Question
Whats the story with Joanne, Eddie, and Frank. What happed when they kissed, I thought that she was Eddies girl, but then when he seen them he didn't do anything.
Chaos was what killed the dinosaurs, darling.
Eddie did respond... He embarrassed Frankie in front of all of his friends at the college where they were performing. I'm surprised that Eddie didn't beat him, though.
shareYeah I understood about the embarrassing part, but I thought he would have done more. Like you said beat him up. Then when he said he was going to quit the band, I was suprised that Eddie actually wanted him to stay.

If you really listen to what Eddie says his music was everything. Even though he seen them kissing, and he told him he could quit if he wanted too, he told the "wordman", I need you, you make the music mean something, which was Eddie's point. He wanted music that was from the heart and soal.
shareYou would think that Eddie would have lost his temper, but I guess he decided to use brains over brawn. He and the rest of the band were embarassed on the college campus where they saw a whole different lifestyle. They felt out of place and to some extent were. He knew that Wordman was dying to show off for his his old alma mater and by snubbing him during the intros, he got back at him in a fashion more befitting of the upper middle class. I also think he was smart enough to realize he's lost his girl. One more reason to drop out of sight. He did leave her behind.

I agree, I think Eddie's solution was brilliant and unexpected. He wanted Wordman to feel the same disappointment he [Eddie] felt at losing his girl. So Eddie took Wordman's greatest hopes (of impressing his old pals) and crushed it right on stage. His revenge was far more calculated and effective than just brute violence. It proved that, despite his tough exterior, Eddie was a true poet. share
