This is from former My Chemical Romance drummer, Bob Bryar’s, experience and eye witness account of the incident.
”My dog dixie was killed by a well known trainer a few years ago, coincidentally by a man named Dan. Her loss completely ruined my life. It’s a very long story that really strengthened my views on animal cruelty and proper care for them. I exposed that guy for what he is (an animal abuser) and he is now out of business forever.
Today I have a first hand eyewitness account of a man named Dan Morgan, a dog trainer that operates a business in Chicago (Franklin Park) under the name CANINE WAKE UP (caninewakeup.com), abusing a dog under his care at an adoption event. When the dog that he was responsible for training peed on the floor, Dan Morgan repeatedly kicked the dog in the stomach, lifted the dog off the ground by his PRONG collar choking him, and called him an asshole before dropping him to the ground. Many people witnessed it and have been trying to do something to help but haven’t gotten far enough. I decided to try and call him and talk to him about it and of course he didn’t answer. I left him a message asking about his rates to train dogs and could not help asking if the choking and name calling were an extra charge.”
This is ONLY an excerpt of the original post from Bob Bryar that can be found HERE on his Twitlonger account. I URGE you to go read this and spread the word about this trainer. HELP BOB HELP THE ANIMALS!

“Around the same time, in 2006, a writer and music-industry gadabout named Sarah Lewitinn– more recognizably branded as Ultragrrrl– posted a blog entry making a claim that shouldn’t, in and of itself, have been all that provocative. My Chemical Romance, she suggested, was “this generation’s Nirvana”– the transformative favorite that meant something to millions.”

“Squier introduces what is surely one of its most distinctive signature bass guitar models ever in the striking short-scale form of the Mikey Way Mustang Bass. Designed with the input of the nimble My Chemical Romance bassist, it takes the classic Mustang Bass and amps it through the roof with a dazzling large-flake Silver Sparkle finish with black racing stripes, a single seismic humbucking pickup with a black cover, and a black headstock with Way’s signature on the back.”

Artist Jane Bush
Jane Bush, a photographer and artist from St. Louis, Missouri , has been creating a collection of paintings inspired by the My Chemical Romance personas, The Fabulous Killjoys. Her amazing talent has brought real life into vivid still life and “The Contamination Series” originals (not prints) will be on display January 20th at the Gallery Godo in Los Angeles. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to charity on Jane’s behalf if they are sold while on display.
Congratulations Jane! No doubt you deserve it. From what I have seen of your paintings, it is like looking at The Killjoys in person. You have a talent not to go left unnoticed.
If you would like to see Jane’s work and her amazing concert photography visit her at artistjanebush.com. Most of us only dream of having talent such as this. We here at My Chemical Freak wish you much success and can’t wait to see you in a gallery of nothing but your own work. No doubt that will happen one day. 
She also has a gallery of her work on her Facebook that can be found HERE.
And being the kind person that she is, she has chosen to help My Chemical Freak help The Autism Center of Tupelo by donating a SINGLE print of one of her Killjoy paintings (pictured below) to be auctioned off on Ebay to help the Autistic children get the help they so desperately need. Please keep your eyes on our site and hers, as well as her Facebook for more information on that auction!

They say more details to come, but with the 25th quickly approaching it leaves me as well as others wondering just how accurate this information might be.
