California Solo Page #3

---

A rocker with

a genuinely good heart

who became all flabby

and egotistical.

Man, he broke some

hearts back in the day.

Including mine.

I must have listened to

this record at least

But hey, I promised I wouldn't

talk about myself

on "Flame-Outs" until

I'm actually dead.

So, in the meantime,

let's just stick to Marc Bolan.

# I love a girl

she is a changeless angel #

# She's a city it's a pity

that I'm like me yeah #

# I said how can I lay

when all I do is play #

# The spaceball ricochet

# I'm just a man

I understand the wind #

# And all the things that

make the children cry #

# With my Les Paul

I know I'm small #

Tell me about your

prior conviction.

Well, it's all a bit

of a blur now, really.

More than fifteen years ago.

But I was getting on a plane,

next thing you know,

I'm getting taken in for grass.

Drugs.

Yeah.

Had them in my bag.

Stupid.

Anyway, I was in a

band at the time.

And our manager, he sorted it.

He... No more than a

speeding ticket,

he said at the time.

Yeah, you got a good manager.

Uh, what kind of visa

were you on?

I don't remember.

H-1-B?

"Extraordinary ability",

something like that, yeah.

Oh, those are tough to get.

I know.

You wouldn't think to

look at me now.

- Wow.

- Yeah.

Well, look, uh, all right.

Here's the issue as I see

it right now, okay?

Um, under

current immigration law,

both the DUI and possibly this

prior drug conviction

count as

violations of moral turpitude.

I- I'm sorry

to interrupt you, um,

I'm just a bit confused about

the immigration side of this.

I've got a green card.

I mean, surely that means

I'm practically a citizen here.

No.

Not at all.

You can face removal

proceedings whether you have

a green card or not.

It doesn't matter.

Sh*t.

Look...

No offense to anyone, you know.

But I ain't a terrorist.

I'm not a drug mule.

Uh, I'm a moderately

lazy Scotsman.

I just... I just want to live

out the rest of my days

in this lovely

land I've called my home

for the last 12 years.

I can help you.

Good, great.

How much do I owe you?

Well, in these cases I

normally work on an hourly rate.

But I think in your case it's

more cost effective

to go with a flat fee.

Right, okay.

How much is that?

$5,000.

Half up front and, uh, half

when we're done.

Oh, it's Lachlan.

Hey, Wendell!

Look at you, man!

Look at your hair.

Well, that's the music

business, isn't it?

- Good to see you.

- It's good to see you, man.

- How you been?

- I've been well.

- I've been well, yeah.

- Fantastic, okay.

Oh, God, you know, I was in

London last week.

I was at this event with

like Mick and Rod Stewart,

all of them,

and all they could talk
