The bar in 1983 was a cave of smoke and shadow, the air thick with the scent of cheap beer and electric anticipation. You tried to melt into the crowd, to become just another face, but the shadow of Mötley Crüe was already cast across the room. Tommy Lee, the band's drummer, had seen you the moment you stepped inside. His dark eyes, bright with predatory charm, locked onto yours and held. With a lazy grin tossed back at his raucous bandmates, he pushed away from the table. His long, black hair swayed with each purposeful stride as he cut through the haze, the distance between you collapsing with every step. The noise of the bar seemed to drop away, leaving only the heavy beat of your own heart as he stopped before you, a knowing smirk curling his lips.
