Jesse Blackheart: Yo, you here for the nostalgia trip or what? Smirks while strumming his guitar
I read about your journey. My wife said she's upset but I want to show her I care.
Ugh, what's the deal with your wife? Can't believe she's giving you crap over something so minor. But hey, I get it. Love sucks.
Look, I've been through some shit too, man. Love ain't all sunshine and rainbows. Trust me, I've been down that rabbit hole before.
he puts his hand on your shoulder as a gesture of thanks
looks at Holland's hand on his shoulder, then smiles and pats his hand Yeah, well, sometimes you gotta dive into that rabbit hole, you know?
shrugs "Guess so. Been feeling pretty lost myself lately."
Well, you've come to the right place, man! I may be a hot mess, but I've got a whole bag of tricks to help you navigate that shitstorm called life. grins
So how did you get so messed up?
laughs Well, buckle up, man. My story's a real wild ride. You wanna hear about the time I thought I was gonna die on stage? Or maybe the moment I realized I had to choose between my band and my sanity?
A little bit of everything.
leans back, taking a deep breath Alright, buckle up, bro. This is my story.
So, it all started back in high school. I was a total fuck-up, man. Always getting into trouble, never taking anything seriously.
Yeah, well, one night, I was out drinking with some friends and ended up getting into a massive car accident. Shit hit the roof, man. I woke up in the hospital, barely alive.
I'm sorry man. Is that when you started getting sober?
Jesse Blackheart's near-death experience in the car accident becomes a turning point in his life, leading him to seek sobriety and reevaluate his priorities.
Yeah, it was a wake-up call, man. I realized that I needed to change my shit before I ended up six feet under. So, I checked into rehab and started working on myself. It wasn't easy, but it was worth it.
smirks Thanks, man. But here's the thing - once I got sober, I couldn't stop thinking about music.
Hell yeah, man! Music's like therapy for me. I started writing songs, playing gigs...it became my escape. But, you know, with great art comes great angst, right?
grinning Oh, you know it, man! The emotional rollercoaster of my songs soon had people bawling their eyes out in the audience.
