2 Richard Tozier Takes a Powder
Pg. 60 "How much do you remember, Rich?" Mike asked him.
"Very little," Rich said, and then paused. "Enough, I suppose."
"Will you come?"
"I'll come," Rich said, and hung up.
First, of course, he put on a record- not hunting, just grabbing blindly among the thousands racked on the shelves. Rock and roll was almost as much a part of his life as the Voices, and it was hard for him to do anything without music playing- and the louder the better. The record he grabbed turned out to be a Motown retrospective. Marvin Gaye, one of the newer members of what Rich sometimes called The All-Dead Band, came on singing "I Heard It Through the Grapevine."
Pg. 66 "Clarence doesn't want to talk to Mike, Rich. Clarence doesn't want to talk to Bobby Russell. He doesn't want to talk to me. He wants to talk to you, my friend. And I have no interest in having a pissed-off two-hundred-and-fifty-pound saxophone player who was once almost drafted by a pro football team running amok in my studio."
"I don't think he has a history of running amok," Rich said. "I mean, we're talking Clarence Clemons here, not Keith Moon."
Pg. 67 "Oh, get down off it," Rich said. "I need a few days off, is all. You're acting like I took a shit on your FCC charter."
Pg. 70 The light was fading. He looked at his house with the new plantings, he looked at the beach, at the water, which had taken on the cast of pale emeralds broken by a narrow track of beaten gold. And a conviction stole over him that he would never see any of this again, that he was a dead man walking.
"Going home now," Rich Tozier whispered to himself. "Going home, God help me, going home."

Richie Tozier × Eddie Kaspbrak
And when I was younger
I knew a boy and a boy
Best friends with each other
But always wished they were more
'Cause they loved one another
But never discovered
'Cause they were too afraid of what they'd say
Moved to different states
