      @edwardnigma6568 7 лет назад +22

      Overthehills
      The globalists that cheat and lie their way into positions of power while engineering society to serve their purposes via media and popular culture. Society as it is today, has been engineered to make you subscribe to philosophies and ideals that literally enslave you and provide the illusion of freedom. The United States is one of very few countries where true freedom still exists in a watered down form but the globalists are working to stop it every day. The 1st and 2nd amendments are the cornerstones of our freedoms and those are the ones that are constantly under seige.

    Close your eyes listening to this blues tune, and you can picture the tumble-weeds rolling down a dusty country road in the deep south, as an pristine 65 Mustang's 289 V8 motor growls to a stop beside the pumps in a desolate gas station to fill up, waking the grizzled old man sitting on a rocking chair in the shade of a weeping willow tree, as the movie credits roll. Very evocative tune fer sure, and man, I have never seen a guitar like that, sound so good. You is da MAN, Justin.

      I'm sure they clicked thumbs down on this and then immediately went on to watch one of their favorite justin bieber videos.

      I actually disliked the video because I was so impressed with his music and was jealous that I can play it myself. I can barely play a radio...😞
