I'm Not There. Page #9

# It's a wicked lie #

# But what the hell #

# Don't everybody got to eat? #

# And I'm just the same #

# As anyone else #

# When it comes to scratchin' #

# For my meat #

# Goin' to Acapulco #

# Goin' on the run #

# Goin' down #

# To see that girl #

# Gonna have some fun #

# It's not a bad way to make a livin' #

# And I ain't complainin' none #

# Well, I can blow my plum #

# And drink my rum #

# And then go on home #

# And have my fun #

# Goin' to Acapulco #

# Goin' on the run #

# Goin' down to see that girl #

# Gonna have some fun #

# Yeah #

# Gonna have some fun #

Trouble was, I'd grown

partial to the place...

that sudden smell of fear

and the thrill of waiting up

for the end of the world.

# I'm not your stepping stone #

# You're trying to make

your mark in society #

# You're losin' all the friends... #

Congratulations, you're a millionaire.

- Huh?

- They agreed to everything.

- Full guarantees.

- How many dates?

There's 55 additional, I think it was.

Plus the 30?

Well, 29, minus tonight is 28.

That's 83 total.

83 shows?

Well, it's not really 83 shows...

Man, I can't do 83 more shows.

It's going to f***ing kill me

doing 83 more shows.

Who the f*** said I ever

wanted to be a millionaire?

Jude!

Hey.

Far out show.

Thanks, man.

Grab a throne.

Really?

Far out.

You know Norman, my executioner.

Norman, this is Brian Jones

from that groovy covers band.

# Now you're walkin' round

like you're front page news #

# You've been awful careful

'bout the friends you choose #

# But you won't find my name

in your book of Who's Who #

# I said I'm not your stepping stone #

Find the drinks.

Look at all these medicines.

Hey, man, what... what are those?

Mandies.

They make you sleep.

Sleep! I ain't sleepin'.

Sleep's for dreamers.

I haven't slept in 30 days, man.

Takes a lot of medicine

to keep up this pace.

Coco!

Norman, darling.

I know I'm a wretch for being late.

And it was entirely my fault.

Hey, what's happening?

I feel like complete sh*t

is what's happening.

Well, you don't look it.

Aw, true love...

here in the land

of Charles Atlas and the bomb.

Oh, f*** off.

She's been kinda... uptight lately.

Oh, she has.

Oh, I see.

Yes, in fact, if you'd like to know,

it's been complete sh*t.

- Angelina's been missing for four days.

- Her cat.

Judey knows who Angelina is,

don't you, Judey?

If you're asking if I remember

your little p*ssy, of course I do.

Charming.

She has the sweetest little p*ssy.

If you don't count the teeth.

Okay, man.

Oh, but properly protected.

Meow!

- Baby!

- Don't call me that!

Slow down, slow down, slow down.

I tell you, love and sex are two things

that really hang people up.

Why that is...

I'll... I'll never fully understand.

Death to all those

who would whimper and cry.

Did she... Do you think she...

Don't worry, man.

She'll be back.

Chick's gotta sh*t on something.

What do you mean?

What do I mean?

Who are you?

I mean...

who gave you permission

to even be here?

You're... You're like a shadow, man.

Maybe you were hip once,

but that trick got old, man,

a long time ago.

Now, every time

you open your mouth,

it's like, how long is this gonna take?

It's not like anyone's

gonna tell you to your face.

No one wants to deal,

you know, with, like,

a pathetic situation.

Guess I'm the a**hole, right?

Because I'm the only one

with any balls.

Oh, man, it's sad.

You used to be funny.

And you honestly think

that chick sees you

as anything but a... as a tool?

Oh, no, you're kidding me.

I can't even watch this.

The sky isn't yellow.

It's chicken.

You know, people said

you could be a real cocksucker.

Well, it's not what goes

into a man's mouth, babe,

that defiles it.

No, it's what comes out.

Good and evil were invented

by people trapped in scenes.

Uh!

Oh, damn it.

Come on, let's get him outta here.

Get that door!

# I'm beginning to hear voices #

# And there's no one around #

# Now I'm all used up #

# And the fields have turned brown #

# 20 miles out of town #

# Cold irons bound #

Son, you better get down

off of that thing.

You're liable to get yourself killed!

How does it feel?

# I got to know, Lord #

# When to pull back on the reins #

# Death can be the result of the most

underrated things #

Man that is born of woman

is of few days...

and full of trouble.

Why don't you do your early stuff?

# Satan whispers to ya #

# Well, I don't wanna bore ya #

# But when you get tired

of that Miss So-and-So #

# I got another woman for ya #

Why, when nations rage

and kingdoms totter,

when disaster follows hard upon disaster

and terror hangs on every side...

Why hast Thou made me Thy mark?

# Trouble in mind, Lord #

# Trouble in mind #

# Lord, take away this trouble in mind #

It's hard not to go to hell.

There's so many distractions,

so many influences.

Start walking right,

and pretty soon,

there's someone

gonna drag you down.

Sure as we're living, sure as we're born,

look up, look up.

Gabriel blows his horn.

He was having a lot of worries,

telling me things.

I just asked him one day,

I said, "Have you ever prayed?"

And he said, "Pray?"

You know, like that.

And he started asking

a lot of questions.

I didn't know him then,

but I sure knew who he was.

People worshipped him.

Maybe only Jesus

could've unburdened

someone like that

from such omnipotence.

In spring of 1974,

Jack Rollins followed

girlfriend Angela Reeves

to Stockton, California,

and enrolled in a course in Bible study

here at the California

Gateway Brotherhood Church,

a Pentecostal assembly

just outside Stockton.

Six months later,

Rollins accepted Jesus into his heart.

Today, the one-time '60s folk hero

is a fully ordained member

of the Gateway Ministry

and an active figure in the state's

evangelical community.

And yet, for the past two decades,

Father John has remained

silent about his past.

I asked him why.

Old things are passed away.

All things are made anew.

It doesn't matter what I did before.

I've never lied to you.

Never told you who to vote for

or to follow anybody,

back then when

I was selling my records.

What I didn't know

is that it didn't matter

what kind of music you were playing.

Folk, pop, rock 'n roll...

we're all rolled up

in the devil's pocket.

Now, I'm not talking about a devil

with the pitchfork and horns.

I'm talking about a spiritual devil

in the midnight hour.

He's gotta be overcome.

And we here in America,

we shall overcome.

What greater honor for a nation

than to speak for God?

For some say that the war

to end all wars

has already begun

right now in the Middle East,

where it is prophesized

that the weak will fall.

And that Jesus will set up

His kingdom in Jerusalem.

So why should we worry

when we're already free,

right here, right now?

And why are you free?

You're free because Jesus

paid for you to be.

That's why you're free.

You're free to seek
