:50:01
He has a bone disorder, and his...
he was walking around for a month...
:50:05
with his leg
out of his hip socket.
:50:09
Yeah. And he can't come tonight,
he can't come tomorrow...
:50:11
but he will be playing the show on Sunday,
but he has to sit down to play.
:50:14
- Wow, that's great.
- C.J.
:50:16
And maybe it'll be like
the start of a tradition...
:50:18
and he'll be, like,
a sit-down guitar player.
:50:20
Can anybody name
a sit-down guitar player?
:50:27
- Yeah, C.J.!
- C.J.!
:50:33
Bottom left. Bottom left. Bottom left.
That's right, right there.
:50:38
I was thinking about it...
:50:41
and do I really wanna do this?
:50:43
But I knew my dream was to,
like, be a rock star, you know.
:50:46
It was like... I mean, I was thinking
I might not wanna do this...
:50:50
but I think I'm gonna have to.
:50:52
Ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. C.J. Tywoniak.
:50:56
Fresh from an operation
on his legs... three days ago?
:50:59
- Friday, right? Last Thursday?
- Yeah.
:51:01
Then he told the doctor he would wait
unless he could play the show tonight.
:51:04
So, let's give him a big hand.
:51:09
The thing I tell the kids
a lot lately is...
:51:12
in one sense, music is
the most selfish act.
:51:16
But if you can actually
get up there and play music...
:51:18
and make people smile,
there's nothing like that.
:51:20
And if I create kids who go out there
and play music selfishly...
:51:25
and in spite of themselves and
make other people happy by doing that...
:51:29
and make themselves happy...
:51:31
and understand that when
youre just playing music...
:51:34
to create music,
you're at your best...
:51:36
that's enough.
:51:41
Let me tell you something else.
I'm gonna be a jerk for a minute.
:51:45
The Philly Enquirer
is coming in here tomorrow.
:51:47
They're gonna come a few times.
:51:49
They're gonna write a story
in the Sunday Magazine.
:51:51
Okay? About me.
:51:53
The circulation of the Sunday Enquirer
is like two million people.
:51:57
I'm gonna have
a million new students.
