His relentless desire to make music pulls him back to the stage where he forms a new band and an even better sound. Meanwhile, record company executives release newly-discovered tapes from Eddie's last album and promotes a worldwide search for the mysterious rock star.

do you think you are, coming down here,

telling me how to play

with my band?

Somebody should.

Hey, Rick, let him play.

A man's music speaks louder

than his words.

Let's see what you got.

All right.

Here, man, be my guest.

Be my guest.

(CHUCKLES)

This should be funny.

This should be

completely hilarious.

Hey, guys, let him play.

All right. I'll do

12 bar blues in C. All right.

Just follow me.

I'll count you in.

(PLAYING GUITAR)

EDDIE:
One, two,

three, four!

F!

C!

G!

C!

It was the Garden of Eden

The beginning of time

Adam said to Eve

"Little girl, I wanna make you mine"

"So wait a minute, big boy

"Not so fast

"I wanna think this over

Wanna love that's gonna last"

Eve said to Adam,

"Catch me if you can"

It's been the same old story

ever since the world began

Honey, I'd give you anything

in this great, big world

She said,

"Forget those rotten apples

"I'll take some diamonds

and some pearls"

He said,

"I don't know exactly what it is you mean"

Ever since

she could remember she had this pretty dream

Eve said to Adam,

"Catch me if you can"

It's been the same old story

ever since the world began

Hey, man,

you were great!

Get out of the way.

Hey, look, man,

I'm sorry, okay?

I'm sorry

about what I said.

Excuse me.

DIANE:
Hey, wait.

Hey, what are you

doing here?

Looking for you.

I saw the name of this bar

on the matches you used at the hockey game.

Guess it was luck.

Yeah, right, luck.

You go there often?

Yeah.

Seems like once too often.

So, you're

a tough guy, huh?

You're right,

you know.

I couldn't paint you.

I couldn't capture

how tough you are on canvas.

I'd probably need

a hammer and chisel,

just because

you're so tough.

Wait a minute.

Did you really come looking for me to...

Yes, I want

to paint you.

You need

a ride somewhere?

After you see my work,

maybe you'll change your mind.

Maybe I won't.

And maybe you will.

If that's not your band,

then where do you play?

I don't.

Why not?

You're very good.

Not good enough.

EDDIE:
You really like

green and blue, huh?

Mmm-hmm. But the red

is what's important.

I'm trying to exhaust

myself with red.

I don't get it.

At least you're honest.

No, I didn't mean that.

I like your paintings.

My first showing's

next week.

I hope the critics

agree with you.

(WORKERS LAUGHING)

Then I say to him,

"Didn't I see you earlier today?"

Excuse me.

Excuse me, sir. Yeah?

Do you know where West is?

Sh*t.

Joe West.

Think he's down there.

There he is, great.

Thanks a lot, man. Yeah, there he is.

RICK:
Hey! Hey, Joe!

Joe, wait!

I wanna talk to you!

This sucks!

This is for the birds, man!

Whoa!

Nice view, huh?

Especially down.
