“They messed with my horn, so it shouted racial slurs every time I hit the break!” While I don't condone that I have to admit Billy's nephews are pretty smart and creative. “It was hardly a threat, Bradly. It was a line from a song that was paraphrasing Shakespeare for fuck's sake, and they didn't say it, the Eagles did.” “What was the line?” Steve asked. Okay Steve I'll answer the question for you ( I hope Steve acknowledges that in the next chapter😄) "The more I think about old Billy was right let's kill all the lawyers ,kill em tonight" While I get Kenny's feelings what he's doing is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Oh man I'm so looking forward to Billy cross examination the human chimney

Yes, you witnessed it, but it would have happened the same way whether you were there or not..First off I totally agree with what Robert said what hell could Andrew have done anyway? So while I agree with what Robert said I once had a conversation with someone I know who likes to go on website where there are Camboys .He proceded to tell me they are a lot of very young Boys/Men that are from Columbia and nearby Latin American countries(probably mostly legal but who knows) I remember reading an article that spoke of the job market in Columbia being so bad that many of these young men do this to try to pay their way through college. I asked this guy "Aren't you taking advantage of these boys bad situation? And he said something similar to Robert "This would be happening anyway whether I do this or not" I guess my point is while there are big differences between Robert and the person I spoke with that statement can be used to rationalize if not bad behavior then less then good behavior. I'm sure Black has had Andrew checked out.If Andrew goes to Kyle and Black finds out expect Black's thugs to go to Andrew's island residence since he won't be there I worry that Andrew's parents might be in harms way

More often then not that would be a bad thing in this story It might be a good thing.

I have to agree with @Summerabbacat that Peter will not react well to what Justin will reveal.‘Don’t be stupid. Blokes don’t say those sort of things to each other!’ He sounds like an American male from the 40's or 50's.

Pretty good history lesson and good stuff with Gem and Nico getting to know each other. Some random weird thoughts (what else from me) I guess I wouldn't do well there since the way they describe the animal life there they don't seem to have their version of a pet dog. Now that they said there are no winged creatures there why do I get the thought one is going to show up?( How would they react to Browbeat?) Any explanation how they came up with New Australia? If the U.S. had anything to do with this they would surely call this place New America. A lot of old timers agrees people from Old Earth will eventually be back.Some foreshadowing there?Could that be part of the story? When they were speaking of having plenty of vegetables there. Any Pizza? Perhaps we could get Charlie to transport us and we can open up a pizza place there. That got me thinking no monetary system has been mentioned in this story do they have one?

Were you once in the business? It sounds like you're familiar with what roadies do.Jackson Browne wrote a song about roadies with the lyrics "They're the first to come and last to leave" You captured that part. This story could go so many directions. The story title is Roadie In Love and the first though is Kevin in love with Eric but after hearing more about Eric maybe it is not recipricated.Perhaps it Danny who is the roadie in love.He mentioned Kevin singing well .Some foreshadowing there perhaps.The main reason why I think it will still be Kevin and Eric is that they are ones with the hot pictures (But that's no guarantee of course) Lyrics are original for this story. Same copyright as story applies. (crumples up paper)Damn I almost had this song I was working on written now I have to come up with new lyrics

It would cost too much gas get there I think🤔

What Jem said about the Siffle and it's similarity to what's happening with the Orx now makes me wonder if they are being controlled by something unknown Jem and Nico are both giving off clues that they will be more then friends Since Master Terpin and Mister Sharples took Jem's suggestion I now think Orx will now try to board the ship BTW I went to my favorite seafood restaurant today........They didn't have Orx🤷‍♂️

If this one goes up to present day maybe you can mention casually (just in passing "cough, cough") About people being in there bar watching The Celtics win the NBA championship

Call me stupid I guess. In the previous story Pete's Bar and Grill was referred to as a classic dive bar.I didn't know it was a gay bar.Yeah it was mentioned that it was patronized by mostly men but thats most dive bars gay or straight . l looked again at the story were we supposed to know it was a gay bar?And it took me a minute to realize Eryk was Zippy. Some random thoughts. Most of us could have used a Aunt Sally in our lives growing up . "Boobala…darling…what on God's green earth made you think that log of his was gonna fit into your fireplace?" I'll say one thing for GA stories you find out all the cool metaphors "we are gonna sit and have a discussion about the gay facts of life." I know there have been books written on this topic I think the title would be (If it hasn't already been used) is "The Gay Birds And The Bees (What you parents didn't know to tell you). "Penis breath". Hard to believe that line was in the movie E.T. I was glad to see the word Epilogue? There are still some things to be written about like Uncle Pets health. Mikey and Eryk taking over the bar and maybe upgrading it. Mikey's sperm donor and incubator (They should be in prison) making an appearance. And maybe if you go far enough into the future Mikey and Eryk getting legally married. A very good everyman working class love story. BTW I wonder how Eddie Rabbitt would feel about his song being a title of a GA story?

