This is my third blog for my book, "Beautiful Music for Ugly Children". I ended my last blog off with John going off to the hospital. Gabe goes through a tough week without John. He comes by everyday and sits in the hospital for hours blaming himself. "I shouldn't have let him give me a show. I should have stayed Liz. I should have mowed his lawn more often and brought him more birthday gifts. I should have told him what he means to me(Cronn-Mills 243)." Gabe can't do what he loves without John.Week after the accident, on Thursday afternoon, nurse tells Gabe and Paige they have stopped the sedative and if he is going to wake he will do it in the next week. John may not make it if he does not wake up this week.

Paige reminds Gabe the 'Vibe' is tonight in Brooklyn, New York. Debating whether to go or no, he knows John would want him to go. Paige stays with John while Gabe goes to perform. Gabe gets on stage in from of millions of people at 11:30pm and feels no motivation for his music. Lost and effortless he plays his music and gets off stage. Friday morning, Gabe checks UCB's webpage for 'Beautiful Music for Ugly Children'. Many great posts were made out to John to get better and Gabe decided to do a Beatles show for his viewers in honor of John. "He...stay"(Cronn-mills 251). John wakes up and Gabe is thrilled. He apologizes for everything and how he sucked on the 'Vibe'.

The night of John waking up Gabe gives a strong Beatle themed talk show for John and his viewers. Ending his show with, "Thank you, Ugly Children Brigade, for accepting me. I can never tell you how much that means to me."

The end of this book, Gabe decides he is going to go off to community college while Paige is off to college in the city. Community college will take anyone, so Gabe has a full semester to become legally Gabe. John knowing Gabe did not win the 'Vibe' because of his injury he brought his Tupelo guitar to New York for auction and gained twenty-five thousand. The money meant so much to him, Gabe thanked John then started to talk about his next show. Even though Gabe did not win the 'Vibe' or the money in the end it all worked out for Gabe. He has his family, Paige, his show and most importantly his music producer and idol, John.

I found this book to very inspiring to be outgoing and work hard for what you dream for. This story shows readers a great quote and lesson to keep the people you truly care about close to you. John and Paige showed a great motivation for Gabe to be his true self, no matter what Paul and Kyle did, Gabe was not giving up his name. The guitar was a great symbol in this book as well. the guitar showed how much Jonny really meant to Gabe and showed the hard work Gabe put into building a career with a difficult challenge. Gabe got to be who he truly is and was able to show the world.
