The little black dog picked up by Lance successfully abducted James.

After he discovered that the dog would not bite him, the spirit of playing with cats and dogs in his childhood was revived again, and he burst out with amazing enthusiasm, playing with the dog every day.

Although this dog is not a pure breed, it is not a good dog for many people, because it has no sense of shame, let alone loyalty.

But as long as it can be a dog that doesn't bite people obediently, James can continue to love.

At that time, a photographer on the tour team took a photo of them called [Jimmy, Gigi and football].

It was a sunny afternoon.

The tour team stopped not far away, and in an open space in the middle, a person and a dog ran around chasing a football excitedly.Because people are not very good at kicking football, they would come to empty kicks from time to time, and dogs are also not good at it. The football is still a bit big for today's milk dogs, and the little black dog can't bite the right place every time it opens its mouth.

So, one person and one dog chase one ball!

The whole scene looks very warm and funny.

The photographer quickly fixed the scene.

Coincidentally, there was a silhouette of Lance in the lower right corner of the photo at that time.

should……

Is it an alternative photo of a family of three?

The photos were fun to take.

After the photographer posted it on a newspaper in the United States at that time, even if they didn't listen to rock and didn't know the protagonist in the photo, many people still involuntarily cut out the photo and started collecting it.

At this point, the band had to tour non-stop if they wanted to get ahead.

After a long time, if the band members don't find something to do on their own, they will be bored to death all day long.Coupled with the high pressure of performing, many band members gradually degenerated during this boring journey, such as playing with women, taking drugs, and other unexpected, absurd and messy activities.

But very coincidentally...

In the band Planet, because the drummer Baldwin had personally witnessed the scene where the lead singer of the band died of an overdose, he hated addicts so much that he avoided drugs; while James and Lance were in love at that time, Pretty girls couldn't attract them, so there were no women in the RV; as for Theo, he was originally the one with the worst self-control, but he was in a group and couldn't do anything alone.

But the journey is slow, and everyone must find something to pass the time.

Baldwin insisted on practicing drums for four hours a day, and Theo also began to try to learn to arrange.

And James, in addition to teasing dogs and playing football, also took vocal lessons, and continued to learn to play guitar with Lance.

Lance was patient enough to teach guitar, but the guy wasn't very encouraging.

Once, James complained: "The more I study, the more I feel bored, what should I do?"

Lance poured cold water: "Give up, you are not suitable for playing the guitar."

But when James starts staring at him...

He hurriedly added another sentence: "I don't know, anyway, from the moment I picked up the guitar, I never felt bored for a minute, every time I was as excited as a child who just got a gift."

If someone else said this, James might still be skeptical and angry.

When Ke Lance said this, people could clearly feel the strong emotion contained in his words, every word and every sentence was genuine, without any pretense or hypocrisy.

So James shut up and went to practice.

Lance listened to the side, not at all complacent, as soon as he heard a leak or mistake, he would immediately interrupt and ask him to play again.

The two stood there and played the guitar facing each other, completely immersed in the world of the two of them...

But the beginner's cotton-picking skills annoyed Baldwin and Theo.

Later, when Baldwin commented on "Jimmy Learning Guitar", he only said one sentence: "At that time, I especially wanted to hold his feet, wave my arms vigorously, and push him out of the car window with a 'swish' sound, just Throw it out, far away!"

But to live together, we must endure each other.

Fortunately, James' learning progress is faster than ordinary people.Maybe it’s because of the master’s apprenticeship. In a performance, he was able to cooperate with Lance on the stage with a guitar on his back. At that time, the song he played the most familiarly was “You Are Mine” star].

Living together for a long time tends to magnify everyone's shortcomings and create trivial conflicts.

Before we are not accompanied day and night...

Drummer Baldwin is a good man with a stable and mature personality, although he occasionally complains about his teammates, but it is harmless.

But after everyone went on the road together, James felt that this guy was even more hateful than Theo. He could clearly see everything, but he always had opinions without saying a word. People joke, and it seems that others are sorry for him (Baldwin: Get out, I keep silent, is there something wrong?);

Theo is the same, when he is not together every day, metal control, lively, secondary, although he likes to join in the fun, he is still an interesting little tease.

