Here is the tale, it's spoken word-for-word,
it may be abominable, but, yes it must be heard.
Nauseating at first, you can expect the worst,
so listen closely, as the plot unfolds...I might stretch the truth, may be a little lie,
there was a boy named Brad,
he played trumpet, and he died.
Too young for him to cease,
Why? We haven't got a clue,
It's on the internet, so then it must be true.The untimely death of Brad,
how sad it must have been.
If you see him anywhere,
remember to console him.I curse the day, I ever met the boy,
Only the good die young, they say.
The details of his death are vague
unbelievable it seems,
as if his passing was only a dream.
Catastrophe, calamity,
what will we tell his mother now?
Cataclysmic, a tragic mishap,
I just heard that their band is breaking up.
I hear his trumpet, his voice rings in my ears,
it sometimes seems he's standing very near.
I don't believe in ghosts,
I've never seen one,
but isn't the trumpet playing haunting on this album?A day that lives in infamy,
in horror we behold, his passing,
his memory, but the truth must be told

At a point in the world when you think that people are just generally all bastards, you find stuff like this:
I was reading reddit and they had this spectacular article by the telegraph, about Hitler's step-brother and his family, and what they did with their lives. His step-brother was in Germany when the war started, left, ended up coming to America and joining the US Navy, fought in the war, then disappeared for the rest of his life. Well this one reporter, fantastic fellow really, tracked him down only to find that he had died in 1987, so then he found out that he had children, four sons, three of which were still alive. It was INCREDIBLY moving to me to hear that these three brothers made a pact with each other not to marry, not to have children, so that when they died, the Hitler bloodline would die with them. What amazing character, I literally cannot imagine their lives, but they give me hope in people. Maybe the world ain't so bad deep down after all.
