I had worked in software development and was amazed we had as few problems as we did. The plan was for Tina to work on the design for the Hydrogen cell while Beth, Amy, Becky, Adam, and I debugged. She believed that we could build her prototype within six months.
After she finished that, the fusion generator would be next. She had already reconstructed all of her research from memory. Production difficulties were all that stood in her way.
When we went to bed that night the girls surprised me by wanting to talk about something other than their projects. They wanted to talk wedding and I groaned inwardly. While I was looking forward to the actual event, I wanted nothing to do with the planning. I figured our mother and Lucy would want to do most of it anyway.
I managed to restrict my involvement to offering my opinions on what they decided but only when asked for my comments. I finally managed this by telling her that they were much better at these things than I could ever hope to be and I was afraid I�d screw something up. Being female, this wasn�t a difficult concept for them to grasp.
The planners would include more than our parents, however. There would actually be two weddings. The first would be here and Connie would be the only bride. The second would be on Hog Cay and she would be joined by the other four ladies.
Dee and Jane would be in on that one but Jackie refused to even mention it to her parents. Dad was still trying to figure out how to find someone to perform the second ceremony.
I woke up in an interesting position. I was spooned against Beth�s shapely butt with my cock snugly resting against her tight and juicy snatch. The temptation was just too much to resist and it was a simple task to get the right angle and probe the subject deeper.
The little vixen had been playing possum on me because as I slid home she moaned �I was beginning to think you�d never wake up. I was going crazy with that thing resting there and not doing anything!� She was so horny that before long I was on top and she was begging for a nice hard country fucking. There�s nothing like a vigorous morning workout to start the day!
Tina reminded me while we were showering with Beth that I had been neglecting some people. In particular she felt that I had been neglecting Connie, Rhonda, and Jackie too much lately. She had even named them in the order that they had lacked attention.
�We appreciate all the attention you�re giving us� she said �and we love it but we have to share. Connie and Rhonda are moving in tonight and so is Jackie. Her folks know about it, too. They didn't even care! Can you believe it?�
I slid into her from behind and cupped her breasts in my palms. As I began to stroke I whispered in her ear between nibbles �she'll find all the love she can handle right here, babe.�
From then on I always woke up between two different but gorgeous females. They insisted on alternating who claimed the spot on each side of me. What a wonderful idea!
Tina thought it was neat that the person who I believed to be the love of my previous life was to be my �official� wife but I was worried about it. �I hope none of you are angry about her being the legal one� I explained. �I love you all equally and I hate the fact that in this society I can�t show it openly. When one of you is missing its like part of me is missing. When I�m with all of you I feel complete for the first time in my life.�
Tina hugged me tightly and wiped her eyes as she told me it wasn�t strange at all. In fact, it was exactly how she felt. �I would miss anyone in the group who left us very much� she said �but if any of you ever leave I would be devastated.� After the other four agreed I was attacked again.
Friday�s game turned out anticlimactic. While Christian County had a big and fast line, they couldn�t recover quickly enough when they were faked out of position. By the time they figured out what we were up to the score was 28-0.
After that they did manage to score but never got close and we ended up winning 41-24. Next week we would be playing for the state championship, something that had never happened at our school. We found out after the game that our opponent would be St. Ignatius.
They were another perennial power who had lost a close game for the title the previous year. Our coach was cautiously optimistic because he believed that we matched up to them very well. We still hadn�t used some of our new plays and a few of them he believed would be effective.
Next week would be a short one with the game being played on Thanksgiving Day. To save our energy the coaches were only doing drills on all of our plays with no contact next week. This had been my best game so far. Most of the plays the coach had designed opened up a rushing lane in the middle and allowed me to get four sacks and cause two fumbles. I was able to recover one of them but the other one bounced out of bounds for a fifteen yard loss. Pete had over 200 yards rushing and two interceptions.
I had a wonderful surprise waiting at home. All five of my girls were lined up for inspection when I opened the door. All of them were nude and I just had to follow those neatly manicured arrows pointing to heaven. My mouth began watering immediately and it wasn�t long before I was on my back sampling and being ridden like Secretariat.
