50 Times Celebrities Made Cameos in Music Videos
If, as an artist, you play your cards right, making a memorable music video can help take a song from unassuming to ultimate hit. There are a lot of ways to do this, one of them being the inclusion of a famous face. Featuring a celebrity, often an actor or model, is an awfully effective way to get listeners to make note of a song — sometimes it's what people remember seeing more than what they remember hearing.
How Many of These Objects From the ’70s Can You Identify?
In a world where everything's constantly evolving, it's no surprise to find yourself giving a look of utter disbelief when someone younger than you holds up an object and asks, "What in the world is this thing?" The '70s Was a Time of Change - BIG Change. In the '70s...
How Long Can You Leave Your Cat Home Alone?
In a conversation with a co-worker about pet ownership, we touched on the usual hurdles like vacations. He remarked, "I wish I had a cat — you can leave them alone longer than a dog." That got me thinking... How Long Can You Leave a Cat Home Alone?. Some...

Have Breakfast at the Northern Pacific Beanery in Livingston, Montana
I spent last weekend in Gallatin County for the Fusion Fight League matches in Bozeman. The event was well received and the Fight for a Cause was heartwarming. The motel stay in nearby Livingston was awful. Will write about that later. The next morning, on only four hours sleep, I...
From Ignorance To Awareness: The Urgent Call To Confront
There is an old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. Maybe that's why the major news media outlets and publications in America are refusing to show you the horrible graphic scenes from that dreadful day when the terrorist group Hamas attacked and brutalized the Jewish population of Israel.
Volley Fest
When you drive by Metrapark and see that there is no place to park in the upper or lower lots or the carnival grounds and wonder what event is happening, it's Billings Volley Fest. And it's not just at the Metra. Fourteen of the courts are at Metra but there...
UM Griz Football Scores Record-Setting Marrow Registration Drive
Off the field, the expectations for a successful drive were high, just like they will be on the field in 2024.

Who has the best steak in Butte?
Here in Montana, we are definitely in the heart of beef country and with that comes a certain quality. A quality you take for granted. There have been a couple of instances where I have had the good fortune of visiting a couple of higher-end steakhouses in big cities and have usually walked away thinking "it's good, but not as good as back home". Now I'm not saying by any means that these weren't delicious steaks. I'm just saying that some of the best steaks in the world can be found right here in Butte. Here are a few places that I believe have the best steaks in town. In fact, I'll put any one of these four places up against anyone in the world.

Montana’s Highest Peak Named Second Most Dangerous to Climb
BUTTE, MT - Would you ever climb a 13,000 foot cliff?. Even if you're an experienced climber, the answer would probably be a resounding "heck no," and I wouldn't blame you. I have some experience climbing, mostly indoors in a safe, cushiony environment, so I've made some climbing friends who have told me stories out in the outskirts of Montana wildernesses—and even they wouldn't touch Montana's second highest peak (10th in the United States).
Got Pavement? The Story of Montana’s First Paved Road

Billings Parking Garage Not Designed for Large Pickups
Work as a radio producer is similar in nature to other jobs: duties, responsibilities, stressors, perks. One unique perk to the very early morning is the commute. Mine is among the very few cars on the roads. Streets are mostly empty. A peaceful 15-20 minute drive in the dark. The only traffic hazards are the occasional deer and rabbit.
