Thunderbowl (2004)

“Jeremy, get up! Where were you last night?” He was walking back and forth in front of me.

“Don’t start telling me Thunderbolt—”
“Thunderbowl, Dad.”
“Whatever. We didn’t raise you to be a… a guitar player.” His voice was getting louder and louder.
“Dad, you don’t understand. Something ha...ppens when I’m playing music—”
“Yeah, I’ll say something happens. You start forgetting about real life. I should never have bought you that guitar. I’m going to put my foot down. You have to get home at a sensible hour or quit the band.”
