    This was originally intended to be one of the chapters in "Joe Dick's Favourite Records", but I cut it because I wasn't happy with the ending. This version's been remastered and remixed for better fidelity.

    Summary

    This place is hot as balls. At night there are no stars. Nobody can smile. Everybody's an asshole. You can’t even express anger with your face, here. Fights seem inevitable under these circumstances, Joe figures. He’s bouncer as much as he is bartender.

    Summary

    He blows the smoke across the table while meeting Billy’s unreadable eyes. “We’re a band, fuckface. We share everything,” he says, and keeps the cigarette for himself.

    Billy shakes a new one out of the pack, dangles it right in the valley of his pink lower lip, and tosses the pack to the side. He eyes Joe’s hand and the curling smoke. “Got a light?” he asks, dry as kindling.

    Or: Billy and Joe after the Regina gig, drunk at a bar. One foot in the gutter.

    Summary

    There’s a truth to Joe’s lies, like one of those photo realist paintings you can’t help but admire because you know it’s not real. The only thing Joe Dick never lied about was being a liar.

    Summary

    "...yeah, fuck you, nice friend, there, Joe,” Pipe’s saying while Joe’s repeating, “You’ll laugh, you will, you’re laughing on the inside,” in a relentless syncopation of run-on sentences like Gilbert and Sullivan stoked on coke and road rage.

    Just another moment on the road to nowhere.

    Summary

    The nobody on the stool sits in the middle of the laughable, derivative pretty-boy noise and makes something new from the limited resources of six steel strings and twenty-one frets. That’s the kind of creation that comes when the exiled look around at the scraps and debris of an already-created world and have to figure out how to turn flint and sticks and sparks into fire.

    Billy Tallent: one room, two guitars, an empty notebook. The whole place is sweet with the taste of him, the smell of his presence and of the absence he can’t bring himself to fill. It’s this that makes Salerno’s nostrils flare like he’s scenting the wind. The bitterness of this absence is so sweet, so poignantly warm and sharp and spent, like wine left overnight in a glass, that Salerno feels a little drunk. It will be easy to track.
