Tick Tock, You Don't Stop...
I like to sleep. Many that know me already know this. I like to sleep. I'm definitely more of a "night-person" who hits the snooze button every chance I get until the last possible moment when I have to get up to get ready for work (that's called the drop-dead time). I set my alarm for about 45 minutes earlier than the drop-dead time in order to wake myself up slowly and not oversleep. In theory this works.
Another thing I do to ensure that I wake up on time is to set my alarm clock to 92.3 Hot Jamz/the Beat/whatever it's called now. Because there is nothing better than to wake up to funk/r&b in the morning. It could be Rick James one day, Beyonce the next. And it usually sticks in my head throughout the day, unlike NPR or some other talk radio station.
However, this morning, I was gently awoken by the soothing voices of Color Me Badd. Yes. That's what I said. Color Me Badd. Now, I did enjoy them when they first came out with their songs. I admit it. Heck, I even used to watch their "racy" videos of them sexing it up on the beach. Now, it's just kind of funny, and a little sad too. So, in light of their airplay and extra residuals that they shall receive because of my morning alarm, I thought I'd see what the four are up to now.
Bryan Abrams (aka the "guy that looks like Snow" guy)
Apparently, Abrams has been filming a new VH1 show called "Man Band" with a few other guys that were in boy bands. One guy from 98degrees, one guy from *NSync, one guy from LFO, and him.
Kevin Thornton (aka the "guy with the dreads" guy)
Mr Thornton has his own solo album, comprised of "contemporary hip hop/rap material with gospel and soul music", according to the almighty Wikipedia. Maybe he and Michelle Williams of Destiny's Child can get together and record a Gospel Christmas record.
Mark Calderon (aka the "guy that looks like George Michael & who sings to us in Spanish" guy)
He apparently gave up the spotlights and microphone for applications and estimates. Calderon now works for an insurance company in Ohio.
Sam Watters (aka the "guy who looks like Kenny G" guy)
He's actually been the most successful (if you look at it that way). After the band broke up, he went on to produce records for others. Apparently, he's worked with the likes of Jessica Simpson and Fantasia. And, the more amazing thing: He married Tamyra Gray! From American Idol! Not bad, Kenny G! Good for you!
So there you have it. An update on a band that was less popular than New Kids on the Block, yet more popular than O-Town.
"Please be my wife......SUG-ah!" That's right, in my head the whole rest of the day!!!
