Yeah. [ grimly. it's been a long time since he had to worry about that, though. instead he considers the rest of the question. ]

I got a band - Corroded Coffin? [ not like they're big, but billy likes metal. chances are they came up in conversation once or twice here and there. ] We're good enough to get gigs here and there. If we went out of town, there were usually a few guys who clocked my bandana and signaled they were down.

[ he pulls a hand from his pocket to wobble it in a s-so kind of way. then folds his arms again. ]

Usually sucked, no names, no numbers, had to be extra careful, but beggars can't be choosers. I can at least take some solace in the fact that I did not die a virgin.
