RADIO DJ:
Another classic from the one

and only Angus Scattergood.

Angus Scattergood.

RADIO DJ:
And we have the rock legend

himself on the phone right now.

(gasps)

- Angus, always a thrill.

ANGUS:
Well, if you get the thrill,

then everyone's thrilled.

RADIO DJ:
So how's your new

single coming along?

ANGUS:
New single is good.

- Uh, just on the last tweaks.

- Mm-hmm

And-- and I'm trying just to get back

to my roots.

You know,

back to where it all started.

RADIO DJ:
Where did it all start?

ANGUS:
I got my first six-string guitar

when I was a small cat.

(grunts)

(metallic clang)

ANGUS:
And I got on there

and the music came out,

and the words, you know...

(guitar strings resonating)

Once I started, there was no going back.

You know, I was just hooked, really.

(guitar music playing)

(guitar music playing)

So then I came down to the city

to Rock 'n' Roll Park,

'cause you know these musicians have taken

the whole thing over, mate.

And I found a band there in need

of a guitar, and then the rest is history.

History and geography

and a little bit of mathematics.

RADIO DJ:
Amazing.

So any advice

for up and coming musicians?

ANGUS:
Play your guts

out and-- and never stop.

Even when your dad says,

"Stop!" Don't stop.

(humming softly)

- Dad?

- Hmm-mmm.

Got some great news for you.

- Got some fabulous news.

- Mm-hmm.

I've decided to become a musician.

(gasps) What. Where'd you...

Did you break into the...

(groans)

My son, the thief.

I-- I know. I'm sorry, but see,

there's this guy named Angus!

And he was telling me

about Rock 'n' Roll Park,

and finding my band.

And it was, like, the answer

to the question of my life, Dad!

- Do you understand?

- Now I'm gonna have to get a new lock.

Like those things grow on trees

around here.

If you could feel what I'm feeling. Here.

(guitar music playing)

Stop that. Now. Bodi.

That's enough.

Hand it over. Give me the...

-(grunting)

- Bodi! Give me that! Give me...

Come here!

(objects clattering)

Hand it to me!

(grunting)

(guitar music continues)

(door closes)

You're not gonna be a musician, Bodi!

You're gonna be a guard.

Now, when you've come to your senses,

you're going to march down here
