Pop Punk Radio

"My generation needs a bunch of free condoms, because common sense ain't that common." Another truth-spittin' banger from Tom MacDonald.

Remember when punk bands openly criticized left-wing politicians? Pop Punk Radio remembers. These two videos were bonus features on the Special Edition CD of Warning back in 2000. They would play if you put the album in to your computer. The "Think Twice" video somewhat mimics a slander video that was released in the 90's during the Bill Clinton election.

How many new artists were born in 2020? How many will be born in 2021? Will you be one of those new artists? If not this year, perhaps next year. Maybe the plant won't grow for some time, and that's ok, but perhaps the seed has been planted. Let it grow in to something beautiful to share with the world. There are a lot of people out there who can benefit from your own creations. Don't let being new at something hold you back from learning and growing, we all have to start somewhere.
