A long time ago, in fact,
I had to reconcile the...

:26:08
Paul the guitar player
with Paul the guitar teacher.

:26:11
'Cause our goals are very different.
If I succeed as Paul the guitar teacher...

:26:15
I'm making kids who are, frankly,
better guitar players than me...

:26:18
which Paul the guitar player
doesn't like at all.

:26:20
Sometimes a kid'll get good...
:26:22
and I'll start practicin' to stay
a couple steps ahead of them.

:26:32
Probably what got me started
in rock music...

:26:34
was what got
a lot of people started.

:26:35
One, I loved music growin' up.
:26:37
Two, I noticed that if I played guitar,
people noticed me.

:26:41
Music and, sort of, playing
guitar sort of came easy to me.

:26:45
I noticed that it set me apart
from people, and I enjoyed that.

:26:48
I really feel like Paul...
:26:53
was and is, like, a genius musician.
:26:58
Man, the stuff he used to write
for the band was really incredible.

: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.
