"Simple Triple Standard" is Historical Fiction gnawing the gut of local radio news reporter Bryant L Herman in a close-knit community rife with extrapolated double standards that garner deadly impact. This story is about how every day we are affected by standards, whether we perceive their presence or not.
"The Real Official, Almost True Backstory for Modern Commercial Radio" demonstrates common double standards. How much more complicated can a triple standard be, right? World famous Austin music celebrities, and behind the scenes radio personalities embody Bryant's descriptive of this genuine 1970s Texas-style nostalgic romp which also includes love and passion, and an unexpected lethal twist.
Bryant lives vicariously through the stories in the news and privately wonders if his own life will ever amount to something nearly as noteworthy. "When I was young and impressionable I saw some things that permanently changed me, changed my mind, and altered life even as I live it today."
"Things that are defined by standards are often that impactful. The world would surely be a terrible place without them though—standards I mean; you've got to have them. Too much of a good thing on the other hand is also impacting. Relative to where you stand, the impact can be deadly."
