You're working the door at a local bar in North Carolina. Just checking IDs and breaking up fights. And your career plan is to study criminal justice because your ultimate goal is to become a homicide detective.

You aren't relying on complex guitar solos or intricate time signatures to carry a song, because frankly, you physically can't. You just don't have the chops for it yet. So you have to rely entirely on the narrative. The story has to do all the heavy lifting.

• Your career plan is to study criminal justice because your ultimate goal is to become a homicide detective
• Which is a pretty intense career path on its own
• It's also a story about the absolute whiplash of sudden fame and the very real struggle to remain human inside a giant corporate apparatus
• It was never the actual career plan for him ...
