Tommy and Nikki search for a crazy second guitarist to off-set the
dowdy Robin when Tommy reads a classified ad that Mick Mars has placed in
The Recycler newspaper saying, "Loud, rude and aggressive guitarist
available" along with his name and phone number. He gets a call from Tommy
inviting him to an audition, so he has his small friend John Crouch,
nicknamed Stick, drive him, his guitar and his Marshall amps that stick
out of his Mazda on the drive to North Hollywood. Tommy opens the house
door and thinks Mick looks like Cousin Itt from the Adams Family. Mick
speaks with Nikki, both of them not remembering their previous meeting
in the liquor store and afterwards at the Stone Pony a few years
earlier. They show Mick the opening riff to a song called Stick To Your Guns
that was written by Nikki on piano. They think he does a great job, so
then they head out to buy a gallon of Schnapps at Mick's suggestion.
Upon return, they jam for an hour on some more songs Nikki had written,
called Toast Of The Town and Public Enemy #1. Mick feels their sissy
guitarist Robin is not the right guy so they say if he wants to join, he
has to fire the other guy. He is given the job after saying to Robin
that he is the only guitar player. Also having used the same color hair
dye, Nice & Easy Permanent Blue Black, certainly helps his chances. Robin
cries upon being told the news from Mick. Big Momma enters from the
window with a fiddle and begins playing Irish drinking songs and jigging
simultaneously. Tommy, Nikki and Mick enthusiastically dance while Robin
and Stick make like a tree and get out of there. Afterwards, Nikki,
Tommy and Mick invite Big Momma to be the choreographer for the band. The
band inspired a societal revolution over the next decade largely as a
result of Big Momma's direction. Currently, Big Momma serves as
director of the National Choreographers Association. Fans from around the
world observe Big Momma launching innovative dance moves in Annapolis
establishments.