The ones not on board for a ride at the moment had �clean-up duty� and did such a good job I couldn�t taste anything put their delicious juices on the second pass.
After a while we reluctantly ended the session so we could work on our projects. We walked in on Adam in the computer room unannounced and found him working hard but not on the computer. He was on the floor with Lin on his face and Amy happily riding his impressive erection. They didn�t hear us come in so we watched the action for a bit but got a bit antsy ourselves by the time they noisily finished.
I was sitting in a chair with Rhonda impaled and bouncing in my lap and a tasty nipple clamped in my lips. We weren�t quite finished and it was difficult to concentrate when Adam latched onto her other breast while the other girls offered suggestions and critiqued my technique.
They finally relented and helped me send a large present into Rhonda�s twitching twat by licking my balls. The other two had dropped in to give Adam a much deserved fuck break and explained that they had only been there for an hour. I guess that accounted for Adam�s dazed look.
We sent the horny helpers for coffee and got down to work. We were still hard at it when our visitors from last night returned and found us still naked but working. They must have felt out of place because all four were as nude as us in seconds. When Lin and Amy noticed how Adams eyes locked on to the pussy art I got the impression that he would be seeing some designs of his own very soon.
Thanksgiving Day dawned cool but lovely. I was toasty warm inside Jackie by then but the day got even better. St. Ignatius respected us more than I thought they would.
Three plays into the game we were discussing it in the defensive huddle. These guys were scared of us! If you�ve ever played football you realize that if you feel fear, you might as well go on home. You could see it in their eyes, the way they darted around as if expecting bad things to happen.
We didn�t disappoint them and won going away 38-7. The starters didn�t even play the fourth quarter and spent our time enjoying winning our school�s first ever state championship in any sport.
After the wildest celebration I had ever been a part of we headed home for dinner with a lot to be thankful for. Those who had stayed behind had been busy in two locations. There were complete feasts ready in my place and the folks�.
My bunch reminded me several times not to eat too much. After the gathering broke up I found out why. The crafty cuties had found matching cheerleader outfits and burst out of the bedroom to begin performing routines for me.
I thought the best part of the outfit was the lack of any cloth under those short skirts, especially when one of them would occasionally bend over and flip the back up to expose her perfect ass as the others cheered for me to fuck her.
When I complied they cheered me on until I made a deposit. This went on for quite some time, until I complained about the lack of visible tits. This produced a very entertaining cheerleader strip-tease and a new routine where they bent over backwards to get nailed from the front.
They didn�t think that one through very well. It�s just too hard to keep your balance while getting fucked that hard. They improvised using an ottoman and pillows for support. Later they explained that that position was extremely enjoyable because their clits got an amazing amount of friction.
The weekend involved a fair amount of studying. Tina, myself, Adam, Connie, and Rhonda would be starting our flying lessons on Monday and wanted to be prepared so we picked up some books to learn some of the basics.
We knew that we�d have to go through a ground course before any real flying started. The twins, as well as Adam and I had discussed signing up for auto mechanics also but after Tina told us her plans for changing the manner in which they were powered we changed our mind.
Her concept was hydrogen power and a fuel injection system (something rarely used yet). We would need to learn the basics of hydraulic systems though.
Dad had picked up a cabin cruiser so the twins and I could begin to teach some basic small craft skills on the river. They would be very basic since the open ocean is totally different but we could give them a start.
I awakened Monday morning with a start and found the girls staring at me in awe. I was forced to return her gaze and we simultaneously said �it wasn�t a dream!�
Tina�s lovely shoulder length blond hair now reached to her waist and she seemed to have a glow about her that I hadn�t seen before. Below her waist I could see that her pubic artistry was missing.
I blinked and said �ok, I see things have changed. What happened to me?� Their only reply was to lead me to the full length mirror that was our closet door.
I could only gasp and stare as I took in the sight. I noticed the obviously enhanced muscles which had changed from large to bulging and I was also completely hairless other than my head. �Coffee first, then talk� I whispered. Tina just nodded mutely and followed.
