Sebastian Rodrigues

He kept singing Country Roads to himself in his head. He was tired of singing but he had to. It was 10 years since his album first released. He had thought it would be an instant hit and that he could spread the message of Rock and Roll all over again. He would think constantly about the rock star antics he would display and the tantrums he would throw.

Its been 15 years since his first college band and 10 years since the album bit the dust. He now sings every weekend at the Cafe' Antonio's, a local pub. He's sort of a local celebrity out here. He can let his close friends in without a cover charge and on occasions even get them a free bottle of beer. He throws tantrums at the waiters when they don't entertain his guests.

Its time now. He gets up, carefully adjusting his toupe', so that noone notices and teases the crowd in his customary style "Are you guys ready to be transported...lets do some community singing out here....have you heard this song before".

The leads start and before long the audience sings " Take me hooooome....country roads".

Just when he is singing he remembers the promise he made to Lennon, and then he moves his thoughts and begins the audience bantering all over again.
