so write it down.

Cancel Benson, Arizona on your itinerary.

You're into Phoenix, Arizona.

Sun Pavillion. 8 o'clock sharp.

How's that?

The Pavillion.

Hey, I called to tell you

you're out of the Red Bison lounge...

and opening a major show

in Phoenix.

Opening? Sh*t, I don't know...

Bad, cut the sh*t.

Where else are you gonna play

in front of twelve thousand people?

Opening for who?

You open for Tommy.

No, no.

No god-damn way.

I haven't convinced them

to do the record yet.../ i

but at least I got them to do this.

No, no. I'm not doing it, Jack.

I'm not opening for Tommy,

I'll open for someone else.

Who else are you gonna open for, Madonna?

Want me to call her?

The dream of every sideman is that

some day the front man ...

whose ass he's been staring at

for years will open for him.

I don't owe Tommy Sweet

a f***ing thing.

We both know.

Tommy owes you big.

But we also both know

how much this is worth.

I'll call you back this afternoon.

There is no time Bad. Yes or no?

I need time to think about this. Come on!

No time. Yes or no?

Yes, goddamn it! Yes, yes, yes, f*** yes!

All right. Okay.

Jesus Christ, it's like pulling it out of you.

Now don't f*** it up.

Let me ask you something.

Can I actually go backstage and

meet Tommy and everything?

That's very funny, but I don't

have time for this sh*t. Goodbye.

See you later,

you f***ing a**hole.

Okay boys, let's wing this thing

and put on the style.

I'll give you what you want.

Where does that damn wind go?

Thank you Santa Fe!

Good night and God

love you all!

God, I'm sorry.

I was waiting on the sitter for my son.

You know hard it is to find a sitter

at one o'clock in the morning.

I get off work at one o'clock.

I know how hard it is...

to find everything.

I'm just glad you found me.

Who's watching your boy?

A friend.

She just got there.

Wanna drink?

- All right.

Follow me.

- Okay.

Do you still have questions?

Just a couple. So...

where do all those songs come from?

Life, unfortunately.

Is this really what you

wanna talk about?

No, I guess not.

For some reason I can't explain...

I keep feeling obliged to apologise

for this ugly room.

and for being less than you

probably imagined me to be.

Is this that famous Country charm?

I was never famous for charm.

It's not too late to start.

Do you want something else for your article?

Let me get my recorder.

Come here.

I'm opening for Tommy

in Phoenix tomorrow.

Bad Blake's hit the big time.

- That's great, right?

That's what my agent says.

Will you come with me?

You're kidding.

I'm serious. Come on.

I can't.

How about...

I come over this morning

and fix you and your boy...
