"He was about to introduce Kasim, when Meat heard this gal in front of the stage say, as he repeated, that Kasim was hot. Meat, very skeptical look on his face, looked back and forth between Kasim and the gal. Kasim was beaming, bowed to her, and said thank you. Finally, Meat said, full of indignant emotion, “there is only one hot person on this stage, and it isn’t Kasim!”"

"While Poughkeepsie isn’t considered a major large city compared to Cleveland or Orlando, and while this auditorium holds around 3500, there are a lot of ardent Meat fans in upstate NY and nearby who do not belong to fan clubs and/or belong but never use the forums. They were all there -- the baby boomers and the kids. Meat’s message is out there, and the kids were there to continue it."
