Awards Show
A musician and a manager discuss the benefits and pitfalls of the music business.
1933
Backstage, Dodley Demser shined his shoe to a high gloss.
“You’re going to go out there, play behind the screen, and we’re going to get this pay.”
“It’s an awards show for the white man. We’re nominated, but they can't see our faces. It’s a travesty. So what if we win? We won’t be able to attend the hotel or even go through the same doors,” Felton Crimp said.
“Never mind all of that. We’re going to get this money. The award be damned,” Savoy Turnstile looked into his mirror and fixed his conch.
“One day we’ll get representation,” Demser said.

Breath issued from Angelica’s mouth. The weight of the baby put her into her chair. Her curves managed to say she had not been with child the whole time. There seemed to be a fantastic ideal swimming somewhere in her mind about the hazards of caring for two. She grabbed a magazine and fanned herself, knowing that she expended more energy in that effort sitting still and letting the air conditioning do the job. No, she told herself, without struggle there is no triumph. She switched on the television set. The picture looked as people had been replaced by blue aliens and she just watched her soap opera, void of extraterrestrials for this time.

(Click here to read the previous chapter) Nyssha narrowed her eyes at the glowing text before her, wondering where it had come from. At first, she thought she must've snapped from the stress of this little adventure. But the message reminded her of the disembodied voice that had spoken to her when the little god tried to control her. Either way, it was probably worth considering.
