''Sid Stills' Blues (Three-Quarters in the Bag in Alphabet City)'' is a 2011 story by shukyou and illustrated by serenity_winner, originally published in the zine Shousetsu Bang*Bang in Issue 34.
Sid Stills is a sixty-one-year-old jaded musician who hasn't released any music in fifteen years. He is content with fading away into obscurity until he meets one of his fans, Nathan Vaughn, the twenty-five-year old former lead singer of a pop punk band who is now embarking on a solo career. Slowly, Sid realizes that maybe he still has something left to offer the world.
