That's tragic news. All good thoughts to Cory's family and the rest of GWAR.

All I know about GWAR is that Beavis and Butthead were big fans of theirs in the 90's.

"Our thoughts are with our friends GWAR"? What the heck is that supposed to mean? The correct term is "our prayers are with them" which would actually do something helpful.

iBelieve, if you want to pray, you should, but no one asked you to.

iBelieve, you're muddying your personal beliefs with those held by others. The phrase "our thoughts are with our friends GWAR" is perfectly proper for rational people. You can go ahead and pray that good or bad things happen to anyone you want, but understand that most in the rock'n'roll world will think you are insane.
