Recap

Thrill now to the story of the rock band Shallow Gravy. Hank grew up as the better-looking son of Dr. Rusty Venture, child star and occasional piano player.

Episode Quotes
Narrator: This is a story of failure and triumph, then some more failure and then triumph. then an explosion and more triumph, followed by double triumph. This is the story of Shallow Gravy.

Hank: Brock gave me lessons. He even taught me a mnemonic device to remember the names of all the strings. Every Adversary Dies Gloriously.

Narrator: Dermott Fictel was born to raise Hell over his head and scream, "Who wants a piece of Hell?"

Narrator: Two young travelers on the same road paved with hard-rock dreams. Fate drew them together as if one was a magnet that was attracted to trouble, and the other was negatively charged trouble.

Dermott Fictel: Hank's new wave was rubbing off on me, and my "*bleep* no guts no glory" attitude was rubbing off on him. We were just rubbing off on each other. Totally not in the gay way, though.
