FaceBook Event




Our FaceBook Event is the USANA concert on July 16 in SLC, UT.

Our Mission is to sell out USANA July 16, it's a 20,000 seat venue and we're currently at 7,500 tickets sold. We've got a ways to go. The most seats we've sold prior to this show is 13,000 at ESA. This is our opportunity to show buyers that we are a big enough act to play in larger arenas. (I liken it to a Boston Marathon qualifier). 

Our strategy is to debut our newest song titled "OK" at the USANA show and film it there for a YouTube video. We're creating the FB Event to raise awareness of the event and invite FB friends to join us at the show and be a part of the video creation.

The audience we seek to engage are those age 13 to 65+ who enjoy TPG music/videos and want to be a part of this event.

Obviously- that means you too! 
Come join us at this show, it's guaranteed to knock your socks off!

ON THE MEDIA- How Not to Normalize Trump



Will This be the New Face on the US Dollar?

According to The Takeaway-- Less than a week ago Donald Trump reached the 1,237 delegates needed to win the Republican nomination for president.
More disturbing than the thought of the above face on our ever devaluated currency, is the possibility of Donald Trump taking a seat in the White House. Bob Garfield of WNYC explains why in his PodCast How not to Normalize Trump.  In this podcast Bob snubs the WallStreet Journal for interviewing Trump as a "normal" candidate on the normal topic of 'Financial Policy'.  NBC's Meet the Press interviewed Trump on the same financial policy catching him in loop holes. Trump claimed that the tax plan is more of a tax proposal.  In an attitude of dismissal, as though tax plans are no big deal. However, the topic of financial policy, or even who will run as Trumps VP should be reserved for 'normal candidates'.

The inherent danger in "normalizing" Trump is the tendency to disregard his crass and insidious character as a facade.  How unfortunate it would be if Trumps hate speech, that many view only as an attempt at being a 'tough guy', ever materialized. A famous publican known simply as "Mathew" is popularly coined for this phrase; "by their fruits ye shall know them".
As a likely candidate should be, Trump is a public mouthpiece. Ergo his "fruits" are his words. His politically incorrect attitude and language aren't the worst of Trump, but his speech. He often spews what Bob Garfield calls; "the most cowardly hate speech".  He vigilantly cautions agains normalizing Trump, and warns us to be alarmed about his words including that of; racism, xenophobia, misogyny, and incitement. Bob compares Trump to a "nuclear recklessness reminiscent of a raving meth-head with a machete on an episode of Cops."

Wow! How do you like those apples?

Face it-  Donald Trumps face on the US Dollar is a far cry from normal. So is he.
