I'm not calling him though.

FOLK, MAN SINGING]

Aye, okay. I'll make some calls.

F***ing families, eh?

I bet you my pop wouldn't even recognize me

if he saw me now.

I haven't talked to him in so long.

I don't even know

if they know I'm alive or not.

Don't let me down

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog

Barking up my tree

You ain't nothin'

but a hound dog

if you're looking for trouble, then you've

come to the right shop.

Barking up my tree

Well, you ain't never

brought no rabbit back home

How in the hell

you gonna feed me?

Well, you said

you was high class

- Yeah.

- How was the trip over?

No.

You know, I-I'm not ready,

and I look a bit of a mess.

Next time you're a mess it'll be-

Sleepin' in the morning

- How's he doing?

- Life of the party.

- Yeah-eah-eah

- Do you fancy meeting up tonight then?

Whoo-ooh-ooh

- Yeah-eah-eah

- About 9:
00.

At The Scotch.

He hasn't got his work visa yet,

so he can only play for about a minute.

Two old maids laid in bed

One looked at the other one and said

Sh*t, I forgot the words.

Hey, Jimmy, let's get

you back to the hotel.

Wait. Kathy's got to meet him.

Come on. Get up. Come on.

You've got to see

what Chas has brought round.

- He looks like the Wild Man of Borneo.

- Get me a drink.

- Rita!

- I want her to meet Jimmy!

- Stop screaming.

- Rita!

We'll meet you at The Scotch!

- No, it's an interesting... evening.

- N'

I'm just gonna be one second.

Hi. Hi. How are you?

Hey, Linda. What's going on?

- You doing okay?

- Yeah. Yeah. You all right?

Yeah, yeah. So, you guys found it.

Yeah, yeah.

- Is he already here?

- Yeah. Let's go inside.

I'm very sober.

- Won't get too drunk tonight then.

- Oh, I know.

Oh, my God, that's the guy

I was telling you about.

- I like his hair.

- He's wild.

He does look wild though.

- Do you want a drink?

- I'll have white wine.

Two white wines, please.

It's a good crowd tonight.

What's his name again?

I don't know whether I should try

and get it all done this evening...

or whether I should get up early tomorrow.

You should.

I mean, don't procrastinate.

I'm just gonna pop to the loo.

Have you got a light on you?

Chas has probably got one.

Let me go and find one from him

and I'll be back in a minute.

I'm sorry, darling. Excuse me.

Light?

- Do you know Jimmy?

- Hiya. No.

- This is Kathy.

- Kathy. Nice to meet you.

- Where are you from?

- Well, I'm from Seattle originally.

Seattle. Where's that then?

- You know California?

- Yeah, I've heard of that place.

Well, it's north of California.

- I like your scarf.

- Oh, thank you.

- That's quite cool.

- Thank you. Appreciate it.

- Yeah, I like that.

- Thank you.

I like your shirt as well.

Did you get those clothes from America?

What's it like?

Well, no.

I've heard of it. Haven't been there.

I like your laugh.

Yeah, Seattle, Washington.

That's where I'm from.

Oh, Washington! Where the president lives.

No. No, it's the other Wash-

That's Washington DC.

Do-Do you mind asking that woman

to move out of my seat?

That's how we are.

You're silly. I like that.

I know. I

like that about you too.

I don't understand geography.

- Can you ask her to move out my seat?

- She's just having herself-

I didn't ask you.

Just being social, love.

- Why don't you be social elsewhere.

- Sod off, you posh cow!

- Do you know her?

- Yeah, she's a friend.

Tell your f***ing friend

to f*** the f*** off!

Whoa.

Anyway, no, I haven't been.

You have a beautiful, beautiful mouth.

- Hey, can I tell you something?

- Yeah, go on.

Move out of my f***ing seat!

- PATRONS YELLING]

- F***ing hell!

Can you just-Can you just-

From a point at sea

to the circles of your mind...

a new force is at work

for planetary transformation.

New radio for a new world

on 96.3 kilohertz medium wave...

Europe's voice of love and awareness

is Radio Caroline.

You can catch it if you want a ride

Don't you worry'

If it pass you by

You can catch it'

if you want' a ride

Don't you worry'

If it pass you by

Lord, you know

the reason why

On this train

Till I die

The train I ride

Goes to God knows where

I don't know

And I don't care

Jesus! F***!

- Jesus Christ.

- What are you-

Linda, no!

The train I ride

goes to God knows where

What the f*** was that?

It was my guitar.

I apologize for last night.

I think I just let my emotions, urn...

get the better of me.

That's cool. Yeah, no problem.

You've had one day, Jimmy.

You've had one day in London, and you've

just made such a royal mess of things.

Well, I-l didn't plan it.

You know, I don't have experience.

You're putting things out

in some kind of order?

I mean, you pulling me from a club,

that wasn't a plan.

There's no way I could have

planned for that.

It's just how it is.

There's no accounting for people.

I mean, sometimes they're-

You know, they're just like,

whoo, and everything's cool...

and... sometimes they'd

rather just get high...

than be a mother to their kid.

Well, that was a very short travel...

from your mother leaving you...

to you f***ing every girl

that you see.

Is that how you intend to hobble along?

Is that gonna be your crutch?

I got no intentions.

I see how intentions do people.

They're like, I'm gonna plan to do this

and I'm planning to do that.

And as soon as things don't work out,

it fucks them all up.

I'm not with that, man.

I have my own thing, my own time, in its

own space, and everything is beautiful.

All this other stuff is just-

Well, it's reality.

But you can't change the world.

If I could, only thing

I'd probably do is just put-

I'd like a little bit more color

on the streets.

Other than that, man,

just take sh*t how it comes.

But your problem is that

you're gonna stumble

around and you're

gonna think that...

that's enough...

that genius is enough

to win the day for you...

and that you're gonna

take things how they come.

But this is what I'm

trying to tell you, Jimmy.

You can't leave it to other people

to sort out your life.

This is your life.

Please, will you just have at it.

- You say-

- I do, yes.

I'm s-supposed to listen to you, huh?

Listen to you tell me

about being more myself?

But what's the alternative?

You don't listen to me,

so you listen to everybody else?

Why should I listen to you though?

Because I love you.

When I saw you at the Cheetah Club...

there were about 20 people

in a space for a thousand...

and those 20 people, they just-

they were chatting and

they were drinking...

and they were completely ignoring

what was happening on stage.

And I wanted to turn to them all

and I wanted to say...

Are all of you completely mad?

Can't you see him?

Can't you see what he can do?

I don't think any of this

even means anything to you.

You never listen to anything I said.

You never have.

I always do.

Always.

What? What?

What?

The first night that we spent together

I said to you...

Whatever you do, don't
