- You and your friend Karen O. are having lunch together at Skyline Chili. She is lamenting the fact that she recently broke up with her longtime band. She also mentions that she recently started a new band called “The Iguana Tongue” which has not been very successful. In fact, her last show played in front of only 3 people, and two of those people were her mother and father! Karen is depressed and is thinking about quitting music altogether.
