:27:02
I mean, really innovative and amazing.
:27:04
You know the movie Almost Famous?
:27:06
Saw that movie, great movie. It's just
a feel-good movie. You're smilin;
:27:09
With all the music
and the good feelings in that movie...
:27:12
I realized I still
wanted to be a rock star...
:27:14
but I wanted to be
a rock star in 1972.
:27:16
Like, I'd never want to be
a rock star now, you know?
:27:18
So, like, I get to do music, live off it,
not have to cut fish for a living.
:27:24
And at the same time...
:27:26
not have all the attendant pratfalls
of being a musician in today's age.
:27:57
Okay. That gentleman's name
is Napoleon Murphy-Brock.
:28:00
I got ahold of him
last night. I talked to him.
:28:02
And I said, "If you could
tell the kids one thing"...
:28:06
At some point, I'm gonna bring him here,
and he's gonna talk to you kids.
:28:09
'Cause maybe you'll listen to him.
You know what I'm sayin'?
:28:11
'Cause he only played, you know,
in the Zappa band and... is awesome.
:28:16
And he said this.
I swear to God. Verbatim.
:28:18
When he performs, he realizes
that those people out in the audience...
:28:23
could have sat home
and watched TV that night.
:28:25
But they came to see you,
and they deserve a show.
:28:28
And not a plaid-shirt-
and-baseball-hat-and-jeans...
:28:32
we're-just-three-guys-playing-
three-chords-up-here show.
:28:35
'Cause that shit sucks.
And it has no staying power.
:28:39
Okay? But a real show.
:28:41
He said the best way to have
the audience love what you do...
:28:44
is you love it and let it show.
:28:45
And I'm not tellin' you this.
Napoleon Murphy-Brock's tellin' you this.
:28:48
You went to see Zappa
back in the day, he's gonna...
:28:51
You buy your ticket, he's goin' out
and gonna put on three hours...
:28:54
and you're not gonna be bored
for one second.
:28:56
That's what I'm tryin'
to teach you guys to do.
:28:57
I'm tryin' to teach you guys to be way
above any of that stuff that's there now.
