"...a titbit. Is that even a word?..." It's dangerously close to the term that Canada's Tim Horton's restaurant chain uses for one of its most popular menu items: "Timbits".
Thanks, AJ! I did have a particular rocker in mind when I came up with that, someone I saw several times on the street in London -- his favorite pub was near where I worked -- who looked mischievous and had a twinkle in his eye.
It grew more out of reading a lot of rock biographies and autobiographies and seeing patterns in rockers' behavior. Not specific people for the most part. I just thought Lucy needed to have a fun 'system' for advising Alison.
It's like the old days of TV where you had to *wait* for the next episode of something, and be there to watch it, you couldn't just bring it up & binge.
I have to hold myself back from throwing it up all at once as well. I'm a binger with pretty much no patience, so I totally get it. I'm telling myself the same thing, that it's good for me!

Ha, that's funny!
It's a play on 'tidbit,' but I hope Mr. Horton doesn't think I'm making fun of or stealing his concept.
Don’t worry about Mr. Horton; he’s been deceased for a while now…
Phew!
Brilliant! I’m digging it! Can’t wait for more.
Thanks so much, Chris! And thanks for restacking it too. Appreciated.
Thank you for your thanks! 🎸🤘👊
"The Leprechaun" 🤣 I love it. Really enjoyed reading this!

So are these archetypes all based on specific real life rockers? 👀

This is very entertaining! Good writing.
Thanks, Clark! Glad you're enjoying it.
OMG this is so brilliant! How am I going to wait until chapter 7, you're killin' me here!
I'm so glad you're enjoying it, Hugh. And now you know how I feel about your teasers for upcoming posts!

Probably good for me!

The "Six types of rock guys" is definitely a funny bit.
