The song "Revolving Doors" from my last album is unexpectedly picking up steam with plays, so I decided to make a music video for it. One never really knows for sure which songs will resonate. I recommend headphones because the left-right shaker panning is trippy. youtu.be/HB8wjCtkHuY?...

Unlike countries like China where you get punished for it, one thing that makes America great is that we can publicly make fun of politicians, the government, and large corporations here. Colbert, Kimmel, who's next? South Park? SNL? They're not inciting violence, they're inciting laughter.

My friend who struggled to understand the election outcome concluded that Trump voters are "not very smart" and are "easily manipulated," which was oversimplified but the best explanation I've heard, until I read this historical perspective: chrishedges.substack.com/p/the-rule-o...
