Willups Brighton

Willips Brighton was once nominated for a Teardrop Award for his song, "A Mouth Full Of Sores", about his struggle with herpes simplex II. He lost to Horace Loeb, who accidentally tossed his teardrop-shaped award into the chest of Brighton's son, killing him. This inspires Willips Brighton to write the song, "Ain't No Fun", which was nominated for the following year's Teardrop Awards. He and Loeb tied for first place, which made Brighton stab Loeb with the award in revenge.
