The Boy Who Heard Music - Chapter 14 - Thumbnail

"The Method"

A lot of plot and theory in this chapter. Gabriel, Leila and Josh's group "The Glass Household" becomes a huge hit under the management of Rastus, Ray's old manager from Psychoderelict. Rastus now runs PlusBond, a multimedia company that is dubbed the "Grid" exactly as in Ray's unfinished rock work from the 1970's. The group's contract puts Leila in control of the Grid's pop-music content and she uses it to begin to make Ray's old "Grid" dream come true.

Meanwhile, Gabriel beats out Josh for Leila's hand but finds it difficult to keep up with her sexually and becomes an alcoholic and a web voyeur. While "Googling" his name, Gabriel discovers the pictures of himself being sexually abused as a child by the Sea Scouts, pictures that have spread all over the world via the Internet.

As usual great work with the thumnails and especially liked the Groucho reference.

Happy Holidays (whichever one you celebrate)!

Thanks David and Happy Holidays to you, too!

The Groucho reference may have come to mind because I've been watching the Marx Bros. Collection DVD's.