We got settled and the girls pleaded with me to go first. We all sat back down and everyone poured some coffee before I began. �I�m going to tell you what I remember and have everyone fill in the gaps. We were in a meadow when Forseti appeared. The God of justice reinforced the point that we were to make the destroyers pay for their misdeeds. I believe our makeovers came from Nerthus (Mother Earth), though I didn�t realize it at the time. She appeared next and gave us the task of beginning the restoration of the world to its previous beauty by utilizing Tina�s creations to eliminate pollution. Frey (Fruitfulness and growth) appeared next and he gave us the task of making every land on earth self-sustaining by use of our inventions. What he said made sense too. Without hunger and thirst mankind will be much more likely to survive without war. The most important part to me was the time we spent with Sjofn (Goddess of Marriage and Love) and Var (God of Contracts, especially marriage). It makes perfect sense to me that the matchmaker would join us. The greater significance is Var. We are bound together more than any marriage ceremony could ever hope to accomplish. The vows we exchanged are more sacred than any other. If we ever doubted how much we were in love, those thoughts are now proven groundless.�
Tina hugged me tight and said �We never doubted our love Matt, and I think you�re right about the changes in us. I even have an idea how to help accomplish the goal Frey set for us. I had a friend who developed a substance that when applied to desert, allowed the ground to retain water. I even know how to create it since I helped her do it. What�s even better is that it�s simple and inexpensive to make. Even terrorists will have trouble finding followers among a well fed and happy population. Misery creates more zealots than religious fanatics.�
I had to laugh as remembered what Forseti suggested. �Imagine those fanatics being smited by an invisible light from the heavens when they attempt to stir up hate for their imagined oppressors. Many will think the hand of Allah was involved. By the way� I added �I love your hair and I mean both what is and is not there!�
There was a chorus of girlish giggles that I loved so much and Connie said �I like yours too and I hope it doesn�t grow back. No more hair in the way!� I would have loved to explore further but it was time for school.
Our new look got immediate reaction. At first people didn�t recognize us and when they did it was almost impossible for them to believe it. I had tried to wear loose clothes to hide my new build but my largest outfit was now tight in several areas. Luckily, Al had a few things at the house but I�d have to go shopping today.
I got a dirty look from my playmates when I laughed about all the new clothes that would be wasted. I couldn�t wear any of the things that the girls had already purchased for me.
The growth spurt was a problem. How do you explain more muscle over a three day weekend? The same problem arose with the girls since hair doesn�t get three feet longer in that short a time. Fortunately the excitement of the state championship diverted some of the attention. We called a short meeting of our group for that afternoon to explain the details.
Kathy had the greatest reaction to our busy night. She stared at us in awe as we related our meeting with Var �I hope you are soul mates� she said �because what you have done makes divorce impossible without offending her. I think you know what the result of that would be.�
We nodded and assured her we did before discussing the other aspects of our evening. I asked Angie and Adam for help with the logistical problems on the laser before I slapped myself in the head and turned to Tina. �Do you know what the main problem was?� I asked �I didn�t have enough power for mobility. It takes a lot of input juice to run the thing and the weight of the power source was too much for an aircraft. A fusion generator would solve the problem nicely!�
This revelation caused some excitement and I added more when I suggested the possibility of a Yule vacation on Hog Cay so we could see it for ourselves. I promised to ask the folks on the way to our flying lesson.
Pop was all for it because he was just as curious as we were. I got another surprise when he told us he was learning to fly too. The first week was ground school and since we had been studying it was pretty repetitive. I couldn�t wait until I could get airborne.
The girls and I were able to spend a nice quiet evening at home and I loved it. Rhonda caught me staring at them at one point over dinner and asked what I was thinking.
I smiled and replied �just that I�ve never been happier in either life. It�s still strange to realize that I�ve been married three times and never been in love until now. The fact that I�m blessed with five beautiful women whom I love very much is still hard to comprehend.�
The look I got told me that the dishes would wait until morning as she took my hand and led me to bed. The previous trimming made the completely hairless look not much different from my perspective but they seemed to really appreciate the difference on me.
