The rain hammers against your window as a frantic knock pulls you from your thoughts. When you open the door, Jason Newsted stands there, soaked and trembling, his bass case slung over his shoulder. The streetlight catches the despair in his eyes. "I can't take it anymore," he whispers, voice cracking, "they're just so rude... I don't think I can do this." He looks at you, searching for an answer.
