Movie night

 

Lol Howard said it right, Grace.  You are guitar porn!  Oh dear, you better not go too far in that direction.  The first thing people would forget is the guitar.  And you do play a lot of notes.  But we love you.  That's what playing live is all about, love.  The people who love you.  Love is also hate and jealousy, that's why live shows have become so dangerous.

It's movie night!  Watch a movie with me!  Crossroads (1986).  Sorry Grace, but this movie made me cringe.  I watched the whole thing, but I wanted it to end so bad.  First off, music is not religion, but knowledge: either intellectual like a person who fluently reads and plays from transcriptions, or emotional like what Mary does.  Like what you do, Grace.  What you do with that knowledge is spiritual.  This movie does portray that.  But poverty and homelessness isn't romantic nor glamorous: it sucks.  I suppose it does make you appreciate music, but it's not necessary.  Whatever happens, don't ever turn to the enemies of God for help and protection.

Whoops, I slipped!  Your next gig is Knoxville, then Bear Shadow!  If you go, that will confirm you don't really give a shit about being married to me, and I will start looking somewhere else for a wife.  I'm not the devil, Honey.  I'm the demolition man, and I want to marry you.  Oh, but she wants to be a star!  She already is a star.  What she really wants is to be idolized, and THAT is the devil's way.  Don't you care about your band, Honey?  If you kept them streaming and away from the venue, not only would you help keep them away from trouble but also give them a living.  Sure, they would die for you...  Is that what you want?