But after getting along for a long time, James felt that he couldn't wink at people, always spoke at inappropriate times, had bad taste, and was sometimes super annoying.

As for Lance, needless to say, he has always been elegant and polite, and occasionally pretends to be an introverted artist.

But in private, his various bad habits are too numerous to list, picky, arrogant, hypocritical, trouble-seeking, selfish, vanity...

And finally himself.

He doesn't know what image he is, probably because he sings well, right?But internally, emotional, alcoholic, sloppy, rebellious... probably not high in IQ.

The more they understand each other, the more they hate each other.

Noisy every day, but can quickly reconcile as before.

This sounds contradictory.

But the sad thing is that in a person's life, he always quarrels with those close to him.

The good news, though, is that [Take You Elope] is slowly climbing the US sales charts, and as they go on tour after tour, big bucks are pouring their way fly.

At this stage, the financial personnel sent by the company in the United States will regularly come to report to them.

Because before the final settlement, no money can be seen during this period, only the number on the book is growing.

Therefore, what they brought were reports and the like.

But except for Lance who knows a little bit (most of them don't), James, Baldwin, and Theo don't understand these things, just know 'oh, we made money', and don't know more specifically.

Is this a common problem among artists?

When Baldwin beats the drums, everyone's heart will beat; Theo's bass can also be so handsome that people can't stop shaking their legs; when Lance gets serious, the electric guitar shakes the audience like a bomber; as for James, Now even American audiences call him Nightingale.

However, the four people who are on the stage are worried and troubled because of financial problems.

If it was in the UK, they would find some trusted people to help solve it; but in the United States, they can't trust anyone.

Also, the US tour was really unpleasant.

They more or less had the realistic thought of "If you don't make money after all this trouble, wouldn't this trip be for nothing?"This also includes Lance, this guy is terribly contradictory and often suffers from literary problems, but when encountering troubles, he is damn calculating and shrewd.

The next day, he took the initiative to clarify the matter: "Brothers, we have to be a little bit on guard."

He specifically cited a few examples there, all of them were fools who used to be very famous, but were foolishly cheated by record companies, managers, and finances, and ended up living poorly on the street: "Understood? We have to Put on an attitude."

Many times, those who engage in art are too embarrassed to talk about money.

It seems that talking about money is like desecrating music, but what kind of music can you talk about without money?Five thousand pounds for a good guitar!

Therefore, when faced with financial statements that are completely incomprehensible, especially when the financial personnel reporting are all from companies in the United States...

The four immediately conspired together.

Directly in front of the financial accountants, James stuck a bright, sharp knife on the table.

He casually stepped on the chair and asked, "You didn't lie to me, did you?"

Theo and Baldwin stood beside each other.

The two of them were also expressionless, staring at the financial staff, as if they were in some gangster movie.

The worst was Lance.

He took out a few prepared documents from the folder on the side and handed them to the financial accountants...

When those financial accountants looked at the personal information that might be ten times more detailed than the personal resume they wrote, their expressions were stiff.

"Listen, I know where each of your homes is and where your family is, so don't try to lie to us."

Lance threatened calmly: "Of course, if there is no problem, then everyone will have a happy cooperation in the future."

Are you really a rock band?

You're not some British rock gang, are you?

All financial personnel are probably crazily complaining deep in their hearts.

But no matter what they think, there is an awkward smile of 'no, no, we are very professional' on the surface.

This incident was later written by Lance in the song.

Every time James is on the stage, a pair of green eyes look at the auditorium provocatively and evilly, and sing while dancing: "My gun is loaded, baby! I know where your home is, I know where your home is! Don't force I'll go to the door..."

The girls screamed excitedly in the audience, almost fainting.

However, they didn't know that the song was actually written for accountants.

Hey man, don't take our money!

I know where your home is!I know where your home is!

Don't force me to come to the door!

The British media may not have been wrong before.

Even if they have never really fallen, and their lives are quite healthy, but looking at the essence through the appearance, this is still a group of hooligans, who just put on good clothes and stand on the stage in a fake manner.