They spent an almost excruciating amount of time investigating with their mouths before somebody (Tina) mounted up. Even then she claimed the change was wonderful. I hadn�t realized that the friction between my pubic hair and her bald pussies had sometimes been painful. If I had known I would have done something about it myself.
We were starting to cause some minor confusion at school. Everyone knew Connie and I were engaged so my letterman�s jacket making alternating appearances on Beth, Tina, Rhonda or Jackie and them holding my hand or kissing me occasionally was causing some talk.
It was also fairly noticeable that every other guy in our crowd seemed to have more than one girlfriend. Threesomes and foursomes are a very foreign concept for high-school students.
Because of stupid school rules I had to take PE even though I played two sports and the shower was an event. Guys normally don�t pay attention to other guys but some things can�t avoid notice. I just explained the lack of hair by saying �Connie likes it that way and what she likes, she gets.�
They just figured I was seriously whipped. I didn�t argue because I was. The girls caused an even bigger stir. Their shower companions had thought the arrow was cool, but shaving completely? A fifteen year old girl doesn�t normally want to shave something she hasn�t had for that long.
They used the same explanation and told me some of the girls looked thoughtful. The girls must have enjoyed last night because that evening they wanted the same treatment.
I showed them how much I appreciated their company by eating them until they screamed for mercy. They liked the bald Cyclops immensely and gave him a workout he wouldn�t soon forget before we finally collapsed for the night.
Flight school progressed well and all who had signed up were the proud owners of our pilot�s licenses before the Yule break. We flew to the Bahamas on a regular flight and were met there by the manager of the company we had hired to do the renovations.
He had brought one of the planes and a boat to ferry us back to the cay. I piloted the plane and the twins handled the boat. Within an hour of arriving we fell in love with the place.
To say it was perfect would be an understatement. This was paradise in its purest form. The existing buildings were ready to occupy and the additional quarters were over halfway completed. We were met by the foreman who showed us around the island. When we returned to the main house we noticed a small crowd and asked if they were some of his workers.
Authors note: Excuse the exaggerated dialect, it's purely for emphasis. I've been there and realize that they don't butcher the language quite this bad.
He got a good laugh at that and replied �no Mon, dey�s bin showin� up now an� den lookin fer work. De heard dat dere be new owners an� de be lookin fer you.�
After a brief consultation we decided that it might not be a bad idea to have a small staff here all the time. We probably wouldn�t need more than four permanent employees to keep an eye on things while we were away, but it wouldn�t be smart to leave the place empty. Dad told us he�d leave that to us and left to enjoy the island with our mother.
We set up an impromptu interview station in the living room and began. There were roughly thirty people and in this instance I didn�t hesitate using my ability to snoop. There were all sorts here, from the lazy and corrupt to the honest and hard-working.
Tina and I did the interviews. I kept silent and let her ask the questions. If I thought we should speak to the applicant further I would squeeze Tina�s hand under the table. When we were done there were four that I thought we could use.
On two instances I squeezed a bit too hard. While Adam passed on the information on who would be receiving the second interview she asked �what�s up, did you have the hots for those two or what?�
I smiled as I told her �they�re like us! We need to find out how and why.�
We took the two males first. Both had experience in security on large estates as well as basic maintenance skills and I was satisfied that they were honest.
