Oh, one other thing.

What's your immigration status?

Permanent legal resident.

Got a green card,

been here for years.

Good...

No prior arrests?

One.

You have a prior?

Arrest or conviction?

Half an ounce

of marijuana or something.

It was a long, long time ago.

But you're gonna need to

speak to an immigration lawyer.

I have a guy I recommend,

David Piper,

and I'll see if he can see you

first thing Monday morning.

Yeah, but I-I'm a

permanent legal resident.

- I got a green card.

- No, doesn't matter.

You should talk to Piper,

he's the guy.

Uh, oh, one last thing,

and this is important.

Do not drive while

your license is suspended.

We don't want to have a bad

situation get worse.

Okay?

- You all right?

- Yeah.

You mind if I go hang out?

Yeah, yeah.

All right.

Enjoy yourself, have fun.

We have a winner!

Jacob Welsh.

There's a bunch of kids

out there stuffing their face

with cherry pies.

Am I the only one that

finds that vaguely disturbing?

I met with your lawyer

friend today.

He seems like a decent guy.

I'll probably have to consult

with an immigration lawyer now.

What the hell's that mean?

You're illegal?

F*** off, Warren.

I'm practically

American these days.

They wouldn't

recognize me back home.

Did you see Melodie

out there today?

No.

She's like flippin'

that baton...

Boom!

Grabbed it out of the air

every single time,

never dropped it once.

But I remember Julian back

in the day, you know,

he's like out there dressed up

like a little cherry tree.

And he's, you know,

he's giving it everything

he's got, you know.

And it's like, every year

I dread coming to this thing.

And then I get here and I see

my kids and the parade

and I'm just, you know...

Hey, I'm...

I'm sorry, man.

Oh.

Not at all, Warren.

That's an absolutely

beautiful sentiment, brother.

Cheers.

Welcome to another

edition of "Flame-Outs".

The show where we

discuss the tragic

and sometimes

spectacular deaths

of the world's greatest

musicians.

I am your host,

Lachlan MacAldonich.

Tonight, Marc Bolan,

of T. Rex.

Back in the 1970's this guy was

the biggest star in the UK.

Immensely talented.

His car hit a tree

outside London

when he was just shy of 30.

His poor wife was driving.

Some would say that

Marc Bolan truly met his end

nine days previously when,

during his

last public appearance,

he slipped and fell over

on the TV

in front of millions.

His old pal, David Bowie,

standing there beside

him laughing,

already well on

his way to a lifetime

of Ziggy stardom.

But, this broadcast

is about tragedy.

And what could

be more tragic in the annals

of British Rock than

Marc Bolan?
