In this INSIDER issue:
"A small trouble is like a pebble.
Hold it close to your eye, it fills the whole world and puts everything out of focus.
Hold it at a proper distance and it can be examined and properly classified.
Throw it at your feet and it can be seen in its true setting,
just one more tiny bump on the pathway of life."

Fist To The Sky
A website has been established to help out a friend of the Chicago music scene. Troy Coates, better known as Roach, is suffering from a rare form of adrenal cancer and with health insurance only covering a percentage of his treatment, they're needing all the help they can get to help him fight this disease. Spread the word about the site and do what you can to help this person who's done a lot to get metal bands back into the forefront of the local scene and into the larger venues, paving the way for the next generation of heavy bands.