We interviewed the girls together. They seemed surprised to still be here for some reason and I asked why. They answered in the typical Bahamian bastardized English �we figger dat de others be telling you we be crazy an� dat you should be sendin� us on our way.�
I stopped them with �you can lose the accent now. We know you don�t like to speak that way. Now, who were you and why are you here now?�
They exchanged a shocked look and one said �if we tell you that you�ll think we�re as crazy as everybody else does.�
I surprised them with a laugh �not necessarily� I said �but I�ll promise anyway. No matter what you say, you�re hired. I�ll put it in writing if you�d like but my word is good.�
They sighed and gave us the story �I�m Trina Jameson and this is my sister Twyla. We�re identical twins, as I�m sure you�ve guessed, and were formerly law professors at NYU.� Twyla finished �at least until New York blew up. So, do we still have a job?�
They started to leave and Tina stopped them with �where do you think you�re going? We haven�t even introduced ourselves yet, sit!� When they had, she continued. �Meet Matt Sussmann, presently boy wonder millionaire and previously an underappreciated electronics engineer. I�m Tina Sussmann. I used to be Tina Finch, engineer and inventor before the world blew up and sent me back to the love of my life. Now, who�s crazier, you�or us?�
When they could talk again they started at the same time and then Trina was elected spokeswoman. �We�ve heard of Tina Finch so I suppose that makes it true, extremely hard to believe, but still true nonetheless. It also gives us some hope that what happened before won�t happen again. We thought that we were alone and if that had been the case then we didn�t have much hope. What can we do?�
I had some ideas. �For starters� I suggested, �get those law degrees again. Then build your credentials so that there can be no question of your qualifications as jurists when you�re appointed to the court.�
Trina asked the obvious �what court� and I said with a smile �the court. You�re going to replace O�Connor and Rehnquist on the Supreme Court. All we have to do is convince them to retire earlier than planned, or in Rehnquist�s case, retire before he dies. You�ll know what�s at stake better than anyone when a case comes before the court. I got so sick of justices who put things in the Constitution that weren�t there I couldn�t stand it. What we need are justices who can limit themselves to ruling only on cases the Constitution covers and who can read the words contained in it.�
They loved that idea. Trina commented �that would be nice. I remember that ruling on eminent domain. It made me wonder if they had been smoking crack when they wrote the decision. The majority opinion was so unconstitutional it was ridiculous.�
We had to outline our entire plan after that but when we were done they were both solidly on board. Both were sixteen and on their own since being turned out of their homes for being nuts. I asked where they went to school and it turned out to be the same place they taught.
I asked if they wanted to go back and got a negative. What they wanted was Harvard but couldn�t afford it. They were ecstatic when I told them that they could now.
Twyla said �if she wasn�t here (referring to Tina) I�d kiss you!� Tina smiled and said she had her permission. Trina snatched me out of my chair and laid a very nice one on me before her sister took over. She glued herself to me from head to toe and did a much more thorough job. She added her tongue to the act and left me almost breathless.
Trina commented to Tina �I apologize for my sister. She always was the hot blooded one and we�ve been without male companionship for a very long time. For her five years has been like an eternity.�
As I was getting my air back I heard Tina say �do you mean to tell me that neither of you have been laid in five years?�
Twyla sadly replied ��fraud so, and I�m so horny I could explode!�
Tina shook her head and said �Matt, you�ve got to help these poor girls out. Maybe if the others help we can get them caught up a bit.�
The twin ladies were overjoyed. Trina said �you�d do that for us?� and her sister added �it�s better than you think, sis. Matt�s got a Boa in his pants!�
I pulled Tina aside and asked �are you sure about this babe? I wanted to spend some time alone with all of you while we�re here. Maybe we should ask Gene and George instead.�
She gave me that impish grin and said �sounds good.� We asked the girls and pointed out the twins to them. We asked them if they minded and got an enthusiastic �not at all� from them both.
Gene and George didn�t complain, though they did bring company along for the adventure. Gail and Angie had made the trip and were happily included.
Before they left we decided that for the next year they would be in charge of the island. After that year was up they would find replacements and take their SAT�s before applying to Harvard. If whatever scholarship money they received wasn�t enough we would furnish the rest. Both were concerned that our doing this would cause problems later but I didn�t think they�d need our help.
If they did we�d give them what they needed in cash and call it severance pay. Tina discovered that the girls had very few belongings and had a fit. As soon as they were out of sight she made the rounds and soon had a few more outfits borrowed for them but still wasn�t happy. Our mom soon had a shopping excursion planned for the morning. Tina and I spent the evening with our future mates.
The week went by much too fast and it was a sad parting. We promised to return for spring break and invited them to the wedding. They could return with us when we came back for the real one.
