Page "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains" Paragraph 12

At a tour stop, Billy and Corinne get a motel room, where Billy attempts to seduce Corinne by sharing his feelings about the band and his own frustrations as an artist.

Over the course of their conversation, Billy recites the lyrics to a song, " Join the Professionals ," which sums up his most personal feelings about the state of the world.

( This was an actual song written and previously recorded by Jones and Cook's post-Pistols band, The Professionals.

) At their next stop, the band is met by Lawn Boy's agent, Dave Robell, with the intended replacement act for the Stains.

Although Billy tells Corinne that he only wanted her replaced early on in the tour, Corinne lashes out at him, and at the Stains ' next show, she plagarizes Billy's song, which skyrockets the band to even further stardom.

With Robell's encouragement, Corinne signs a new contract, cutting Lawn Boy out of any royalties and making the Stains the new headliner act of the tour.
