The day passed by and it was another fruitless day in the life of Blue Spark, he met his friend at Panera bread and they had talked for another hour outside the place. Blue then went to a vinyl store nearby and walked through the alphabet of records and found an interesting LP from the 1980's by the Divinyls, he liked the song Pleasure and Pain.

After venturing out of the house, Blue took a nap as he tended to do and was interrupted around 4:00 by his mother who wanted to know if he need to be up for his gig. He told her that the show started at 9 and he would probably go on around 11. She told him that she would attend the show. Tate was never excited that his mother was going to the show because whatever women he saw, she would run interference on them. Also he tended to not move around on stage as much.

It wasn't like the band Blue Spark had that much of a following, they played a lot of the 70's and 80's post punk music like X, The Jam, Buzzcocks, Damned with an occasional orginal thrown in for good measure. What seemed to draw the crowd in was their cover of Lana Del Rey's Cruel World. It seems you slip some profanity into a song and it becomes great in this day and age, so much for Marty Balin getting a taste of the real world when he went down on you.

He hated having his naps ruined but his mother was looking out for him and he already had slept 9 hours overnight.

Tonight their would be 5 or 6 bands playing and the usual assortment of singer/songwriters, emo bands, some rock bands and an occasional poet. His band members were with him for a few years now.

Trent was the bass player, he was kind of a limited musician but more of a fan of music as bass players go. Darrell was the drummer he was in a band that did R & B at weddings but really was the success of the band. Blue played rhythm guitar and sang while Evan was the guitar player, who was a big Rage Against the machine fan and liked shredding on the original songs.

Blue was a towering force on stage though at 6'7 and probably under 200 pounds, with his blue hair and his ripped up clothes. He looked like a bad ass but he really never got into a fight in his life, and avoided violence at all costs.

He opened up his Tidal account on his computer and put his head phones on was playing the Black Pumas Colors, why this band was not the biggest band of the day was beyond him, but it got him motivated as did the band Chvrches.

Trent had called to go over the set list which they would open up with Blue Spark by X as always then play How do You like Me now by the Heavy... they debated playing Spanish Bombs and So Lonely but agreed to play both. They kind of ran the band together.

It was beautiful day today at 75 degrees and no humidity so the turnout tonight should be decent if they can get 100 people that would be great.

The band was what got Blue out of bed, he had no real other interests. He was not that into video games. He never went on Social Media. His friends were Pat and his bandmates. He never had a real girlfriend, women were scared by him and his look. If he had any interests besides music it probably would be English mysteries and he was a huge fan of the writer Elizabeth George who is an American author who writes British Mysteries with recurring characters.

Blue was intrigued by Europe and particularly the UK as he did like the Jam and the Clash and their songs created fantasy images of those places. What was it like to be in a tube station at midnight?

Sometimes Blue felt he was born in the wrong time period. He was not interested in a lot of the instant gratifications of today's world. He did not need "likes", he just needed to be stimulated with creativity.

Tonight was going to change how his life would be for a long time.
