Not Fade Away Page #7

Synopsis: On a train, Keith and Mick chat about the blues and the Rolling Stones are born. Douglas and Joe chat in front of a New Jersey music store, and a band is born: as Douglas's sister tells us, it's one of many that don't make it. We follow Douglas from high school (1963-64), when he sees himself as a loser, into the band, playing drums and singing backup - then as the front man. There are tensions, a breakup, an audition in front of a major player, and decisions. Douglas pursues Grace, a country-club gal with hip sensibilities who believes in him. There's also his father, working class, wanting Douglas to apply himself as he watches his own life fill with regrets.

Here. Now you keep

your goddamn mouth shut.

Dad...

Okay, good!

They're easy to install!

Bye!

I gave him a pork shoulder.

I put it in with his things.

# Here's a long

life to Vassar

# Wave we her

flag unfurled

My mother has got your room all ready.

Hi, Doug.

We just got invited to this party

in Hollywood.

Come on.

Do you know where

Rod Serling lives?

That's Charlie Watts, man.

F***!

Have you seen Grace?

She was with the dog.

What?

It was shaking and

had diarrhea,

or somebody maybe

gave it DMT.

I got to tell her I just

saw Charlie Watts!

Did a tall girl go in

the bathroom?

I'm looking for

my girlfriend.

I have to pee so bad.

They didn't want anyone

coming down this way.

Somebody said Jagger

was in there for a while

with some chicks.

Nobody at that party really,

actually saw Jagger.

I saw Charlie, man.

What, you think The Stones

all ride around together

in some stupid van

like you and your wiffle-ball

friends back in Jersey?

That place was packed.

She could have been looking for you.

And then left.

She told me you said

you believed in her.

Hi. Get in.

You look lonesome.

Come on, man.

Get in.

Radio magic. KMJK.

The music of tomorrow.

I had to write this

term paper.

And I made it about how

America has given the world

two inventions of

enormous power.

One is nuclear weapons.

The other is rock and roll.

It's a question,

I wrote,

which one is going to

win out in the end.
