A New Song For A Bad Problem

Just when I think I got the perfect topic for today, I find something that trumps it big time.  There is a band from Los Angeles, CA via Dublin, Ireland that I really love. The band is Flogging Molly.  The leader is from Ireland who transplanted himself to California. I will feature alot of their music in a few weeks on St. Patrick's Day, but this song is a new one that I can personally relate to the meaning of it.  The song is "Punch Drunk Grinning Soul."  It is about a guy that commits suicide after suffering from depression.  The song is also dedicated to the millions that suffer from Post Tramatic Sress Disorder. There are over 7 million that are afflicted.  Some are from war, and others from tramatic events such as rape.  The hope is that they recieve the help they justly deserve.
