Time Bomb is a famous, critically-acclaimed, universally-adored folk singer whose amazing music has touched many... or, well, he believes he used to be, that is. Emerging from solitude after a ten year hiatus to work on a new album, he intends to acquire newfound interest by finally releasing it. Unfortunately, upon stepping into town, he realizes that a lot can change in ten years. With his bitter attitude and his ways of drinking, ponies are both unimpressed and forgetful about his existence. Naturally, he hates them as well. In a world once seemingly full of friendship, not everything is rainbows and butterflies.

He's got a lot to learn.
