Leonard needed lyrics and inspiration for his fictional band, so research this time meant schmoozing with singers. He and his assistant met with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Aerosmith, among others, but Leonard finally found his ideal band by accident.

Dapper suits and casual jeans, cocktail dresses and T-shirts all stepped into the dim club with a quiet sophistication...

My comments are thus directed not only to popular performers like Madonna and Aerosmith, but also to anyone heedlessly seeking to profit off the sentiments of others...
