QUINN

What do you know about UK’s roadies and his thug music?

GUNTER

There UK’s group man bunch of Thugs.

QUINN

GUNTER

There an indie like your group you manage.

QUINN

Do they do covers?

GUNTER

Yes, with their own originals mixed

QUINN

So are they like a gang?

GUNTER

Guess you could say that, man.

QUINN

So they do that gangster music?

GUNTER

Yes, there following is growing their groupies act like thugs.

They do the same things some GOTH MUSIC does they have

their own type of mosh pits, working up a frizzy slamming each

other pushing and shoving. Charges where dropped on them

when several people died in human wave pushing each other

back and forth enough they found a lot of shoe left behind.

QUINN

I remember it happened, now that you reminded me. CRAZY

GUNTER

You've bet?

QUINN

Yes, that happened last year

OCEAN PARK – AN HOUR LATER

As QUINN sat in the park alone listening to some Rock and Roll music, it all reminded him of things that happened before.

He watches the Sunset as it sunk into the bay.

QUINN

What do I do now Universe? Speaking out often in his meditation, but like usual he never had the answers straight forward

Quinn could feel this was going to take another intervention like when he was in Los Angeles things started out bad then changed by his own hand, he made it stop.