School was actually exciting and more taxing when we returned. I hoped we weren�t letting too much information out in Physics. Poor Mr. Thompson seemed to be learning more from Tina than he was teaching. To his credit, he was ecstatic about it and marveled at what she was doing. He even solemnly promised not to tell a soul what she was up to and jumped in to help as much as he could.
I still didn�t get much out of English, calculus and history, having had them in college. I did enjoy them more now because the class included a lot more of my friends. In fact, all of them were in them.
Other than Physics, my favorite class was music. Part of it was the teacher but I really did enjoy singing, even if I did have to do the bass solos again. At least this time I could help influence the music. The Beatles and Cat Stevens were a lot more entertaining than Simon and Garfunkel, at least to me. I could sing ok before but now I amazed myself. I found that I could sound like whoever I wanted to as long as they weren�t a soprano and female.
At last it was baseball season, and I had the great enjoyment of watching Rhonda be the first girl in the state to make the varsity team. That she did it as a freshman was even more amazing.
Paula was still playing soccer and it was almost impossible for another team to score on her. She still had Sue, Janie and some others who were on the youth league on her team and to her delight, had been joined by a new member. Connie had tried out and made the team also.
Our school went from no championships to three in one year. Both the baseball and girls soccer teams went undefeated.
Our down-time hadn�t been wasted either. The prototype hydrogen cell was completed and tested to Tina�s enthusiastic approval. The second one was installed in a 1965 Mustang that our dad had rescued from a junkyard. It was one of several he had been collecting for me as a surprise.
Each one was identical to the first and all were black on black and had four speed manual transmissions. The new fuel system and engine modifications gave them over a third more horsepower than the original 289.
These were to be sixteenth birthday presents for everyone in the group. Angie and Gail each received Camaros with the same changes. Under the hood they all looked like a normal (if souped-up) engine. The pisser was that even though I was the oldest I wouldn�t be sixteen for almost a year.
Year 6- 1975 10th Grade
A couple of weekends before spring break we decided to play a little music and were having a blast until Connie decided to sing a Joan Jett song. That�s when it hit me.
I suddenly knew who the extra instrument belonged to. Connie was so good that I managed to contain myself until she was done before revealing my bombshell. Bedlam ensued and after all the excited chatter a trip to LA was quickly planned and then put on hold.
We had forgotten one small item. LA is a big place and we had no idea where she lived. We weren�t even sure if her last name was Larkin or Jett since none of us were sure when she had changed it to her mother�s maiden name. It took a week to track her down and another to get a plan together.
We had planned a surprise for her and intercepted her on the way home from school. There was no mistaking the pretty girl walking down the sidewalk in the middle class neighborhood where we had found her. I stepped from the shrubs and blocked her way, flanked on either side by Connie and Tina.
She scowled at us and raised her eyebrows before asking us what we thought we were doing and who the hell we thought we were.
I smiled as I introduced my companions and myself before ending with �the only thing you really need to know about me is that I love rock �n� roll and I hate myself for lovin� you. That last part is a lie though.�
Joan was made of sterner stuff than some of the girls had been when confronted with the truth. She just smiled and said �you too? Cool! Do you live around here?�
We were covering some of the background when Connie noticed Joan scowling again and asked what was wrong. Joan nodded her head towards a group of girls across the street and sighed �those bitches are what�s wrong. They�ve been raggin� on me every since we moved here �cause of the way I dress and act.�
As if on cue we heard �look! The lezzie�s with two of her girlfriends!�
Connie and Tina just shook their heads but Connie was smiling. �Hey Joan, wanna shut �em up?�
She was all for it but when Connie told her how to do it she was more shocked than when we revealed our secret.
�You�ve gotta be kidding! Besides, isn�t he your boyfriend or something?� Tina laughed before cluing her in and then it was Joan who smiled as she studied me. �What do you say Matt, are you up for it?� I didn�t tell her how up for it I was, or exactly which part was �up� before wrapping my arms around Joan and kissing her.
