He and I are connected on the social media channel, X. The “he,” of which I speak, is Bryan Duncan. And, for those of you who aren’t aware (or just don’t care) X is the platform that used to be called Twitter. But Elon Musk bought the platform. And he likes to add the X label to his businesses, so there you go. X. … The rest of the story…
Here’s a snippet of one of those songwriter stories I get a big kick out of. It’s about Cindy Walker. What?! You never heard of her? Somebody oughta bing your noggin. Check this out. In 1940, Cindy Walker, at the age of 22, accompanied her parents on a business trip to Los Angeles. As they were driving down Sunset Boulevard she asked her father … The rest of the story…
I remember taking the Boy Scout oath way, way back in the 20th century. It’s kinda like the oath of office you’ll see Trump take in January. It was the one that started out with “on my honor.” It’s WAY different than what you’ll see young boys interested in these days. It says: “On my honor, I will do my best to do my … The rest of the story…
The vast majority of American people sure have a lot of socialist beliefs. And the saddest part of that claim is that most of them would argue that it’s just not true. I’m not gonna say that Wikipedia is a completely trustworthy source of truth. But here’s a snippet of what I found there. “The United States spends approximately $2.3 trillion on federal and … The rest of the story…
Have you ever heard about a book that wrote itself? Or a website, with tons of pages, that just suddenly popped into existence all by itself? Yeah, no. You haven’t. And we can take that up a few trillion notches. Where was a child ever born without the key ingredients from the mother and father? Nowhere. That’s where. Because information, design, and life are … The rest of the story…
It’s up to YOU to comfort each other. Fortunately there are some of us who need less of it than others. And that means the responsibility is more ours than those who might be, let’s say, a little weaker. My dog made me think of how we should comfort each other. I wrote about this seven years ago, around this time of year, when … The rest of the story…
Your life is the only one you’re gonna get. And I know that you know it’s not about the skin you’re in. You know it’s the spirit and soul of you. So, I’m preaching to the choir. But if you’ve lived more than twenty years, I’m sure you’ve thought about your life and what it means. And you’ve realized that somewhere inside you is … The rest of the story…
It’s so cool how fast little kids learn to talk. You’re so young when you start talking that your parents have to tell you about your first words. My mom told me I spoke way before I was a year old. But you know how moms are. And I’m more the strong, silent type. So, I tend to believe I waited till I had … The rest of the story…
I’ve shared, a few times here on TonyFunderburk.com, how music can be good for your brain. And I’ve also talked about how music is good for heart healing. Like when I shared this info from a heart healing article: It said, “a study from Wisconsin evaluated 45 patients who had suffered heart attacks within the previous 72 hours.” I didn’t see a link to … The rest of the story…
Choices choices. In this so-called “land of the free,” today, the highest office of government comes down to voting for one of two people (at least if you prefer to vote for someone who could actually “win” the election). An immoral moron. And a lukewarm patriot. Yeah, choices choices. Here’s an article I wrote, years ago, about where voting has taken our beautiful country. … The rest of the story…
