Bold Generation as single

Given political climate and protests, I think it makes a good statement. Thoughts?

I mean... it's about 95% of "New Power Generation," and that's been a single already. There has to be more to it than title alone.

Besides, if you wanna racism and protests, "NPG" speaks to the "old ideas, we're stick n' tired of you telling us what to do." "We wanna change the world, the only thing that's in our way is you."

It's an anthem, for sure.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

It would be a good idea, but son't you think it might come across as opportunistic?

No more opportunistic than mangling 1999 in 1999 IMO. But yes, I see what you are saying.

Oh come on, this is very different, you're talkin about a very sensible and important issue what's happening now in the States. But who knows, perhaps it would be very welcome.

Wouldn't work as a single. Also sourced from a tape and was already NPG. Rearrange would be better

Album plays and love for vinyl records.
