Lou Kline
Guitarist of the Flaming Dildos, Scotty is an eccentric musician. Bennie’s good friend as a teenager, Scotty and Bennie stop hanging out after Scotty begins dating Alice, whom Bennie has a crush on. Though Bennie goes on to find success in the music industry, Scotty gets divorced and recedes into a life of seclusion, resentment, and delusional theories about his situation. He ends up working as a janitor and fishing in the East River in his free time. Scotty resents Bennie’s success, and even visits his office once, leaving a dead fish behind when he exits. Scotty continues to love music and write songs on the lap steel guitar, and after rekindling his friendship with Bennie, goes on to play a redemptive, history-making concert in New York City.

Quotes
I looked down at the city. Its extravagance felt wasteful, like gushing oil or some other precious thing Bennie was hoarding for himself, using it up so no one else could get any. I thought: If I had a view like this to look down on every day, I would have the energy and inspiration to conquer the world. The trouble is, when you most need such a view, no one gives it to you.
