BUFFALO BILL
If I were younger I’d move to Cody, Wyoming. I’d wear a cowboy hat, a fringed buckskin jacket, get a horse and carry a six gun. Wyoming has the most permissive gun laws in America — no permit required, no registration, open-carry no problem.
The city of Cody was named after Wild West legend William ‘Buffalo Bill’ Cody.*
I’d be neighbors with Kanye West. The Christian rapper and business tycoon owns a 4,500-acre ranch seven miles outside Cody.
He paid $7.7 million for the spread, a mere bag of shells for a man whose got $6 billion. He bought it in the name of his limited liability company, Psalm LLC, which is a very cool name for a company. I’d buy shares in a company with a name like that.
‘JESUS IS KING’
The 43-year-old musician won a 2021 Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album for his most recent recording, ‘Jesus Is King.’
The born-again Christian changed the rap music scene with his 2004 hit, ‘Jesus Walks,’ his third Top 20 single in a row and the Grammy winner for Best Rap Song.
“They say you can rap about anything except Jesus,” he lyricized. “That means guns, sex, lies, videotape / But if I talk about God my record won’t get played.”
He proved the critics wrong with ‘Jesus is King.’
I know God is alive, yeah
He has opened up my vision giving me a revelation
This ain’t ’bout a damn religion
Jesus brought a revolution
Kanye is getting divorced from Kim Kardashian, 40 — or rather, she’s divorcing him. She said his crazy run for President of the U.S.A. in 2020 was “the final straw.” She said she had to end the seven-year marriage for the sake of their children and her own sanity.
The couple have four children: two sons, Saint, 5, and Psalm, almost 2; and two daughters, North, 7, and Chicago, 3.
While Kanye was talking about running for president “and saying other crazy shit,” an insider said, Kim was focusing on studying for a bar exam to become a lawyer and fire up her prison reform program.
Good luck to her. And Kanye’s cool. And this is Cody, Wyoming:
