Recap

 

Grace, I pray that God gives you a magnificent dowry from me, that you will live in luxury.  Please keep streaming with Mary everyday, as it is now your livelihood more than any other live show can be.  When you get enough money inshaAllah, take your Mom to a jewelry store and buy a nice ring.  Then show me that ring on your finger, and I will go get one for myself to confirm our commitment.  My ring won't be as nice as yours.  It will probably be gaudy, the cheap ones usually are.  Or maybe just a stainless steel band with your name on it.

InshaAllah I will build a house and bring you here to be a Muslim wife.  In Islam, women keep their names when they marry, so you will always be Grace Bowers.  Our anniversary is April 28.  Your responsibility is to protect your chastity and your body.  Keep healthy, get exercise, stay clean including keeping away from alcohol and smoke.  Don't get bloated!  Be very careful when you travel.  Rock stars and aircraft don't mix.  I noticed your going to Bear Shadows on May 11.  That lineup looks like strangers to you to me, plus you get last billing.  I don't want you to go to any more obscure gigs that put you in danger, whether they be in the city or in the sticks.  You've nothing more to gain from them.  Musically, you are turning into them.  Playing live at a venue is a dead end, Grace!  That New Year's Eve show is as good as it's going to get for you.  It was bait.   

Grace, I want you to cancel all live shows and just stream from your bedroom, away from physical contact, away from danger.  Better things will come inshaAllah.  Lisa, the craziness can't be controlled!  All it takes is ONE mistake, and Grace is gone!  Ya Allah, please protect my wife.  I'm trying to save her life and her love for music, will she listen to me?  What good is a beautiful young wife when she's dead?

I don't know how long things will take, Grace.  Just keep playing music everyday.  After all, it's all the same day.  You have given me a glimpse of happiness, even though I can't seem to play guitar properly anymore.

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.

53.  Say, "Spend willingly or unwillingly, not from you will it be accepted, for you are indeed a people rebellious and wicked."

The Repentance 9:53

Coffee!

 

New York!  Never been there, don't wanna go either.  I prefer the country.  But you look positively stunning, Grace.

Yeah, Mary's voice can put you in a coma.  That's why people rely on her to fall asleep.  Well it's only 2 hours, Grace.  At least you don't have to sing.  Folks, tell her to drink coffee, stay awake, do her job and do it well.  She's a fucking Rock Star representing the good ol' US of A, for God's sake.  She can put whatever the fuck she wants to the singing.  Just be alert!

I love you, Grace.  You're my girl, of course I'm going to be easy on you.  But I want you to have a substantial dowry.  Plus the crowd is much stricter than me, so please play their music for them alertly.  Do the entire 2 hours every night, professional musician.

I have a feeling you don't like to be kissed.  I don't like to be kissed, either.  Not by Kiss, at least.
