The big night finally arrived. Les and Jimmy were going to be doing their first concierto in front of an audience. As they were preparing backstage, Jimmy asked, "Are tu nervous, Les?" Les said, "Maybe a little." Jimmy said, "I'm sure you'll be fine. Don't worry about what your dad said, all right?" Les said, "All right." Meanwhile, a boy about their age was attempting to enter the club. He was very dreamy. A lot of girls liked him, but sometimes his young face made it hard for people to take him seriously. The security guard said, "You have to be eighteen to enter this club. Do tu have an ID,...

For the siguiente two weeks, Les threw himself into practicing his música with Jimmy. He poured all the mixed-up feelings of starting a new life and worrying about whether they might succeed into his playing and singing, and even he could tell the difference in the amount of passion coming through, especially in the sad o painful songs. His improvement inspired Jimmy, who sounded better than ever, trying out new and más creative beats on his drums. Jimmy sometimes also talked and cracked jokes to an imaginary audience between songs. Venus and Mars remained the only audience to hear this, with Mars...

Les reluctantly took the phone and said, "Hello?" His father said, "Les, please come home. Why did tu run away?" Les said, "Dad, I didn't run away. I moved out. There's a difference." His father said, "I need tu at home." Les said, "No, tu don't. If I stayed, we'd just fight all the time. It's not good for either of us." He said, "If tu don't come inicial now, I'll call the police!" Les said, "Go ahead. Tell them your eighteen-year-old just left home. See how that works out for you." His father said, "Yes, tu are eighteen. That means it's not child abuse if I beat the shit out of you!" Les...

Les went back to his father's house only long enough to pack up his Les Paul, his record collection, and a number of other essentials and favourite possessions, and then he left. Luckily, his dad wasn't home. His father often worked late, and would always impressed upon Les the importance of doing so, even though he was usually in a worse mood when he came inicial after working too long. Les wondered if he should bother leaving a note. There was nothing he really wanted to say to his dad, but then, if he didn't say anything his father might try and look for him, and Les didn't want to deal with...

As Les cried, Jimmy placed a hand on his shoulder. Jimmy's dogs, Venus and Mars, came to comfort Les. Venus and Mars were both mixed breeds. Although they looked intimidating, the large, wolf-like appearance of both of them was the only intimidating thing about them. They were very affectionate with those they knew, especially Jimmy and his friends. They were wary of strangers, but they were not at all aggressive. Les asked, "Why does my father hate me?" Jimmy said, "I don't know, Les." Les said, "My mother loved me. Why did she have to die?" Jimmy said, "I know, buddy. She was taken from you,...

Les's fingers flew across the fretboard of his beloved Les Paul as he played along to the riff from "Day Tripper", which was playing over on his computer screen. Sitting on his half-made bed, he nodded his head to the music, unaware of anything else as the melody flowed over him. His hair flopped into his eyes as it often did when he was playing guitar, but he hardly noticed.
The song ended, and Les opened his eyes and grinned. That had been his best playthrough yet. He had been practicing a number of sixties and seventies rock songs for months now, and he only got better at them. Les glanced...

Hi, everyone! Antonia here, and several of tu have done this questionnaire. I decided to do this one as well. I thoroughly enjoy doing these questionnaires. With that, let's begin.

1. How often do tu like to listen to music? As often as I can.

2. Where do tu listen to music? I listen in my study, in my bedroom, and in the living room. I don't listen to música in my bedroom as much right now, because my puppy, Joplin, is too little to go up and down the stairs.

3. Who is your favorito! singer? I'd have to say Janis Joplin. I mean, I have a dog named after her.

4. What’s your favorito! band? I...

Hi, everyone. Antonia here, and I have even más exciting news. I know tu all have been waiting for eight weeks for this news, and I am finally sharing this with you. I got a new puppy!

My new perrito, cachorro is a Gerberian Shepsky like Roscoe. She is actually his half-sister, shared mother. She has a blue-gray capa and light brown eyes that have a green haze to them, just like mine! I named her Joplin, after Janis Joplin. I was actually torn between acebo and Joplin. Of course, acebo was partially inspired por the navidad season and partially inspired por rock and roll pioneer, Buddy Holly. I called...

Hi, everyone! Antonia here, and for those of tu who read my articulo that I publicado a few days ago, I know I dicho that I had some big news that I would discuss in another article. Well, here it is.

This is really big for me and RocknRollSoul60 (Paul). For the past ten years, it has been our dream (and the dream of our families) to get out of the Bible Belt, and this year. It is finally happening. In May, we are moving to Colorado.

