My assignment for my Public Policy class this week is to “come up with a song/artist that had an impact on public policy in the U.S. at any point in U.S. history. The impact doesn’t have to be enormous, but you must be able to make a reasoned, sound argument for your selection.”

Who comes to your mind?

Neon Waves’ 1st Mixtape: Gradient Summer

So this mixtape was born out of a playlist I made for a road trip last month and eventually kept adding and removing from… So some of the songs are a little old, some are very old, and some are new. Some are popular, some not so well known. Ignoring all of that, it’s just a collection of songs that have become the soundtrack to my summer so far.
