Jimmy Lee is going to be one of the hottest new stars in the music industry within the next few months. His music is a synthesis of modern R&B music with the traditional folk of his native Tennessee, with a large dash of virtuoso hard rock guitar added: it's loud, good, and has more legs than a centipede. Every music producer in the country's going to try to find carbon copies of this guy, and failing miserably.

Naturally, Nybbas is going to want to get Jimmy firmly under his thumb, very quickly. With the right management, the kid can be milked for decades: needless to say, the gospel riffs have to go, but that's no great loss, right? The Prince will want this one handled with kid gloves, actually: this kind of raw talent shouldn't be wasted. There'll be plenty of time to wring it dry later on.

There are only two problems: well, three. The first is that Jimmy's one of those rare mortals with six Forces, and the potential to have a seventh. The second is that he's got a special agent: Freddie, the Ofanite Angel of Rock and Roll, who's doing his best to gradually induct Jimmy to Heaven's side of the War. He's also called in some favors to make sure his hot prospect is protected from exactly this kind of problem: Michael was more than happy to drop off some truly hulking Malakim and Cherubim, who by now have become some of Jimmy's staunchest fans (not to mention roadies). Getting to the mortal might not be that easy.

Personally, Jimmy's one of the good guys: nice to his mother, polite, not given to excess drinking or fooling around with groupies (and, seeing as his new girlfriend, unbeknownst to him, happens to have black wings, that's unlikely to change soon) and keeps his word. He wants to be the first Asian-American to make it extremely big in the American music scene, but doesn't want to fall in the same traps as the King or Janis or Jimi. When Jimmy finds out about the War, barring Infernal interference, he's almost certain to join Heaven's side. Corrupting him, given his protectors, is going to be an uphill battle.

Oh, you want to know about the third problem? It's a pretty big one, although nobody's discovered it yet. If Nybbas ever does, things will get really complicated (not to mention explosive). You see, Jimmy's been a big part of the music scene before; it just wasn't in this lifetime. The Prince of the Media was bitterly disappointed that he couldn't snag him, the last time around.

He so badly wanted the soul of Buddy Holley…
