It was a great success and is said to presage the true death of
"theory" and the Post Modern. This morning I read that his Techno/Ambient CD "Kronos" is in at number one with a bullet. Tonight he plays the Chopin Nocturnes at the Royal festival Hall.
I know that Declan has gotten too greedy- taken too much talent from too many people and, rather than laundering it, he started to spend it like it was going out of fashion.
I phoned round the other members of the group and explained the situation- told them to meet me outside the Royal Festival Hall at eight. They knew the score-they'd also been keeping tabs on our Mr McHoolihan. I went over to the Wheatsheaf and asked for Stick. Stick came in from out back and I asked him right out for a Cleaning Lady. His eyes turned to slits and he whispered "Why you want a Cleaning Lady ? - I always thought of you as a kind of sensitive and creative person. You know how to shoot?"
"You just pull the trigger I guess"
Stick lead me into the back room and opened up the cabinet.
" I recommend the 44 Russian- with the adjustable hair trigger it'll almost shoot itself".
I considered a P-38 Walther, it looked pretty good , but not as compact as the Smith and Wesson .38 Chiefs Special with a two inch barrel. I put the money down and Stick put a couple of boxes of cartridges down. I walked out and hailed a cab. I knew for sure that McHoolihan wasn't going to make that meeting with Chopin.
When McHoolahan's Rolls pulled up at the car park at the back of the RFH we were waiting for him- plenty of us tooled up special. We surrounded the car and told the chauffeur to get out and hand us the keys. We told him to make dust . We drove McHoolahan to Docklands. All the way there he was sweating like a pig and talking real fancy about the right for the artist to appropriate and some other such bullshit. By the time we'd got him down by the river he was real scared.
