Dammit Mr. Knobs..
I just finished reading your groupie story. I started earlier today at work and at 5:30 rushed straight home to finish it. You have a very compelling style.
Man, what a ride.
I don't mean to get all gushy on you but at the end I feel a certain 'fullness', or maybe an 'emptiness', it's hard to say. It's been a long time, a LONG time since i've been really wrapped up into a story like this. For a time there, I too was uncomfortably in love with Gail, empatheically concerned for Janis (any idea how she turned out?) and intrigued by Red.
I almost feel like I should cry, although I'm not entirely sure why.
Thanks for sharing. For some reason, I really needed to read that.
