* Clay claims his wife Ruby inspired all of his songs. Since Clay is all but stated to be the in-universe counterpart to his voice actor Bono, it can potentially recontextualize some of the latter's songs that are used for the movie. "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of" is one example. In real life, Bono wrote the song after a conversation he wished he could've had with his friend and fellow U2 member Michael Hutchence before he was DrivenToSuicide. In-universe, it's implied through photographs that Ruby died of a degenerative disease. She was likely in a similar emotional dead end at some point, and so Clay wrote the song as a way to get her out of it. No wonder the song helped him cope with his grief.

** The second-to-last lyrics in the chorus of "Stuck in an Moment You Can't Get Out Of" usually alternates between "don't say that later will be better" and "oh love, look at you now"; the former being in the first and last chorus and the latter only being in the second chorus. In the movie however, "oh love, look at you now" is sung in the first and second chorus, with "don't say that later will be better" saved until the last. It's possible that this was meant to be Ash reminding Clay of the words he once told his wife and applying them to Clay himself in the present, before directly telling him that he'll never feel better until he moves on from Ruby's death.

** Another consideration is that it's also reflective of how much the group understands each other's skills. He knows that if there IS trouble, he's the best bet for buying time and keeping the others safe. Ash, Rosita, and Gunther are smaller and not as physically strong, and Meena is infinitely too gentle to get in a scuffle. He's got SOME physical training (in what looks like boxing, most likely), and has the physical strength to manhandle most other people if it comes to that. So, naturally, he'd be the first one to be between anyone and the Moon crew.

** Seemingly yes. From the looks of things, the reason why Buster and his crew were able to carry out the entirety of their show without being attacked (save for Jimmy Crystal himself, during his second attempt to kill Buster) is because Marcus, Stan and Barry knocked out / incapacitated Mr. Crystal's entire security team backstage. This might also be the reason why Norman and the kids were able to slip back inside the theater just in time to see Rosita's act, instead of being thrown out of the building.

* Ash may not be working at the New Moon Theatre like the other contestants in the start, but it's clear she still shares the same spirit as they do. This is subtly demonstrated at the rock club when she performs "Heads Will Roll", which just so happens to use the {{Catchphrase}} of the Queen of Hearts in the chorus ("Off with your head!"), and the Theatre was performing a rendition of ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'' around that time.
