I laugh (mostly to myself) when people say something like “Must be nice to get paid even when you don’t work.” Or something to that effect. And I got that kind of ignorant comment, a lot, back in my full time traveling musician days. I think my favorite one was a guy who saw me lying by a hotel pool. … The rest of the story…

A so-called M.D. made another ridiculous post on LinkedIn. Remember, as I mentioned before, this is supposed to be a business “social” network. So, these kinds of posts illustrate some of the ginormous damage done to Americans through government education. And that damage done leads to much worse damage. And the consequences are eternal. So, you can bet your Creator … The rest of the story…
While I was doing some work this morning, online, I discovered some great nuggets of Hillbilly wisdom. At first I was gonna share which ones were my favorites. But, heck, I like ’em all. And the picture that went along with the text is a big part of what made me read through. Because it was an old guy with … The rest of the story…
It’s funny (odd, not humorous) what you can stumble upon, or across, when you do an online search. For example, I wanted to share some sad information today, and I had an idea for a different way to do it. So, I typed in my search phrase. And most of the results I found were about a Japanese manga series … The rest of the story…
If we could just change the heart of one gun, wouldn’t a total assault rifle ban be worth it? And, NO, that sentence doesn’t NOT contain a missing word typo. Yeah, an assault rifle ban is definitely the cure for deadly shootings. Because “woke” people say so. And if THEY say so, then it’s got to be so. Like this … The rest of the story…
I read (and thoroughly enjoyed) this quote from a page full of so-called “stupidity quotes.” It’s from the English author and humorist, P.G. Wodehouse, who lived from 1881 to 1975. And he wrote, “He had just about enough intelligence to open his mouth when he wanted to eat, but certainly no more.” Stupidity quotes, like that, are everywhere. Especially from “woke” … The rest of the story…
I just watched a video about wolves re-introduced into Yellowstone (The park. Not the show.) And the video producers showed how much those wolves changed the ecosystem. Yes, nature is amazing. And connected. But here’s how the person who shared the video described it… “🦩Ecosystem restoration hinges on supporting nature 🍁create a balance⚖️; biodiversity richness and ecological integrity With more … The rest of the story…
It was rainy day in Colorado. Just about this time of year, it was a cool mid-spring rain. But then the sun came out. And you should’ve seen the vivid full spectrum rainbow that popped out. That happens a lot in Colorado. What colors are in a full spectrum rainbow? Violet. Indigo. Blue. Green. Yellow. Orange. Red. And the seven colors are typically listed from the … The rest of the story…
For those who are loved and appreciated, mothers live on far past their time here on Earth. Today, May 8, 2022, marks the second Mother’s Day without my own mom to call. She died about 90 days before last year’s Mother’s Day. But she lives on in the memories of those of us who love her. I’m sure your mothers … The rest of the story…
I read an article on LinkedIn that was so incredibly stupid. And part of the stupidity is how the article was high in the feed of a platform (supposedly) focused on business. Why was the article stupid? Because it glorified black men. And that’s a huge part of the problem with so-called “social justice warriors.” They do what the claim … The rest of the story…
“For you put up with fools gladly, since you yourselves are wise! For you put up with it if one brings you into bondage, if one devours you, if one takes from you, if one exalts himself, if one strikes you on the face” Wow! Talk about a timely quote. William Shakespeare really knew what he was talking about, didn’t … The rest of the story…
According to search engines, a significant amount of people look for a brainpower definition online. And the online Merriam-Webster dictionary defines brainpower like this: 1. intellectual ability 2. people with developed intellectual ability Yeah, I’d say that’s pretty accurate. But I’d go further with a brainpower definition like this: Someone who can move 20 ton blocks with his … The rest of the story…
I just read where Paul McCartney was fined £100 ($170) because he planted cannabis seeds and grew cannabis on his farm in Campbeltown, Scotland. That happened 49 years ago today, March 7. His “excuse” was that he got the seeds from some fans. And he didn’t know what they would grow. In an interview, after the trial, he said, “Well, we got … The rest of the story…
I watched a video, yesterday, of a couple who were enjoying a walk through Clifton, Colorado. It’s more or less an extension of Grand Junction. And it sits between that city and Palisade, Colorado. (side note: if you’ve never had Palisade peaches, your life is not complete) The couple videoed the view as they talked about what they were enjoying … The rest of the story…
When the going gets tough…you know the rest. Right? Yeah, the tough are nowhere to be found. Just kidding (mostly). When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Once upon a time there was this world. And it was good. And beautiful. Pure. But fast forward about 6,000 years…and we have THIS world. And it’s not so good. It’s … The rest of the story…
I’m not a fan of Ukraine. Or any other country in the world, at this time, for that matter. But I read a short article about how Ukrainian music is being used to pump up the people. And I listened to a couple of clips. The Ukrainian music I heard certainly sounded strong. I don’t know what the words said. … The rest of the story…
You know what I’d like to see? Everybody has to work for free and everything is free. Wouldn’t that solve a lot of problems? Or maybe all of them? Or should it be just the goofy singer songwriters and other artists who should work for free? Call me crazy (yeah, crazy like a porcupine), but that doesn’t seem balanced, fair, equitable, … The rest of the story…
World peace doesn’t happen because of touchy feely laws. History proves this over and over again. It doesn’t happen by taking away a person’s right to self protection. It doesn’t happen because somebody imprisons all those who disagree. And it sure doesn’t happen because some so-called “body of power” legislates it. World peace can only happen one of two ways. … The rest of the story…
Dangerous times are bad enough. But dangerous times with no moral compass are exponentially worse. Even though my wife and I never had kids we’ve always loved them. And we always get a kick out of their imaginative outlook on life. In fact, that’s why I’ve created music and books and pictures and videos for kids. I want them to … The rest of the story…
If you’ve followed my articles and/or listened to my podcast episodes for a while, you might be surprised at some of the songs you’d find on my like list. And a great example of this would be “Dead Man’s Party” by Oingo Boingo. Here’s an excerpt of the lyrics… “I was struck by lighting, walkin’ down the street.I was hit … The rest of the story…
