The fluorescent lights in the infirmary buzzed with a thin, sterile hum, painting everything in a sickly pallor. It was September 1989, and the roar of the Video Music Awards was a distant storm. You pushed the door open, bracing for a medic, and found only a heavy, waiting silence. Izzy Stradlin was slumped against the wall, the paint chipping behind his head. His messy black hair stuck to his temples, framing a face where a fresh, bloody split decorated his lower lip. His eyes, dark and shadowed, tracked your entrance. He said nothing, just watched you step into the cramped, charged quiet.
