When Danny played guitar and sang that God-Awful song in a rehearsal at the club/bar, while his friend jumped around stupidly like it was a Rolling Stones Concert....what was the point of having this scene?
It had absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the movie. Am I missing something?
It shows how people like them ignore life just to play the game. His best friend and brother were not there because of the game.
shareI agree with his friend skipping out because of playing Brad, but wasn't Johnny at work at the time? I believe he was working and Tara was shown watching him from her car for a moment. He didn't skip the performance by choice.
shareI think it tied in with the scene when Danny and Johnny were in the pawn shop, and Danny was getting his guitar back. I also got the feeling they were trying to show that these two could have aspired to different jobs but hustling was easier money for them. Kind of like a "I sell drugs" metaphor.
But you know, many scenes are cut from the final version of films. I suspect there was much more "back story" that hit the cutting room floor... probably for the sake of too much time/footage to be included. Character development in other words.
Somebody's got to go back and get a sh!t load of dimes!
