Line 27:
B.J. is well respected for his skills, rapport with the community, and playing music the fans wanted to hear. At the same time, he works multiple jobs at local [[sock hop|record hops]], often into the early morning hours. His constant working leaves him little time for sleep, a point his mother repeatedly admonishes him about along with driving an old, poorly-maintained automobile. B.J. ignores these warnings and continues his lifestyle, often driving recklessly---and with limited sleep---to get to his radio station job on time.
The odds eventually catch up with B.J., just as his mother had feared. One rainy morning, B.J. loses control of his car when he misses a sharp curve, crashes into a ditch "at 90 miles per hour," and is killed. His fate at first remains unknown to his mother, although she immediately fears the worst when she hears the voice of a substitute disc jockey at [[sign-on]]. Those fears are confirmed when a policeman comes to her home to inform her that her son is dead.
