WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
Not really sure what the song "Meatballs And Corn Stew" is about. Is it about meatballs and corn stew? I don't think so! It's definitely about a woman who seems to be a "woman of the world". By that, she seems like someone who holds your attention by speaking of her life's experiences. That could be totally wrong! Can't find the lyrics on the net so that's all I got!

MY THOUGHTS ON DRUGLORDS OF THE AVENUES:
Druglords Of The Avenues formed as a band back in 2004, hailing from Oakland, California. This is a side project of Johnny Bonnel, lead singer of longtime punk stalwarts Swingin' Utters. Though the Utters have been a loyal Fat Wreck band, Druglords Of The Avenues have spent their years on Red Scare Records. The band's debut album dropped in 2008, titled "Sing Songs". Five years later, the band released what would be their most recent full length album, "New Drugs". Their most recent release was a split with the band Death March. As I said earlier, Druglords Of The Avenues is a side project band for Swingin' Utters frontman Johnny Bonnel. In fact, he has another side project band called Filthy Thievin' Bastards as well. Their style is not much different from the Swingin' Utters. It's kinda like a street punk vibe. In 2020, the band actually posted a video of some new music being worked on through their Facebook page so hopefully, there's something in the works. But, Swingin' Utters is always Bonnel's main focus. Being a huge Utters fan, I knew of Druglords Of The Avenues right away. I mean, if you're a fan of the Swingin' Utters, then you would like this band as well. Great stuff for a side project!
