Candy blog entry number 7

This chapter of Candy was filled with action and drama. For a first note, I was thoroughly surprised that Joe drank so much during this chapter, and I found myself nervous that they would perform terribly because of the alcohal and drug abuse. I think up until this point I saw Joe as a goodie-goodie-two-shoes kind of guy. But, this showed me that he had a rebellious side to him to, and it made Candy and him as a couple a clearer, more possible, couple in my mind. The drama that happened with Mike was traumatic, and I'm probably going to read forward and figure out what happened with him. Iggy clearly had something to do with it, but I'm just wondering what exactly Iggy was thinking, and what exactly Iggy hurt Mike for. I'm guessing that it had to do with Mike sticking up for someone. The concert went well, and this made me feel happy, because for some reason I feel Joe's fate feels like it depends a lot on it. I felt like it wasn't realistic when Joe had the guts to actually sing the song he wrote about Candy right when he saw her in the audience. Realistically, he would have froze up, and taken a minute to build his confidence again. But, then again in moments when you are performing, you can always find a way to get by when you really are under enough pressure. Performing seems to bring people to higher level off awarness.
