The "Founding Fathers" -- the most rarefied club in American history -- stand in for everything we love or hate about this country, from its civic and religious freedom to its white supremacism.  As if carved in stone (which they oftentimes are), they loom over every political debate, even though most of us know next to nothing about them, or even who counts as one of the group.  Coined by that immortal wordsmith, President Warren Harding, the phrase "Founding Fathers" serves as an empty vessel for civic emotion, conveniently covering over the actual history of struggle, conflict, and contention that shaped the American republic.

LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning sun in my eyes
Feeling so fresh, no need for lies
Got my own vibe, don't need your cries
Today I'm free, no alibis 

[Verse 2]
High heels clicking down the street
Heart full of fire riding the beat
Your drama ain't got nothing on me
I'm living large, just wait and see 

[Chorus]
I got zero fucks given no holding back
I'm running this town on my own track
No chains no worries no looking back
Zero fucks given I’ll never crack 

[Bridge]
People talk they never understand
I live life it’s not something planned
No judgment day no promised land
I’m just dancing in this wonderland 

[Verse 3]
Flashing lights and neon dreams
Living fast it’s more than it seems
I’m on fire or so it seems
Burning bright like laser beams 

[Chorus]
I got zero fucks given no holding back
I'm running this town on my own track
No chains no worries no looking back
Zero fucks given I’ll never crack 
Never crack

[Verse 3]
Flashing lights and neon dreams
Living fast it’s more than it seems
I’m on fire or so it seems
Burning bright like laser beams 

Chorus]
I got zero fucks given no holding back
I'm running this town on my own track
No chains no worries no looking back
Zero fucks given I’ll never crack 

[Outro]
I'm lighting up the night
My spirit's feeling alive
Zero fucks, I'm feeling free
That's just me, and that's all I need




Zero Fucks Given

Happy July 4th, Everyone.
Here are my thoughts on our great miraculous country and the great gift we have been given.

The Federalist Pages 255 07042025: Happy July 4th, Everyone.

The Republican Party has become the people James Madison warned us against: a Faction. In any country, the most dangerous thing that can happen is for a group and its political representatives to act as if their view alone represents the nation. That thinking leads to the view that they alone “are” the nation and that those who disagree with them are not of the nation - even if they are fellow citizens, born on the country’s soil. When this happens in a democratic republic, like the US, and the view takes over a political party, then the threat to the national fabric is mortal. 
And that is the heart of the crisis in America today: The Republicans are no longer a political party but a faction.
The danger of factions was noted at the foundation of the United States. In Federalist paper #10 
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Federalist_(Dawson)/10
James Madison defined faction as, "a number of citizens, whether amounting to a minority or majority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adverse to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community.”
The Republican Party has been slowly morphing into a faction for almost 70 years. In this FRDH podcast the history of this change is told through applying the words of the Declaration  of Independence to current Republican behavior. 
The Declaration of Independence is really a bill of divorcement, a declaration before the community of nations of the causes leading the states to separate from Britain. As I read through the list this past holiday it was amazing how many could be applied to the Republican faction today.
Republican factionalism leads their elected representatives to upend existing Constitutional customs and norms and defamed the design of Madison, Jefferson and the other Founding Fathers by refusing to cooperate with anyone not of their group  The design of the founders was a constitutional order that provided a mechanism for balancing the inevitable competing points of view that would grow in a society where people were free to follow different religions and debate ideas freely.  Without respect for these rules the system cannot work.
The result is the United States has, over the last quarter of a century, become ungovernable and now, more than at any moment in my lifetime is on the edge of some kind of catastrophic disintegration.

FRDH: Republican Party Is Now a Faction How it Happened

Make America Great Again! Although their agendas couldn’t be more different, Democrats and Republicans share an identical goal: Restore the US to their vision for the country. What do those visions look like, and who will win?

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here, for the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer, and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course, I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

BTW If you follow me, I will ALWAYS follow back. If I like your music, I will follow you, but if you don't follow me back within a week or so I will probably unfollow. The same goes with when I see someone listening to my music, I WILL follow, however, if they don't follow me back within a week or so, I'll unfollow, because I'd like to even out my follows/followers numbers.  Hope that makes sense? 😘
