[ Narrator]

As a big Talking Heads fan...

Bob has decided to try out the song

"Life During Wartime " for the show...

which hes giving to Joe

and his best friend Lenny.

Joe, youre gonna be singing...

- Heard of a van that

is loaded with weapons -

[ Narrator]

Joe is a phenomenon in the chorus...

an 83-year-old who went through

six bouts of chemotherapy...

before ignoring

his doctor's advice...

to join the most

recent tour to Europe.

I'd like you to listen to them.

I s this the one that we- That's the one that-

the side that plays, right?

- What?

- I s this the side that plays?

- Yes! [ Laughing ]

- This is the side, right?

The one that says " New Music" on it.

This is the side that plays.

I don't think so.

It's this side.

- When you put it in the, uh-

in the, uh, CD player-

- You put this side up.

Oh, I thought it was

this side that played.

- No, I think it plays with this side.

- Oh, boy.

I'm not familiar

with the electronics.

- A Yankee Doodle do or die -

- A real, live nephew

of my Uncle Sam -

- Born on the Fourth of July -

[ Stephen Narrating]

Every week for the past decade...

Lenny, Joe and Eileen have traveled

to and from rehearsals together.

A great friendship

has grown up between them.

They call themselves

the Three Musketeers.

- I am a Yankee Doodle boy --

- Should I give it the gas?

- When youre a star, everybody wants you. Right?

- [ Siren Wailing ]

- Oh, boy.

[ Stephen Narrating ] Since Lenny,

an ex- World War II pilot...

is the only one of them that can

actually see properly, he gets to drive...

an activity he performs

with great gusto.

- [Joe ] Lenny, they knew you were coming.

- [ Lenny Laughing ]

They got me.

I thought they would eventually.

- [ Tires Screeching ]

- [ Stephen ] Those are tight turns

you're doing there, Lenny.

- Oh, yeah? Okay.

- Yeah.

- Those are some tight turns.

- [Joe ] I told you he was a good driver.

[ Stephen ] You're gonna have me through

the window in a second at this rate.

[ Eileen ] The way you drive, Lenny,

weve got it made.

Im not going any faster than I usually go.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Eileen ] No. We dont need you to.

You're a good, confident driver.

[Joe ]

Hes got good brakes on this.
