Love and Other Troubles
Imagine you're holding the mic
with both hands.
Bend your knees.
Both knees. That's good.
Imagine there's a desert over there.
Sing into the horizon.
BRONSON CLUB PRESENTS
It starts in the heart.
Rock 'n' roll.
Rule number one:
Don't think. Go with the flow.
I'm starving. Do we have food? Huh?
Next up is contestant number four:
Ville Hietalahti.
Ville, how old are you?
Nine.
What is it like to be Taisto's son?
I don't really think about it.
I'm just me.
I'm sure your friends at school
know who your dad is,...
...so do they come and ask
how he's doing?
Do they ask
for your dad's autograph?
Dad's new record is now available
wherever fine music is sold.
Uh-huh... That's cool.
And it'll be cool when you sing...
...the next song,
which we all know so well.
Ville Hietalahti and "Where
Have All the Wild Horses Gone?"
Where have all the wild horses gone?
Where is the gypsy woman
who danced and sang?
Freedom can even bewitch one
who rules a vast empire
Where is the gypsy
who played guitar at the campfire?
Where is the gypsy woman...
Good job.
I haven't started yet.
Oh. What's on your mind?
You know what? You need a woman.
- Excuse me? - You have
that longing look on your face.
- It's been a while since the last time.
- What?
- Oh, nothing.
- Hi!
- Ville.
- Yeah?
Your dad... Taisto...
Tell him Leena said "hi."
You know how much I love his music.
- Mom, let's go.
- Yeah yeah.
I rexommend you start
taking it really easy now.
Try not to get too excited or
overly depressed about anything.
You want to be like Jimi Hendrix
or Burt Bacharach?
It's not...
What?
Dad.
You have some sort of a plan?
You're here now.
I mean...
...what are you doing here?
Don't be so analytical.
Live in the moment for once
and let fate guide you...
...and see what happens.
Can you wash these?
- You can have it.
- Thanks.
Gotta respect a guy
who makes a movie with a monkey...
...and then bexomes the president.
The man was right:
A great man.
I'll always have this with me.
- Bedtime for Bonzo.
- What?
That's the name of the movie
where he plays with the monkey.
He made it
after he said no to Casablanca.
Vmonos.
Put a suit on and we'll hit the bar.
Reading a book or watching a film.
Let's wrestle!
Could you get up? - This isn't fun
if you don't make an effort.
- Get up.
- Ville.
When I cast off my mortal xoil,
promise me...
...that you'll throw my ashes
to the winds. Ooh, Taisto.
No coffin.
No monuments or statues. - I don't
think you have to worry about that.
- Promise me you'll throw
my ashes to the winds. - Okay.
Want to go out for a drink?
Next up is contestant number four...
- How's it going?
- Great.
VILLE HIETALAHTI, 9 YEARS OLD
Now that you've drenched
your throats,...
...it's time to sing some more.
Next we'll travel to France.
Ville?
Next up is number 42. Number 42.
Ma'am, don't be afraid.
This is it. All or nothing.
All pressure is on one man.
And he fails.
The Finn fails,
even though his style is alright.
However, it fails in practice...
Ville.
Ville.
Reagan.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Are you awake?
- Yeah.
Err. Could I...
...borrow your bed?
- What?
You see, I got this...
...thing going on.
- Uh-huh.
- So would it be okay if I put
this blanket over you? - What?
So that I wouldn't have to go
into lengthy explanations...
...about who the gloomy-looking guy
on the xouch is.
Whoops!
Wait.
Put your head on the pillow.
It's late.
She wanted to see my snake
