3,000,000 Years is in a way a synthesis of everything I’ve learned and thought about after getting out of horses. In 2011, after I gave up training horses full-time, I spent a year as a student of history, current events, and economics, learning how they are all connected. It all started by watching a movie called “Collapse”, about Michael Ruppert, to whom this song is dedicated.

In early America, barns were often built in a circular shape- Lexington, KY still has a famous “Round Barn” next to their historic racetrack, where charity auctions, and special events (like square dances, which ironically seem especially amenible to round spaces) are held. What is often forgotten is that the roundness of these barns was not an architectural feature meant to maximize storage or minimize the use of materials, but rather a literal means of keeping the Devil from hiding in a corner.

Although it’s the most-recently-written of the songs presented here so far and not on my first album, Fake News is the song I’m releasing first due to its current relevance. The term ‘Fake News’ suddenly entered the mainstream dialogue during the 2016 Presidential election, and now it’s impossible to go anywhere without hearing it. But the reality of controlling the masses by controlling the dissemination of information is as old as history itself.
