Episode Title:
Rock Hard.
Episode Description:
While at an old record store, Peter and his friends recount tales of three rock legends: Peter imagines himself as Jim Morrison, who founds The Doors alongside Ray Manzarek, but various personal issues start to affect his music career, culminating in his death via a heroin overdose. Spoofing Green Book, Jerome imagines himself as Muddy Waters (referred to as "Muddy Drawers"), who sells his soul to the devil in order to better his musical ability. His music career ends up in ruins when his new Italian American friend steals his songs, revealing himself to be Elvis Presley, and gets famous without giving him credit, leaving Muddy stuck in obscurity. Stewie envisions himself as Elton John, who is pushed by his parents to become a gay musician. He then faces stress from his manager and drugs and manages to become a music icon. After being in the hospital, Elton wants him and his music writer to "do where are they now", only for him to be sad of how he ends up looking, then the two switch over to roasting Sean Hannity. After the stories, Peter states they should remember the four member band from the 60's who changed music forever. Quagmire thinks Peter is referring to The Beatles, but Peter says he was referring to The Trashmen, proceeding into a clip of "Surfin' Bird" with Peter, Cleveland, Joe and Quagmire as the band.
