    Dear Tom MacD, I just got introduced to your lyrical, prophetic art less than a year ago and you're my favorite artist EVER. Your music speaks to my soul, treats my wounds, and makes me know I'm not the only one who sees, understands and feels what I feel. You speak so much truth it's unbelievable. Bought all three autographed discs from HOG and looking forward to buying some apparel. I'll rep your music hard bro. Keep being you, or whatever you want to be, I'll respect it. Much love brother. 💯

      Wow Tom, never been drawn to an artist like I'm drawn to you. Since being turned on to your music it's all I've listened to. I know I'm not alone in my despair or joy, in my disgust of politics or fear of what's to come in this nation. Your eyes and soul see and say everything i feel. You and Nova are amazing. Keep spitting the truth. H.O.G. forever. I'll always be here for ya. If u ever come to Reno Hit me up. I'll be in the audience. Love u guys

    [Verse 1]
    I woke up last night in the living room
    Left the TV on, fell asleep to the news
    I've become numb to the violence, I cannot hear no more cryin'
    Or sirens or stories 'bout Paris or terrorist threats to the country where I live
    Buncha politicians steady lying on the TV still
    Buncha young mo'fuckers fightin' with the police and the police kill
    Buncha students gettin' killed in an air strike, no one even care like
    I wonder if they taught 'em that they'd never win a fair fight
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Huh, how the west was won
    How the west was won
    How the west was won
    How the west was won
    [Chorus]
    Oh, when the lights go out, maybe then we'll see
    When the lights go out, maybe that's what we need
    When the lights go out and the job gets done
    Maybe that will be-be, be, be how the west was won
    [Verse 2]
    Had a drink last night while the city burned
    That I been to twice, but it didn't hurt
    The images didn't seem real, I'm too far to feel
    The fear and the anger and hatred and no one that I know got killed, I sat there and chilled
    Too many pictures of people that died way too young
    Too many bombings for me to keep up with, remember when there was none
    Too many dead for my tears, too many lost for my love
    Too many cry for my ears, how the west was won
    [Pre-Chorus]
    How the west was won
    How the west was won
    How the west was won
    How the west was won
    [Bridge]
    I woke up last night in the living room
    Left the TV on, fell asleep to the new new news
    I've become numb to the violence, I cannot hear no more cryin'
    Or sirens or stories 'bout Paris or terrorist threats to the country where I live
    [Chorus]
    When the lights go out, maybe then we'll see
    When the lights go out, maybe that's what we need
    When the lights go out and the job gets done
    Maybe that will be be be be how the west was won

      @@cincoy3679 If you are referring to mass shootings only a few bad ones happen a year. They now classify a mass shooting as any shooting where 4 or more people are injured or killed. So by that metric the 70s, 80s, and 90s were full of them. Arguably more so since all of those decades and most of the ones proceeding them were much more violent than the 2000s and 2010s have been.

    This was the first song I ever heard of yours, when it was brand new. If I recall you only had a few thousand subs back then... I knew you would be HUGE one day homie and I spread your sound to everyone I know.
    There's a lot of things that don't go right in this world. Seeing you rise to the top and have your voice heard and loved by MILLIONS gives me hope in this world that more things can go right.
    God Bless you, Nova, and your entire family.
