The defeat of Lou Co-Sight, the lead singer of the punk band Danger Management, consisted of his exclusion from the social fabric of his beloved Kansas City and the loss of his frank and open relationship with his bandmate Neuro Phil. In spite of all his strategic thinking, he had failed to take into account the most important thing, the band’s funds. And it liquidated Lou. Decades later, Hulk Frenetic, the band’s drummer, summed up the entire situation in a piece entitled “That’ll Do It”: “It is impossible to say who was right, but also impossible to avoid saying that Lou was wrong—that he was clumsy, careless, reckless, bitter, and even barbarous. Full disclosure: I have, for many years now, worked for Mr. Phil.”
