I'm not really sure where to put this, but it involves creative writing, although it is not mine: After performing Poor Kids Bible, and realizing that the song truly had an affect on people, I emailed the band that wrote it (Washington Social Club). I thought that the writer of the song deserved to hear what his song was used for and how well it fit with the Broken Dreams program.

here is a part of the writer's response: "wow, I'm reading this with tears in my eyes. Poor Kids Bible was written for two reasons. First off I had friends going to Iraq, and I wanted to write something that would defend their choice to go in the military, even though I was scared for them I understood why they made that decision. But the second reason is the one that's blowing my mind right now. When I was a senior in high my friend Mikey Carr was killed while driving drunk and in the snow. That's what the middle break of the song is about "black blood the concrete reminds me of Mikey". It was a truly horrible experience, Mikey was a guy who had a college baseball scholarship waiting for him and he was just an irrepressible dude. I am so proud and honored that you used this song to touch your school. Thank you, thank you, thank you. "

I just thought that was absolutely amazing and I figured I'd share what Martin Royle had to say with whoever reads this.~KC Beauregard

The Broken Dreams Committee was so thrilled to read the above message from KC that we checked the internet for a recording of Poor Kids Bible and lucked out finding our own KC performing it earlier on a YouTube...
