In her teenage days, Marci Anderson was moderately pudgy, borderline geeky, and 100% obsessed with the glam band Blue Silver. She even used to practice kissing on bassist Brad Nix’s poster. So when he said in an interview that “leggy redheads” were his thing, Marci did her best to become one (not easy for a Pennsylvania Dutch girl raised on a steady diet of starches and sweets—whoopie pie, anyone?). Not that Marci ever really expected to meet or date Brad Nix. Teenage logic, however, told her that if she became what he wanted, then maybe she’d attract a guy like him, and that was close enough. Mr. Close Enough, though, ended up being a struggling musician for whom she skipped class and spent money she didn’t really have. That was Marci's first dalliance with a rocker, and she intended for it to be her last…until a couple of high school gal pals dreamed up a way for them not just to see the Blue Silver reunion concert, but to meet the boys at their exclusive after-party, too. Brad Nix, you’re playing Marci's song…
