"Terminal" is not a good band to have on your cancer fundraiser show.

Why tf are people getting colon cancer at 34 thats some grandpa shit. Maybe they really are putting chemicals in the water

"Terminal" on a show for a dude with cancer. Also, it's nice of them to do a benefit show but I doubt the $9 they make from the door will go very far towards his medical bills...