I know. Some of tu are thinking, why Colorado? tu see, my uncle and Paul's father work for the same company. They both got promotions, so they will be relocating to...

Hi, everyone! Antonia here, and I'm here to talk about my plans for 2021. My grandma always told me to never beat around the bush, so I'll just get straight to the point.

As I type this, in just a few hours, we will be in a New Year! I have so much in store for 2021! As always, I will be doing fan fictions. My first fan fiction will be a collaboration with Rubyrings (Layla). We agreed to do one after New Year's. We have not worked out all the details yet, so I'm not sure when the first part will be uploaded. All I will say is stay turned.

I will also be doing blogs again this year. I know you...

Hi, everyone! Antonia here, and as usual, I'm giving my annual holiday gift of the must anticipated fan fiction trivia of the year. Without further ado, let's get started!

1. I almost titled the fan fiction where New Religion and the Radiant Terriers go on tour together, "New Radiant Religious Terriers: The Tour".
However, I felt that it would be better to título it "Touring with New Friends", as it was very fitting, and the original is a bit of a mouthful.

2. When I came up with Anjanette's name, Layla came up with Ferdinand's name, as she felt his name had to be unique too.
I told her that the...

It was soon navidad Day. John and Caryn woke up, and they immediately went to the living room. John said, "Caryn, I wanted this navidad to be extra special for you. I know it didn't exactly go as planned, but it's still special in its own way. I hope tu like this present I got you." Caryn opened her present. It was a painting of her dog, Georgia, and John's dog, Thunder. She said, "Oh, John, it's beautiful!" He asked, "Do tu like it?" She said, "Oh, I amor it! Where did tu get it?" He said, "Allen has a cousin who does paintings of pets, so he helped me get in touch with her." Caryn...

After breakfast, John and Caryn sat in the living room. John asked Caryn for his guitar. He started strumming it, and Caryn started canto along to the melody. John smiled and said, "Caryn, tu never told me tu could sing." She said, "I'm a decent singer, I guess." He said, "I think you're a great singer." She said, "Thanks. I never considered it. Besides, I'm an artist at heart. You're the musician, John." He smiled and said, "Music is something I've always had. I didn't have a ton of friends growing up, so música has always been like therapy for me." Caryn said, "I understand, John." He...

Back at Caryn's house, John rested his leg while Caryn fixed dinner. She said, "I'm fixing up something special just for you." He said, "I can't wait." Once she was finished, he came to the table. He said, "Oh, tu fixed tuna melts! Thank tu so much, Caryn!" She said, "You're welcome, John!" After dinner, Caryn said, "You look tired, John. I think you've earned some rest." He said, "I am tired." She helped him get ready for bed. She said, "You can sleep in my bed, John." He said, "Caryn, I don't want to take your bed. I'll sleep on the couch." She said, "I think you'll get better rest in the...

Caryn rushed to John's side. He didn't stir as she neared him. She knelt down beside him, firmly tapped him, and shouted, "John! Wake up!" He groaned in response. He then opened his eyes and saw Caryn. She asked, "Are tu okay?" He groaned again. She said, "Come on, John. Talk to me." He faintly murmured, "I hurt." She asked, "Where does it hurt?" He said, "My leg." He slowly got up, but he was unable to walk on his right leg. Caryn said, "I think we should go to the hospital." She helped John up and allowed him to lean on her for support. They then headed to the hospital. John immediately...

It was just a few days until Christmas, and the members of The Devil Wants Peace had just finished recording their new navidad album. They were talking about what they were going to be doing for Christmas. Peter asked, "What are tu going to be doing for Christmas, John?" John replied, "I plan on spending it with Caryn. She asked me to get her some new lights for her house, but I plan on doing más than that. I'm going to put them on for her." Allen said, "Be careful, John. tu could risk falling and hurting yourself." John said, "I'm not too worried about that. Caryn's house is one story."...

Hi, everyone! Antonia here. It seems like it's dragged on forever, but 2020 is coming to an end. I'm sure many of tu are ready for this año to be over. I know I am! This is my end of the año speech and plans for the remainder of the year.

As usual, I will do one más fan fiction this year. If tu have any suggestions, feel free to send me a personal message. Whatever fan fiction I end up doing, this will be the last one of 2020.

I know this hasn't been a great año for any of us. There has been the pandemic, which hopefully will end soon. I am optimistic this will not last forever. I mean,...
