RIP David Allan Coe - Spent so much time with David over the years, touring, writing songs and just hanging out. I knew a side of Dave most people never got to see. He was such a deep thinker, kind and about as real as an outlaw can get! He did not give a damn what anyone thought of him. Always loved this cover of 'Only God Knows Why' he recorded on his tour bus. He also wrote 'Single Father' for me after spending a few days at my Ortonville MI home YEARS ago with me and my son. I still have piles of songs I need to dig up we wrote together. Rock on David. Love ya brotha.

This video breaks my heart.
Kids used to walk home from school.
Without fear. Without phones. Without trackers.
They walked to the grocery store and carried groceries home.
Rode bikes and played.
They left in the morning and came home when the streetlights came on.
Nobody called. Nobody texted. Nobody pinged a location.
Mom knew they were alive because they walked in the door starving at 6PM.
They built forts out of scrap wood in the woods behind the house.
They dug holes.
They climbed trees.
They fell out of trees.
They got stitches and learned something.
They played baseball in the cul-de-sac until somebody broke a window. Then they ran. Then they came back and knocked on the door. Then they worked it off mowing the neighbor's lawn.
They walked to the corner store with a dollar. Bought a Coke, a bag of chips, and a pack of baseball cards.
They knew every neighbor on the block.
The mean one.
The nice one.
The one who baked.
The one whose porch you didn't cut across.
They had paper routes at 10.
They babysat at 12.
They worked summers at 14.
They bought their first car with their own money at 16.
They read books.
They wrote letters (in cursive!!!)
They memorized phone numbers.
They knew how to read a map.
They were bored sometimes, maybe even bored a lot, actually.
And out of that boredom came imagination, invention, mischief, and a whole life of knowing how to entertain themselves.
They ate dinner at a table.
With their family.
At the same time.
Every night.
Phones weren't there because phones were on the wall.
They watched 3 channels.
They watched them TOGETHER.
They argued about what to watch, and then they watched whatever Dad picked.
They went to church on Sunday.
They lost games and didn't get a trophy.
They failed tests and didn't get a retake.
They got cut from the team and went home and got better.
They had chores.
Mow the lawn.
Take out the trash.
Feed the dog.
Not for an allowance. Because they lived there.
They respected their teachers.
They stood when an adult walked in the room.
They said sir.
They said ma'am.
They meant it.
They had one best friend and five good ones and a whole neighborhood of kids who could knock on the door.
Not a thousand followers. Not a group chat.
A door.
They grew up.
And somewhere along the way, we decided all of that was unsafe.
So we took it away.
NEW: Tulsa, Oklahoma, has unveiled the state's first-ever "musical road" that plays "This Land is Your Land" when drivers drive over it.
The new feature can be experienced when drivers pass over the Southwest Boulevard Bridge.
The taxpayer price tag works out to about $5,800 per second of music, totaling $110,000.
Drivers are told to drive about 35 mph to get the proper experience.
The noise is produced by grooves in the pavement that create vibrations felt and heard in the car.
Cool.
🚨HOLY CRAP!!!
The Democrat Sheriff of Charlotte NC, Gary McFadden, was just completely unable to answer:
a) What the 3 branches of government are.
b) Which branch he serves under.
This is genuinely painful to watch... completely shocking.
"You’re worried about numbers. I’m worried about the deaths of Americans." @CMDROpAtLargeCA
The American lives saved by removing criminal illegal aliens from Minneapolis and across the country can’t be measured.
President Trump and Secretary Noem are committed to keeping Americans SAFE.
ICYMI 🇺🇸 @250Freedom_ turned the Washington Monument into the world's tallest birthday candle to kick off America's 250th birthday!
Here's to 250 years of freedom, faith, and the fight to keep it. 🎆

In 1977, Bing Crosby and David Bowie delivered one of the most beautiful duets of all time. It was Crosby’s final Christmas special.

Oh my God!!!! Im rolling on the floor.
I need to borrow someone's very cool grandmother and do this. If I was one of these people overhearing this it would make my week. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When a dude with an accordion rolls up on a lawnmower, you know it’s about to get real.
Steve’n’Seagulls turn “Thunderstruck” into a hoedown and I am here for it.
It’s no accident that as Linus recites scripture & says, “Fear not…”, he drops his security blanket. He always had his blanket. Powerful.
Charles Schwartz knew then. “If we don’t do it, who will?”
We are still faced with that same question every day, even more so now than ever.
There was nothing like a quiet evening with the family and sitting down to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas. There still isn’t. ❤️
