The Bear

<p><strong>The Bear.</strong> <br> An underground bar. NED's place. NED - tough as iron. <br> Saturday nights the Oil Heads own the stage. JP on guitar. One of my close friends. A strange soul but unbreakable. <br> Thursdays are for Stoner Rock. PI SAM NED JP and the rest... For years we lived louder than the world around us. </p><p>My story began on Gustav Street in a rotten flat above Club 46. <br> You know the place - the strip club. <br> Just when I thought life couldn't sink any lower I crossed into LIMBO. <br> I spoke with the dead. Walked through fire. Drank. Fell in love. Got wasted. Fell apart. <br> I devoured thousands of books in a single day. <br> I met the great writers. I faced the FERRYMAN. </p><p>I'm LEVO. <br> My surname means nothing. <br> I never cared for surnames. <br> And in my phone book I write my friends' names only in ALL CAPS. </p>
