I hate to break it to you but Elvis was rich, Led Zeppelin was rich, Metallica are rich, if you think that money and rock are somehow mutually exclusive, then you are sadly mistaken.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
