An explosive guitarist. A fiery temper. A flame that threatens to die with each meetingā¦and one slip of the tongue that changes everything.
I get a call late one night about some band that got ripped off. When I get there in uniform, itās like showing up to class without pants on. My sneers set them back a notch. Iām no groupie. But this one guitarist in glasses, Spex, isnāt afraid of me, so I bite back harder. Later that night, another call arrives, this time it hits home hard. What Spex shows me makes me look twice at him. And itās a long, hard look. More than that, itās a look that makes everything else completely different forever. And I donāt think Iām ready for that.

Weāre being treated like the dirtbags here, but I get the feeling that this Claudia chick uses a broad stroke with people. Doesnāt matter if youāre the guitarist in one of the most popular bands ever. She has a silver tongue but Iāve got ironclad chops. When I follow her to the airport, and back home, having received a mutual call, I realize that her act is just that. My glasses come off and my perspective changes, when I see something in Claudia that I never want to see in myself. My gift to her makes her look twice at me.
ā¦but when the flatline sounds in the Emergency Room, all bets are off.
