Allen and his band, Happiless, put out a song — Hopscotch Town — way back in 2014 that sounds pretty prescient today.

Hopscotch Town is a catchy piece of pop confection wrapped around a big chunk of poison. Give it a listen. Then take action!Find the Happiless hapsters on the

The two totally distinct types of visionaries, it’s like fire and ice, and I feel my role in the band is to be kind of the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water.” Well, on today’s Quick Tap, our guests tell us about the times they left puddles of themselves
