The
Last Stage By Jim
Cherry – Writing Under the Influence of Rock ‘n Roll
Michael Gray
is an aging professional student looking for a way out of a
small town, and to break away from a girlfriend who increasingly
wants more from him. He also has ambitions but he doesn’t know
how to act upon them, or even admit them to himself. Inspired by
a lifetime of friends telling him he looks like Jim Morrison,
and a chance meeting with Ray Manzarek, he takes a chance on his
dreams and starts a Doors tribute band.
He sidetracks a band on their road to fame, and together they
experience the exhilaration of being a touring Rock ‘n Roll band
– the long hours, the agents, the groupies, record company
executives and the growing ego of Michael Gray. On the road
Michael meets and falls in love with Caitlin Stewart, daughter
of legendary guitarist Jerry Osprey, but she doesn’t trust
Michael’s motives - does he truly love her, or is she a career
move for Michael? Or even a collectible item for an ultimate
fan?
The band is carried to the doors of stardom when the
band is offered the gig of their Rock ‘n Roll dreams
– playing the Whisky A Go-Go! In Los Angeles,
Michael meets former child star Jimmy Stark, who
shows him what the monster fame, celebrity, and
stardom can be; crashing studios and parties Michael
assembles an entourage of wanna-be’s and has-been’s.
When Michael and the band meet their destinies on
the stage of the Whisky A Go-Go, Michael Gray is
afforded the last stage he has.

Our Mission: "Big Blend Magazine is a company based on the belief that education is the most formidable weapon that can be waged against fear, ignorance and prejudice.
It is our belief that education starts at
home and branches outward. Education leads to travel, and
travel leads to understanding, tolerance, and appreciation
of cultures and customs different to our own, and ultimately
to world peace. Our company is further based on the
principle that networking, communication, and helping others
to promote and market themselves leads to financial
stability; thus paving the way to better education, travel,
and the spirit of giving back to the community."
