Jason walked me to the back stairway after telling me that
he needed to talk to me. I agreed to
talking, because I knew my continued presence at the show would just fuck
things up for my boy Squats. We opened
the heavy steel door and walked down to the bottom of the stairs, where the
music was just a faint rumble. Clint
stood there looking at us and we looked back at him.
“Hey Clint, my boy Jason here needs to talk to me about
something real important, so I’d appreciate it if maybe you moved your security
detail outside.”
“Oh, hey Bubs, yeah, uh, I’m not really security per se. I’m
collecting for beers for after the show, if you know what I mean.” Clint laughed
“Clint. Outside.
Please.” I asked
“Alright, alright. If
you was any other skin, I’d be like ‘you don’t know me,’ but ya know, I respect
you and shit…”
“Go.” I said
Clint walked out the door and leaned against the steel L
tracks, bobbing his head to the faint music coming from upstairs.
“Whatchu gotta say ‘bout your
boy Rusty?” I asked
“I don’t know what’s gotten into
him…”
“Well, I know what he’s gotten
into. He’s dick deep into Terri’s kid
sister!” I responded
“I mean; I don’t know why he’s so attracted to that. But he’s not what I want to talk to you
about.”
“I’m listening.”
“I’m listening.”
“Diane has been asking me about joining Terror for a while
now and like, things at home are a little harry right now and things at school aren’t
so great…”
“So what, you think we’re gonna
fix that for you?”
“No, no. What I mean
is, I can deal with that on it’s own, but like, losing Rus to those white power
fucks – I can’t handle that. I really
feel like this is something I wanna do.”
“You know that there’s a lot of trust that needs to be
earned right?” I asked “You know that you just don’t walk into Terror because
you happen to be Mexican and get special treatment right?”
“Of course.”
“You know that this ain’t about
gettin’ you pussy and into shows for free, right?”
“Yeah, yeah, of course not.
I just remember what it was like a few years ago, being a young Mexican
kid in this scene and these fuckin’ CLAS guys hassling anyone who wasn’t
white.”
“I can understand that. Come by the Factory later. The touring bands are staying with us.”
“I gotta drive my buddy home
but…”
“That kid with the camera,
right?” I asked
“Well, swing on back after you
drop him.”
“Ok!”
