We Never Close

Steve Coel

True story.

An uncle of mine was resident in London.

Went out with his girlfriend 
to listen to music 
and have fun.

First venue too loud, crowds, no good.

Stayed 20 minutes.

Second venue, 200 yards away. 
Too loud, crowds.

Stayed 20 minutes.

Third venue, 200 yards away.

Crowds, mellow atmosphere. 
Went in. 
Stayed all night, changed life.

1st venue - Rolling Stones

2nd venue - Yardbirds

3rd Venue - Sonny Terry and Brownie Maghee.

You know each venue probably 
changed his life in some way. 
It certainly left him with a great story.

I'd love to do a similar 1/2 mile walk today.

But what would be the chances 
of having a similar life experience like that?

Q: Where does happiness happen?

A: [ Laughing ] In my stories? Somewhere else most of the time!

You're right though, ( much of the ) happiness can really disappear in some of my stories.

That doesn't mean it never happened, or won't happen ever again.

Perhaps there is a different happiness to be had though ( for some )?

Like, why so many drugs?

Certain things, no certain places, I find can generate a greater tolerance for the shit that seems to be happening in a story.

So, maybe my characters can find a different level of happiness, or state of mind I can't.

Now that that would be weird, wouldn't it?

I create them ( the characters ), but then fail to understand them! [ Laughs ].
