The annual feast and parade of St. Rocco was held in Little Italy on August 16, 1926. The parade started at St. Joachim's Church, 26 Roosevelt St., and proceeded through the main streets of the Lower East Side. Thousands of dollars were attached to the statue of the saints, after which the feasts and reception were held back in the church.

bitches and hoes who claim that danger days sucks and is a huge downgrade from the quality of the black parade are just afraid to have fun and wear colorful clothing once in a while
when I say I'm genderfuck I specifically mean in the way American rock band My Chemical Romance frontperson Gerard Way says "fuck" at the 2:57 mark in This Is How I Disappear, third track off of 2006 studio album The Black Parade
Their early work was a little too post hardcore for my tastes, but when Revenge came out in '04, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate emoism that really gives the songs a big boost. They’ve been compared to the used, but I think Gerard has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
In '06, they released this, The Black Parade, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Famous Last Words", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about determination and perseverance after death, it's also a personal statement about the band itself!
