Late at night, almost into morning, EJ is hanging with Sven Davidson in a bar in Silverlake. “How did that slasher film work out for Nicky?” EJ asks.

“Dude. It’s a fucking franchise. Unfortunately, she got gutted in the first one. We’re hoping she can come back in a dream or as a dead chick or something.”

“What about Panthers and Pathogens? Are you guys still big in Japan? How’s the wandering minstrel thing working out?”

“Fuck. Dude. The lute is a bitch. I miss my Fender P Bass. I miss rock and roll.”

“Why don’t you come play with us?”

“You guys got Spewing. The guy’s a mess, but he can play bass.”

“He’s cost us a lot of coin in the studio. Kurt’s sick of it.”

Out in his 1967 convertible LeSabre, Sven listens to the Thunderstick demo and says, “Sure. I’d do that gig.”

“Come meet us at A&M Studios tomorrow afternoon.”

Around noon the next day, Sven opens his closet, takes out three or four tunics and tosses them into the trash. He pulls out his old black leather motorcycle jacket, some black jeans, and an ashy black T-shirt with the sleeves cut off. He puts them on and drives over to A&M. The receptionist leads him through the hall into the control room. He’s in shock. “You guys are recording your first album in here? They gave you how much money? Panthers and Pathogens’ advance was ten grand—total. You’ve been recording for a month? Holy shit!”

Kurt, the Jovi, and EJ say, “The job is yours if you want it.”

“Yes, I want it.”

Sven goes home, calls the lead singer of Panthers and Pathogens, and says, “Not into it anymore.”

The lead singer says, “Me neither, but I’m no quitter.”
