Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

We used to listen to that after close at my high school job. Put that on instead of the local radio or muzak lol.
It was a tongue in cheek response to my first exposure to Henry Rollins at my local dance club back in the day.
I think he might've been our only decent teacher"
