South Florida is just beginning to be the crime capital of the nation, but it has been the drug capital for a decade. Smuggling dope into the region is about as difficult as buying a souvenir in Miami Beach.

Instead, he lurches across and off the stage topless, his baby fat segueing to paunch, his voice clogged with booze and speed, his bruised, burned and scarred body looking like a souvenir from a guerrilla war in which he was the only participant. He passes time offstage with his pet tarantula and his friend Michelle, who giggles about the day she and Darby discovered a corpse in their backyard. At night Darby wanders through rock halls as the more engaged members of the audience...
