Devil-John's Nightclub

In John's place, Easy can relax because he feels like he is back home. He feels a sense of belonging and finds comfort in having Houston fellows around. This goes along with his holding on to his past, when he dreamed of the opportunity awaiting him in LA. The real LA is not like the dream but "sitting there and drinking John's scotch you could remember the dreams you once had and, for a while, it felt like you had them for real"(72).
