CANADA FUNK
A while ago Dianne and Steph commented disparagingly on the talking heads of Canadian media. I'm paraphrasing, but they found it pretty much a waste of time listening to these people. So, I wrote this tune, partially inspired by their comments. People think they're getting informed when they listen to the news, but, in fact, they're being programmed to think a certain way. "Talking heads earn their bread, filling up your head...." See what you think. I performed all the parts except the drums.

Ha! Well said.
It seemed appropriate to combine the traditional meaning of funk with the respective modern musical style. Webster's 1828 defines funk as a bad smell; and, that's essentially what comes out of the news media.
Canada Funk-adelic! Great stuff Reg! Now your style here is reminding me of my brother's 70's Funk albums. But I know not to look at those lyrics . . if I ever understood what they were saying in the first place :)
mute the news, stick this on in the background, think about life and where these last-days are going...that's how to do it :)
I love it Reg… there has been no change as far as the “ Canada Funk “ but interestingly ;this morning , our bible study group was discussing how easy it is to be distracted and waste time listening to content creators ruminating on the state of our Country and the world. What and Who in this world are we to believe anyway when it comes to worldly affairs ? My time will be better spent in the Word of God and believing what He has to say instead of people in the entertainment business. Thank you Reg, this song made me laugh and cry a little. Well done 🙂
Very cool Reg 👍 it’s funny Steph and I during our church time together with the other girls reading through your 1John chapter 2 commentary together actually spoke about this very thing lol I actually cancelled my YouTube premium membership because of all the content that is a total complete waste of time and energy and money on nonsense . The conviction came very early this week to focus most of my time on things that actually matter in the scope of things with eternal value. Get in the Word and stay there, drop all the rest.
