...........Here we have a 'typical' rock star that can basically have anything he wants, Helen tries to keeps him in line, he looks at the relationship between his brother and Brandon and sees that there is no shallowness, they definitely have something together that he envy's, meanwhile he notes that the life he has been living is plastic in comparison there is no love, just trysts. Yet he try may attempt 'all sides' to seek his paradise. I think Eric is str8 and he is only seeking happiness.
