We’ve reached a point where the party has learned it can win without moral coherence. As long as the fear is "electorally efficient," the hypocrisy will continue.
It’s time to stop calling it a "value system" and start calling it a branding exercise.

History shows a pattern: Economic shock → Identity anxiety → Political scapegoating. The GOP has mastered this play, even when it directly contradicts the "Love thy neighbor" ethics they claim to represent.
The sheer absurdity of modern populism: We are currently being told to fear "elites" by billionaires, and to fear "outsiders" by people whose ancestors were the "threatening outsiders" just three generations ago.
The amnesia is breathtaking. 🌀

From the patched pants to the second-hand threads, the song looks at what we own vs. what owns us.

"Golden Brown" isn't just about the kitchen; it's about being a "routine slave". It’s the feeling of doing time while sitting in a cubicle or standing behind a counter.

Ever feel like you’re being breaded and fried by your 9-to-5? We’ve turned the corporate kitchen into a song. Listen to the sound of the machine. #WageSlave #IndieMusic

Just pay the bills, and buy new stuff just like the TV says.
Why does the "American Dream" often feel like a script we didn't write?

I must tell you that the more things change, the more they do not change at all. Reps and Dems, you say? Back in the day, they were called 'Gilded Age Gentry' and 'Dandy Democrats.' Neither of them were worth a plugged nickel.

"Republicans and Democrats, I’m not sure just where we’re at / But they’ both like the campaign money." Politics has become a business, and we’re the ones paying the tab.

It’s easy to feel 'diverse' and 'cultural' when you’re just scrolling through other people's lives on the couch. The real challenge is actually getting up, trying something uncomfortable, and discovering who you are when you're not just a passive consumer.
They tell you to "reach for the stars" while paying you minimum wage. The math doesn't add up, but the grind never stops. "Golden Brown" is the anthem for the second shift. #GoldenBrown #WageSlave #NewMusic

To truly lead the State, the Republic requires a diversity of interests, not a binary shackle that ensures the Merchant and the Laborer remain equally unheard. Liberty demands a broader vista than a two-sided coin.

The bottom line?
The GOP has traded the "Great Commandment" for the "Great Scapegoat." It’s not a religion; it’s a demographic defense mechanism disguised as a church service.

It’s peak absurdity to claim you’re protecting "traditional values" while actively demonizing the very groups (the poor, the immigrant, the marginalized) that your central religious figure explicitly told you to protect.

Growing up in the 80s, we were sold a dream. They called it "Supply Side." They told us that if the people at the very top did well, we’d all eventually get a piece of the pie.

This soundtrack-ready rock song uses minimalist influences.

Pool waves were the starting point. Four rounds of color, crop, and collage built the foundation for this video's tracks. See how simple footage became manipulated art:

I am proud to say that I have completed my first film score. The film is still in post production, so no premiers yet. In the meantime, you can check out the ending credits song, "Imaginary Gun Fight" on Soundcloud.

Same pyramid, different decade. We’re still waiting for the "trickle" while the top gets a fountain. "Where Were At" is the soundtrack for the rest of us.

If we are to save the soul of this nation, we might start by realizing that a man who uses a Bible as a prop usually hasn’t spent much time reading the contents.
In Washington, the only thing more sacred than the Scripture is the Secret.
