Once upon a time
Before the printing press destroyed our brains
People memorized whole books
They'd gather, each telling a part of the story
Active participants
In the telling of the story
Today
Disney bought all the stories
They decide how they're told
And who gets to participate
In the telling of the story
Good news!
You get to participate!
With your $ š¤
Otherwise, just keep your mouth shut
Entitled toxic fanbaby š¤
For most of human history
We were all involved
In the telling of the story
For the tiniest little window
That was stolen from us
But the window is closing
Minecraft children won't suffer this
They demand and expect
To be actively involved
In the telling of the story

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Welcome to the quarter century mark. That sure went by fast. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas - THAt sure went by fast! And now here we are in the new calendar year.
My distributor informed me a few days before Christmas that they were shutting shop for a few weeks, so Iād not be able to get any new releases out until January 18th, which put a lil crimp in our NEW MUSIC EVERY FRIDAY scheduleā¦And it occurred to me whilst under the barbell in the gym on New Years Eve, which is where all my best ideas occur to me, to make you a special mix for the New Year. So I did. And that mix is now live for you to enjoy.
GO!

To understand what it means
To lose your freedomā¦ā

I met Rossā mother, Lyn, late last year, when I was in Miami to perform my Ayn Rand EP (https://go.meaningwave.com/ANTHEM) at the Atlas Society gala. The World renowned āPimp On A Blimpā Alex Stein very sweetly invited me to a party being hosted by Tim Pool, where I had a lovely time and met a number of fascinating people, and late in the night I was introduced to Lyn. ...
āYou can't pursue happiness
You could pursue a wild animal
You could pursue a ball
That's rolling downhill
You could pursue a car
You could pursue a dog
Because those are all real
But happiness you can't pursue
You could end up happy
But you can't pursue happiness
There are two things
You can pursue
That'll get you thereā¦ā
