Hate is push-button easy these days. And the mask mandate, that somebody named Polis living in the governor’s mansion in Colorado keeps extending, is proof of this. First, here’s why a mask mandate is a form of hate. If you love your fellow human beings, are you gonna force them to breathe bad air? No. And if you love your fellow human beings, do … The rest of the story…

Freedom is a right. That should be self-evident (as somebody once wrote). But apparently, for a lot of knuckleheads, that information just can’t make it past the knuckles in those heads. So, they toss freedoms out just like they toss their fast-food trash out their car windows. And that means freedom is a right you gotta fight for. Uh-oh…did I just end a sentence … The rest of the story…
Horse songs tend to have catchy rhythms. I guess it’s because of the hoofbeats. *rimshot* Thanks folks. I’ll be here all week. Be sure to tip your bartender and waitresses. Yes, I said waitresses. Don’t git yer stirrups all tangled up, pawtnuh. So, here’s the reason I brung up horse songs. Yesterday, Elgielene and I watched a video of Kristi Noem speaking. Regardless of … The rest of the story…
Opinions count. Not all of them, of course. But the ones that are tantamount to truth…those count. And, sadly, there are fewer and fewer of those kinds. Because there’s an assault on truth the likes of which America has never seen before. And people who are in rebellion against God attempt to blur facts and figures as often as they stir the synthetic cream … The rest of the story…
Even in this ridiculous and weird time in history, dreams come true. Not all. But enough of them that it still counts when somebody says “if you work hard, you can still achieve your dreams.” But right now you might be making someone else’s dreams come true. And that’s OK if you’re serving your fellow man. Because when you serve your fellow man, you … The rest of the story…
I remember studying America’s founding documents when I was in school way back in the twentieth century. And I remember something called the “Bill of Rights.” It must’ve been a big deal. Because teachers and politicians always talked about the freedoms it “gave” all Americans. And one of those was the freedom to assemble. Something about people freely getting together…even if it was to … The rest of the story…
Check out this list of synonyms. Publicity, advertising, promotion, marketing, puff, puffery, propaganda, exposure; boost, push, fanfare, buildup; informal plug, plugging, razzmatazz, and ballyhoo. And I shared them with you because they’re all synonymous with moronic politicians. Because they want you to believe the hype that the world, as we know it, is gonna end in just a few years. And it’s all your fault. … The rest of the story…
I’ve mentioned it before. But way, way back in 1981-82 I was a drummer and singer in a popular band in Atlanta, Georgia. And we did a fairly wide variety of music. From country, to top 40, easy listening, and what would now be called “classic rock.” And I remember our first night debut, in a favorite locals hangout in the northern section of … The rest of the story…
This Magic Moment, a song written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, was a big hit for Ben E. King and the Drifters back in 1960. And I’ll bet they had no idea they actually created one of the billions of micro moments where certain demographics spend their time.  Yeah, I’m gonna call short, catchy songs what they are. Micro moments. When you … The rest of the story…
“Get a haircut you longhair hippie.” If I had a dime for every time I heard that when I was full-time in the music business. No, just kidding. Sort of. Because I didn’t hear that a lot, oddly enough. A lot of guys did, back in the day. But at least back then it wasn’t a crime if you didn’t get your hair cut…or … The rest of the story…
