I nearly choke on my salmon as Samson meows loudly.

Jesus Christ.

Duncan in makeup and leather... with a piercing... He was fuckinghot.

My cock twitches with confirmation, as I focus on stuffing my face with more sushi as the host drones on about drama behind the scenes.

Apparently Issax was a bit of a hothead.

Aloose canon,I realize.

As if fate has a disturbed sense of humor, they show the band in the studio, recording the tune.

And I’m surprised to see the vocals aren’t some one hit wonder.

Isaax and Duncan stand side by side, headphones smashing their hair to their heads, singing.

Those growly, deep vocals... fuck.

Duncan cansing,too.

I reach for my phone, Samson swatting at me as I do so.

“Oh shush!” I chastise him. He mewls in defeat, and I can’t help but rip a piece off the corner of one of my tuna sashimi pieces.

“Okay, that’s it, though!” Samson purrs as he devours the small piece of fish in one bite.

I pull upHollow Pointe’s discography. I peruse every article on Duncan McKay specifically that I can find as the host drones on about Issax and his antics.

Drugs, sex, and of course, fucking his bandmates girlfriends behind their back.

Typical shit. Why anyone thinks this kind of crap is groundbreaking is beyond me.

My search only lists Duncan ononetrack.Loose Canon.

A failed solo album comes up in the results.

Apparently, like the rest of his band mates, my stand-in drummertriedto launch his own singing career, but according to Rolling Stone, the release of Duncan McKay’sHeartbreakerwas canceled before it could debut. Issax released his own solo album, and not long after the band called it quits.

I drop my phone, grabbing my box to finish my dinner, noting the sun has officially gone down.

I watch intently as the host of the show continues to show off footage ofHollow Pointein their prime.

OfDuncanin his prime.

When I’m done with my sushi, Samson jumps into my lap, creating a furry ball of warmth as he purrs away.

Sated, warm, and comfortable, I close my eyes as the sounds ofHollow Pointeon VH1 lull me into darkness.

The unmistakable melody ofLovin’On The Runechoes in the darkness, and there is only the spotlight.

I’ll take my lovin’ on the run

Across the great divide

Bring you to the finish line just to make you come

Then I’ll take my lovin’ on the... on the run
