If I’m being totally honest, I’m at a point in my life where the first thing I think of when someone mentions World War II – specifically D Day – is this gem of a music video. Then I think of Saving Private Ryan and then I think of my grandmother, who remembers seeing troops […]

A Word on Today and Some Other Days
The ‘start’ of My Chemical Romance has always been 11th September 2001.
