    When he laughs, it brings me back to my middle school days when I was obsessed with watching old school Blink interviews. I don’t exactly know how much he likes to be connected to or associated with those days, but man, it really feels like the golden days. Best of luck Tom, you’ve always been one of my favorite artists, and one of my favorite people.

    I love this video! I've been doing a little bit of research and "the visitors" are using ancient Hebrew symbols to try and communicate. One example is they design buildings to communicate purpose. So when more visiting craft arrive, the see buildings designed in a fashion to know what's going on inside. Have fun finding these buildings in the desert. They're also creating modern symbology with Hebrew in the "protected" desert. These visitors DO NOT LIKE secrecy and keep their word. Are we being kept grounded because the gov is falsely telling the visitors we are all like the curated news being fed to the visitors?

Also, the part where he mentioned people loving their guns is "dumb", I think is what he said. Kind of a dumb thing to say considering that guns is what keeps us from a tyrannical government. Not to mention that they're a tool to protect your family friends and neighbors. Other then that, great iinterview.

      "What he used to stand for"
      So as a kid/young adult with no family or businesses not really caring about anything just touring and seeing the world, to being an adult with priorities and ambitious you think what he "stand for" is exactly the same? Like his personality and responsibilities are frozen in time...? The ethos of punk is staying true to yourself, and he is. He's being himself and not selling you a former version of himself. He grew up. You call him a sellout for that?

      Also, his view on politics is insane and screams deepstate. He wants the american people to give up their guns (Which is there to protect themselves from tyrannical government to protect the 1st amendment) And on twitter hes saying he wants a one world government and military (Which is already a thing...the UN military). If his views come true....the USA would turn into full socialist that would lead to full communism, China and the corrupt democrats and some corrupt RINOS would let china take over the USA completely. The west would fall, And youll get a technocratic communism world with middle classes vanishing and creating hell on earth. I used to love tom as a teen, but my god hes a total whack job. Either really dumb in terms of world views, of secretly deepstate.

    Does he actually not care about what’s happening with Mark though?

      Why would he have to speak about it on a public platform in order to care?

      @@MarksMindBox well he has now mentioned mark on twitter but I would think him of all people would be upset & after this week when we will discover how long Mark has to live, it would have to lead to a reunion & possible farewell tour

      Mark Brewer it gave me doubt about how deep the band's split from tom was also I've seen them twice and I personally now think I've triggered another event with seeing performers live where they end up not being around anymore
