I'll Be There
I can't see how
you can say that Roy Orbison...
had anything to do
with Pete Townshend whatsoever.
Now, that's just where
you're wrong, see?
Roy's use of feedback on the guitar solo
on "Ooby Dooby"...
good six or seven years.
I'm sayin' that the use of feedback
in the rock guitar solo...
was further back than The Who.
Further than Orbison even, back to the early
electric blues players in the '20s and '30s.
Well, they couldn't avoid feedback in
them days. The amps were rubbish, see?
That's my point.
Rock 'n' roll is not separate
from other music.
It's part of one big picture.
Like life. We're all connected.
If you're so smart, how come
you work as a housekeeper?
I'm an eccentric millionaire.
Why do you work as a gardener?
I am a gardener.
You've not had your coffee yet,
have you?
Cheeky Chops. Can you hold, please?
Irene, 3.00. Yes, that'll be good.
Bye. Cheeky Chops.
What exactly don't you like
about it, Mrs Williams?
It's a bit... African.
Ah, there she is,
Hi, Mum.
Hi, Gordo.
Oh, my God. Look at you. You look
like you slept in a tumble dryer.
Come here.
- Can I have 20 pounds, please, Mum?
- Why?
Well, I need currency to have a viable
existence in a capitalistic society.
- Ask a silly question...
- Why are you always asking me for money?
I'm a teenager.
It's our thing.
Ta.
Bloody poofy pop music.
- Bloody hell.
George, I love you.
You never loved me, did you, George? Did
you? Oh, George, you're not listening to me.
- I don't blame him.
Tragedy in the world of music.
Rock star Paul Kerr...
was rushed from his mansion
The hospital has made
no statements yet...
but unconfirmed reports are suggesting
that the musician attempted suicide.
Let's go. In the bus.
We're moving out.
- I thought we were staying here tonight.
- Change of plan.
How are you feeling, Mr Kerr?
Um... Well, um...
I'll probably be all right
if you set me up with some drugs.
I'm in a lot of pain.
I think, uh,
morphine would be good.
I'm a psychiatrist, not a dealer.
I don't want a psychiatrist.
I want a proper doctor.
- And morphine.
- Your injuries are superficial. You don't need morphine.
Then how about some Valium? I'm a wee
bit nervous about it happenin' again.
Yeah. Me too.
You often suicidal, Paul?
Come on. I was drunk.
I did something stupid.
It was a one-off.
I'm not suicidal.
You drove your motorcycle through
a second-floor window in your house.
Would you call that
the act of a sane man?
Hey, I'm a rock star.
I've driven cars into swimmin' pools
and thrown televisions out of windows.
It's part of the job.
Look, be reasonable.
Why would I try and kill myself?
I'm a happy guy.
I'm rich and I'm Scottish.
Doesn't get better than that.
You don't like me, do you?
I think you bring
a lot of hostility to your job.
What's the matter?
Did you have a bad childhood?
Do you still hear the lambs, Clarice?
Hey, you bloody kid,
get away from that bus.
That's rock 'n' roll history, that is.
Grandpa!
Still riding in that
little hair dryer, are you?
- I thought you'd have a Harley by now.
- Try telling Mum that.
Poor mother.
White sheep of the family.
- Where's the band?
- In the pub.
Of course. I thought you were
supposed to be going on tour.
Change of plan.
You know something? I'm really
jonesing for a nice cup of tea.
Come on, then.
Margaret, I love you.
did you, Margaret?
- Margaret, you're not listening to me.
