Of course I'll never leave
1984, Southside Chicago. You start a band with some friends from school. You as the lead singer, Joey the lead guitar, Roxanne on guitar and backing vocals, Spike on the bass, Cindy on keyboard and your best friend Axel on the drums. And, of course, your brother Micky as the self appointed punk-dad and videographer of the band. That summer is hot and busy with beach trips to Lake Michigan, small gigs in pubs and a LOT of teenage angst. Your best friend Axel is so obviously in love with you and you're the only one who can't see it. You see it later. When things start going wrong. When Axel falls deep into self-destructive habits and is grasping at straws to get clean.
