Rock and Roll McDonalds

McDonalds is the place to rock
It is a restaurant where they buy food to eat
It is a good place to listen to the music
People flock here to get down to the rock music

McDonalds will make you fat
They serve Big Macs
They serve Quarter-Pounders
They will put pounds on you

McDonalds hamburgers are the worst
They are worse than Burger King
A Big Mac has 26 grams of fat
A Quarter-Pounder has 28 grams of fat

Ok, I know I'm a day late and a dollar short on this but oh well. I finally watched Super Size Me. I have so many movies in my Netflix queue and I'm constantly rearranging it. Super Size Me has been one of those movies that has been floating around towards the top for a long time and eventually made it to the top 3, then eventually in my mailbox, then sat on my dvd player for 2 more weeks, and finally was watched Sunday night.

I'm probably not going to say much here that hasn't already been said, but oh well again. Super Size Me made me laugh. It did not make me want to eat McDonalds any less because the truth is, I don't eat it all that often anyway. Extensive touring and having to eat that stuff everyday, and common sense have told me that eating that food everyday is not good. Just being on the road for a week I can remember how bad I would feel after eating like that everyday, then you combine the beer, and lack of sleep and you can imagine. I can think of times when Pete and I wanted to kill Eric when there was a choice between a diner or a Chinese Restaurant and he still wanted to eat McDonalds out of fear of there being nothing on the menu he would like. I'm getting off track here though. Basically I have no sympathy for those people that sue McDonalds because they eat McDonalds 2 or 3 times a day everyday and suddenly realise they are fat. If you didn't know that was going to happen you are stupid. If you fried burgers and potatoes at home everyday you would also get fat. So, like I said, this movie did not turn me off of McDonalds. If I feel like getting a Big Mac every once in a while then I still will.

Searching for the lyrics for Rock and Roll McDonalds I stumbled across this. http://www.monzy.org/wesley/ There is a blurry picture of yours truly and a little blurp about the band. The kid writing got the band name wrong and obviously was not a fan, but I was humored when I read it. That is how that whole tour went. Either the audience really loved us or really, really hated us and booed and chanted "Wesley!" There was no in between. I like it that way. For those situations we had a lot of fun rattling those Wesley freaks little heads and found ourselves getting noisier and noisier.

But that is in the past. In the present is Milk At Midnight and I am very happy at how things are going and want more and more and more! Listening to the WXRT capsule last night and hearing us being talked about was strange and exciting. My brain is ticking right now. I'm doing a lot of thinking about how I want to, and will, change my living and working situation so I can take this band all over the country. I want that more than anything right now. More to come on that I guess.
