  Ok, on to more musical matters. There is a new acoustic artist from Rockford who is establishing a presence on Myspace. His name is Mike Honson (www.myspace.com/mikehonsonmusic). He is recording some new stuff and I think people will really get in to his sound. I don’t know Mike very well but I’ve gotten a chance to have some dialogue with him and I like what he’s about and where he’s coming from. He’s young and new - but think of this - it’ll give people a chance to see just how a young artist develops. Check him out. Thanks.
