Beth Blenz-Clucas recruited Kindiefest co-founder Bill Childs to guest-post
My daughter is just about to start middle school, which is one of those terrifying sentences to even see in pixels on the screen, much less have be a true statement. She’s doing great — she knows who she is (and who she isn’t), she’s got a good core of friends, and she (so far anyway) keeps communicating with us. And so, most of the time, we’re pretty comfortable with where we think her path will lead.
But I still find myself drawn to songs that are about that challenge of remaining true to yourself and your hopes — and, truth be told, I suppose those songs that still speak to middle-aged me, as I try to figure out what I’m going to be when I grow up.So that led me to, for this week’s entry, Frank Turner and Secret Agent 23 Skidoo. An earnest British punker-turned folk-rock artist and a family-oriented hip-hop artist from the South: not the most obvious connection, right? But stay with me here.