You know the old clich� about seeing fireworks? It would take a professional pyrotechnic crew days to put together the show I saw. She molded her body to mine and moaned as she pressed herself against the problem she was causing. I don�t know how long we went at it but Connie tapped us on the shoulder to tell us our audience was gone.
Joan broke the kiss just long enough to rasp �tell �em to get their asses back here, I ain�t done yet� before starting again.
After another few minutes she reluctantly let me go and panted �I have to stop before I rape your man right here on the street! Damn!� I gave her one last small one before managing to say �wow! You do realize that we�re gonna have to wait a few minutes before I�m able to walk, don�t you?�
Three sets of eyes immediately checked out the reason. It didn�t help. Neither did their comments on what they�d like to do with it.
The folks had rented a furnished condo just a block away from Joan�s house so when she told us she didn�t need to check in because nobody was home at her place we headed straight there.
She about shit when we gave her the guitar, in fact it looked like she was hotter than when we had kissed. She gave us all a long one to say thanks and left the girls as weak-kneed as she left me.
She played that thing until it was time for her to leave but took us up on our offer to spend the night at our place. No one got any sleep. We didn�t need it and she didn�t seem to want any. In the morning I felt like I needed to ice my dick. It was that sore.
Saturday was spent talking about her musical career and what she would do differently. Joan had mixed feelings about recreating �The Runaways�. On the one hand they had been an inspiration for a generation of female musicians and it had been fun.
On the other hand they had been unable to get the respect they had desperately strived for and it had been difficult. In the end, this more than anything had been the reason the group fell apart.
I felt that the main problem had been poor management and she agreed. �Fowley was a lousy manager. Maybe a better one would have been able to get us better recognition and helped us over the rough spots. I think we started out with the wrong people in the band, too. It was like, �who can we talk into it� instead of �whose good enough and dedicated enough to cut it�. Hell, the only right choice was Sandy and she and I started the damn band!�
Just then a name suspiciously popped into my head and I smiled. Not a good move when Joan was so pissed and she let me know it with �what�s so fuckin� funny studly?�
I kept grinning as I said �ever hear of Alannah Myles? A little bird just whispered in my ear that she�d be a perfect fit.�
Joan just raised an eyebrow and said �if it was a �Loki bird, I�m listening. Alannah is pretty damned good. Did the birdie happen to mention a bass player?�
He did, and I related it. Joan liked Kathy Valentine�s bass playing too. �She rocked with the Go-Go�s!� she practically gushed before looking like somebody let the air out of her balloon and lamenting �I don�t think I can play with Sandy though. Knowing about her lung cancer and brain tumor would be too much to deal with.�
This time the girls earned the glare when they laughed and I left them to explain while I got a drink.
When I returned I got another kiss from Joan that practically made me come in my pants before she tried to get me to take care of Sandy �right fuckin' now�.
I had to explain to her several times that it wasn�t possible to cure someone who wasn�t sick yet but eventually she got the message. Before we left we promised to set the group up with a manager that would promote them as more than a novelty act and to make sure they got the chance to play for some large crowds.
Material wouldn�t be a problem for the group. Between the four of them they had enough for several albums already. The girls promised Joan that we would check on Alannah and Kathy for her but I had a feeling that they�d be glad to hear from us. I�d bet they were familiar with our situation.
Joan was both outspoken and curious when she was fully updated on our group and asked "what the fuck? Are you supposed to take over the world or what? So far you've got gambling, real estate, computers, energy, and maybe transportation. Now you're adding music and you're supposed to get elected president. What the fuck is left?"
A good point and one we'd been wondering about. So far, we'd just been going in whatever direction we seemed to be led. The music wasn't that hard to understand. In fact, I thought we might want to record a couple of albums ourselves. Music could be a great influence on the thought processes of those who listened to it. If a song resonated with the thinking of the audience then the artist would be associated with the idea. If that were to happen then the listener would be more likely to cast their ballot for the guy that believed the way they did.
We kicked the idea around some and even added the possibility of a film or two based on what we'd like to see happen. Hel, it couldn't hurt. After one last hug, we headed home.
