    "comment": "Dear John,\n\nSeven months ago, I wrote to you and asked to hear “Bend” by Middle Kids, as my then 12-year-old son was in crisis and refusing to go to school—the result of bullying and a woefully misdiagnosed mental health condition. Our story resonated with two other listeners—Marcus and Kate—whose emails you forwarded me. When things got bad—and they did—I would reread their notes: We made it, our kids made it, and yours will too.\n\nAs my son got on the right medication he began the long, winding journey back to health, I made a playlist for him. One of the last songs I added—as our beautiful boy began to return to us—was “The Next Storm” by Frank Turner. We had a difficult winter, we had a rough few months, but I’m heartened to share that my son is finally back at school, healthier and happier than ever.\n\nThis has been my hardest year as a mom, but I’ve learned several important lessons:\n\nMusic is medicine. \nReal medicine should not be so expensive and difficult to access. Period.\nAnd finally, there will always be a next storm. But I know my boy can weather them.\n\nI would love to hear “The Next Storm”—for my son and anyone else listening who is where we were in January. Thank you for building this beautiful community of music lovers and for always reminding us—in good times and bad—that we’re not alone.\n\nAdrienne, longtime Amplifier in Maryland",
