Analog zone of my own – now, where’s my phone?

from Words and Music Archives - Tony Funderburk

Analog zone of my own OK, here’s my phone. Now, let’s see. Settings: General: software update. No, not in there. OK, Settings: Wi-Fi. And it’s not in there. Where would it be? Control center? No. Accessibility? No. And it’s not even under Emergency SOS. Well…I’ll toss this question out to all my fellow iPhone users. Where is the analog zone setting for our devices? Because I’m trying to protect my gear and my studio from this virus I keep hearing about.   Maybe my iPhone 8 Plus is too old to have access to the analog zone. Could that be it? Don’t tell me I’m gonna have to trade up just to get the protection I deserve as a native American citizen. Seriously? And shouldn’t my devices automatically update against such publicized viruses? I mean c’mon. We have the technology! And I think the analog zone mode should be free for all devices. No matter how much it costs. Free…and easy access. Is that too much to ask for the safety and protection of all? I don’t “feel” like it is. And I’ll bet millions of others “feel” like I do. (cue the Peter Frampton song) OK, I won’t beat this horse to death. But I WILL say one more thing. It’s my recommendation to all who spend so much time in the dirty, digital world. Get out as quickly as you can. Surely all the convenience, speed, and efficiency aren’t worth the price you have to pay. And I’m talking about the price of spreading this evil virus. I suggest you protect yourself and go the way of the… Analog Man He makes his livin’ in that smoky ol’ dive He’s still believin’ that his time will arrive He bangs the keys out to the rhythm and horns He says that it’s exactly why he was born Don’t wanna face your facts…he’ll just keep makin’ tracks Because he knows that it’s what keeps him alive Don’t use no cellphone, and he don’t go online Says AM radio will suit him just fine Still winds his watch and keeps a pencil and pad Ol’ black and white t.v”says it ain’t so bad Don’t mind a little hiss”he says “that’s soulful bliss” And that’s what really makes the music divine He’s an analog cat in a digital cage He’s an analog letter; not a digital page Built his analog house from an analog plan Says throw them little digits in the can He’s an analog man He lights his ciggy with a blue diamond match Don’t play no video; he loves to play catch He drives a Thunderbird from “˜56 It uses cheap gas and it’s easy to fix Might leak a little oil, but it don’t overboil And just like him it was the last of a batch Repeat chorus”instrumental”chorus to end © 2003 Tony Funderburk Stay tuned, My books are also on Amazon.com or Apple Books Grab some Merch Or how about some music for kids [mc4wp_form id=”14357″] Don’t forget to tip your RhymeTender on the way out.
