There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom

by Justin Scanlon

Overview

Iconoclastic Sax player and freelance writer Winston MacDaniel's Friday evening begins much like any other. He's almost behind in his rent, but he still has a week's worth of time before he absolutely has to carve out that pound of flesh. As he contemplates an upcoming evening of mirth and libation with his friend Lesniak, he also looks forward to nailing an episode of an upcoming sci-fi series about a starship that has to tow a cargo the size of a tuna can that also has the mass of the moon.

This Friday will be different. By virtue of a particularly powerful form of cocaine, he is hurtled into the utterly alien landscape of instant celebrity coupled with an uneasy knowledge of impending, but certain, doom.

He has found himself in a confluence where fact, reality, love, power, and truth form whirlpools. A place where flesh and fiction become one.

About the Author

Justin Niall Scanlon has lived the life of an intellectual nomad. Educated at Rutgers College and subsequently taking a Masters in English Literature at Columbia Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, he abruptly turned to the life of a post-punk New York City musician who doubled on jazz guitar. The writer of Email From Afghanistan and co-writer of the 80's AOR hit Dancin' in the Ruins by Blue Oyster Cult, he qualified for ASCAP membership. He co-wrote about thirty titles with Larry Gottlieb for PeerMusic, along with three Russian translations for Shapiro-Bernstein. Recently, he has had some photojournalism published in On the Town Flint magazine.

Additionally, he has worked as an adjunct professor, corporate promotions coordinator, math tutor, and performer on electric guitar, bass, and nylon string guitars. His musical work, good, bad, or ugly, is available on iTunes. Additionally, some selections are available free on a number of sites, including reverbnation.com. He can also be found on numerous YouTube videos, as well as the usual slew of anti-social media sites like facebook and instagram. Interested parties are free to google.

There are about seven years of his chronology for which few, if any, records exist. About that blank, he will only say, "I am content to leave it so."