Well obviously way soon to form any speculation but I'm going to anyway😄 The talk of the orc acting unusual traveling in packs where they hadn't before combined with talk of the weather being unusual my first reaction is Benteen is experiencing some sort of global warming of their own . I may be WAY!!!! off but that's the thought that came to me first

Another excellent chapter. Some random thoughts.BTW following @Parker Owens comment is a tall order and unlike me he has enough class to not brag about being first LOL. I'm still curious why Mr. Black allowed this interview he's only in it for profit and as far as I can see there is no profit in doing this. And also while Andrew of course would not mention Mr. Black in the book but the way he may describe him in the book might give a clue to someone reading it who he is. I remember reading something about how Asians are popular among this kind of clientele because even though they are men they can pass as teenagers. @Mikiesboy got that spot on. I believe the card Andrew gave to Dante will come into play.I'm thinking whoever bought Matt does not want him as a sextoy I think he(or she) wants to sell him at this market because Matt will fetch a lot of $$$$$. I'm picturing Dante calling Andrew to tell him he saw Matt at the market. This is very VERY small observation that isn't a big deal but Dante kept addressing Andrew by his first name like he was familiar to him and almost like a friend.I think it would have been more appropriate for Dante to call him "McCabe". If I were editing this I would have pointed that out........Hmm🤔 @kbois didn't did she?😄

Yeah because then it would have become a money laundering operation..........OK I'll go quietly now

Very insightfuI. I bet a lot of readers have had similar thoughts even if they don't agree the though was there. For reasons that would be inappropriate to state here I think we do go on in some way. The how and the what I have no idea

And that's a problem?" Grandma shot back."You can stand to lose a few pounds,so this will be good for you " "Come on, let's get moving, " Grandpa urged."Can't you see I'm wasting away?" "Fat chance, " Grandma replied. You could probably last a month without having another meal" Yep they are a long time married couple alright.

And they are the lucky ones they can sell thier house to pay to live there. What about the Seniors that don't have that option?

?

A few more thoughts managed to creep in my head.Judging by the title of the story and him helping out Chris (this time I got it right ) I guess Kevin is now a roadie. Is Deja Vu the opening act for the whole tour? Or just some dates? Would they be considered up and comers or already successful? I ask this because depending on what type of audience Deja Vu has can influence a lot of this. The story title suggests Kevin is in love with Eric (please not Chris) does Eric feel similar? Or is Kevin just a cute boy to him. And IF it is mutual is Eric popular with the girls? If so that might mean the band's manager might want them to be on the DL.But of course all of this spec might be irrelevant we'll see

You have put some of your characters through shit but in this case it seemed like "Let's get all out of the way in chapter one." You didn't say what age Kevin was so I guess it was 18 otherwise I don't think he would be allowed to live alone in the apartment at 17. If the Landlord knew Kevin had money from insurance then it serves him right what Kevin did before he left. Although I still wouldn't have done what Kevin did. The Landlord still got off cheap. It could have been Joe Walsh or Keith Moon imagine what they would have done. I was thinking If Eric is gay and saw Kevin three days in a row at his concerts no way in Hell he DOESN'T recognize him. I wonder if Mike is dicky toward Kevin because HE has a crush on Eric. The way you described Eric I can't wait to see his picture

Another story involving a band.This is in your wheelhouse. Is that a picture of the lead singer? Or the protagonist? Either way it makes picturing the story THAT much better

My sentiments exactly.I'm to to google "Canada Day " For what it's worth The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner-Overdrive were among my favorite groups And for some reason I have this stupid one one in my head I.once put a Canadian coin in a American parking meter...And a Mountie gave a ticket...DUH

There is one thing Justin hasn't considered yet and maybe Scott also but in his his case maybe he hasn't expressed it yet. Yes Peter has said these hurtful things without knowing about Justin. But he knows about Scott and Billy and since that time Peter at the worst has been at least civil to Scott and even borderline friendly. Of course it is for what Scott did for Justin but that would be a reason to think Peter would not disown Justin.One thing that would be good to know is did Peter keep saying these crude things about "poofters" after the incident? And I don't remember if it was his older brother ( think it was) who made that same comment at the time but I bet he kept making comments like that as he and Justin continued to grow up.That certainly wasn't good for Justin. There’s something else . . .’ Justin said to me as we neared the jetty. ‘What’s that?’ ‘Would you mind if I stayed for a little while? With you I mean?’ Why do I think a certain something is going to happen?🤔

That reminds me of a book I think in the 50's which later became a movie called Black Like Me. If I remember right the author took pill and did other stuff to make his skin black and made his hair afro like and this was in the South mind you. Thats not as dangerous as what Andrew is doing but it's up there.It turned out the stuff he did to made his skin look black led to him getting very ill. Oh and BTW......(sigh) congrats

“Freedom of expression, dickhead. I thought all you pigs knew the Constitution.” I don't care how Luis was acting that was a bit much. If that famous TV special "Scared Straight" had been called something else I bet some pseudo christians would have called their conversion camps that. “Do you think we can move on to the next chapter already? It's getting late, and I'm exhausted.” I love when you break the third wall😄 But you could have added "Besides I want to see what weinerdog has to say".....What? You don't think so?

SEE @kbois !@akascrubber knows about the same story.....
