We're suppose to believe that Stix beat the mob?


Even if he sold Sparkle to the mob, he would have still been killed or they would have beat the hell out of him for not agreeing sooner. He gets off scotch free? Whatever happened to making an offer he can't refuse?

I know it's suppose to be a happy ending for him and Sparkle, but in reality, he would have been dead. Music is such a dangerous business.

Yep, all kinds of danger in the music business.

It is weird. I guess that the guy who gave him the money, Gerber, wanted Stix threatened and see if Stix would crack and give in. When Stix didn't, Gerber just laughed and, impressed with Stix's steeliness, let him go.
