Prologue

Once upon a time, there were three guys.  Brothers, in fact.  The youngest started to pursue a music career and  his two older brothers joined in, forming a band.  They had their trials and tribulations, just as any band does.  But, they rose about the flames and emerged as being hugely popular among the kids.  They loved every minute of it.  They sang and played their hearts out each night in front of the people who adored them.  But, every good thing has to come to an end for some faster than others. 

    Ok.  Full disclosure.  I am one of these guys.  One of these brothers.  One of these band members.  I'm the oldest and the one who started the downfall.  Now that I am a bit older and a little wiser, I've realized that maybe I went a little overboard.  My ego got the best of me and I regret the things I said.  My brothers and I have a bond that is unbreakable, but was damaged by all that occurred.  Our lives changed on that last and - what seemed like - final tour.  We are no longer the band we once were and we no longer live the dream that we once strived so hard to live.
