The Somewhat Singular Tale Of...BILLY VERA

So there we sat in his living room in Hollywood on a nice sunny day, me and Billy Vera. Not much going on. Oh, I was drinking a Diet Pepsi and looking out the window at that new Honda I bought. Nice car. Billy had the #1 song in the country. He doesn’t have much furniture in his place, just a couch and a chair and a decades-old record player in the living room.

So there we sat in his living room in Hollywood on a nice sunny day, me and Billy Vera. Not much going on. Oh, I was drinking a Diet Pepsi and looking out the window at that new Honda I bought. Nice car. Billy had the #1 song in the country. He doesn’t have much furniture in his place, just a couch and a chair and a decades-old record player in the living room.

Nope, not much going on at all.

Five years ago there was plenty going on: his second album for Alfa Records had been released. A single—“At This Moment’’ (from his first Alfa album)—had also been released, and it had charted.

In fact, it had peaked at #79 in Billboard. Not too bad.
