Lying Flatt: Book one: Glory Days

Lester Flatt has been dealt a raw deal in life. Growing up the youngest of three brothers, in Ewing, New Jersey, in the unforgiving 1980's, the height of hoagies, hair metal and Reaganomics. Lester's always been a uanunreaible narrator, having a propensity for chronicly lying to make himself seem more impressive. Probably because he's been called a failure his whole life and wholeheartedly rejected from the world of white American, picket fences and private universities. Because ever since Lester was a kid, all he wanted to be is a rock star, like his idol, Flea. But everything changed, in the summer of 85, when in his Junoir year of highshcool, Lester decides to start a rock band. Thus, the band, Bad Dessions was formed. With Lester on Lead vocals, Kevin on Lead guitar, Trent, Kevin's goth friend on bass, and Lenny and Beans, the dopey duo, on Keyboard and drums. Lester is a bit of an overbearing band leader at frist, but he would soon come into his own. Unlike all his previous attempts at starting a band, now Lester had faith this time would be different, and Bad Decisions would be different. Throughout the late 80's, Bad Decisions has a brief run with success, playing local gigs and even cutting an album with the help of Lenny's uncle Frosty, a fruity record excessive helping the band get off the ground. But after a while when that doesn't take off, Lester get pissed, and rethinks the whole direction of the band, by trying to make it go in a darker, more protective, direction.
