Why is it the Will O'Connor Award?
:53:02
Because when you meet Will O'Connor,
he says, "Hi. My name's Paul Green. "
:53:05
I'm Paul Green. He says, "Hi. My name's
Will I tried to kill myself three times. "
:53:08
And then he tells the stories,
and they're funny stories.
:53:10
And if they're funny to him,
they're okay to me.
:53:12
When Paul does it, it's all right, because
it's in the close quarters of Rock School.
:53:16
And my parents
certainly didn't know about it.
:53:19
They kinda think
Paul's an immature child.
:53:22
He really needs to be more of an adult
in the way he handles his business.
:53:26
They call him a Peter Pan.
He likes to appeal to children.
:53:28
He never wants to grow up.
:53:30
He can't be an adult in real society,
so he surrounds himself with children...
:53:32
where he can be the hero.
:53:36
He said, "My mom's not gonna pay for lessons.
She's furious and thinking of suing you. "
:53:39
It took a lot of doing and work
for her not to get a lawyer on my part.
:53:43
In fact, the irony is
is that since Will joined Rock School...
:53:47
all chance of him attempting
suicide pretty much ran out the door...
:53:49
because in this place
he found, you know, it's a breeding...
:53:52
Not a breeding ground. It's a meeting
place for misfits of all shape and sizes.
:53:59
No. No "Purple Rain. "
:54:04
- "Purple Daze. "
- No "Purple Rain," no.
:54:06
Why don't you fuckin' do the songs
you don't know? No "Purple Rain. "
:54:09
- Paul, what do you want me to do?
- I want you to know the song!
:54:11
- I know the song.
- I want you to know the keyboard!
:54:14
Get people in your songs together...
:54:16
and teach them so you
are all playing the same parts.
:54:18
I want people to understand when they
sound good and listen to their own parts...
:54:20
and have some fuckin' pride
in this shit.
:54:22
That's a mess.
Don't fuckin' shake your head.
:54:25
He'll bash heads with me a lot,
you know, around other people.
:54:28
But when it's just the two of us,
or like three of us hanging out...
:54:33
you know, me and, like, one other person
and Paul, he'll tell me...
:54:35
you know, like,
you know I don't hate you.
:54:37
Did you ever get together
with the people on this song once?
:54:39
- Yes, I did.
- How come they don't know how it goes?
:54:41
I don't know, Paul. 'Cause they don't know
how to play their instruments maybe.
:54:43
Oh, and you're so fuckin' hot.
All right?
:54:46
I don't know, Paul.
What do you want me to do?
:54:48
I want you to get the people
and have them learn their songs!
:54:50
I'm doing everything I can.
:54:52
That's what I've been saying
since the beginning!
:54:54
You weren't even playing
the right parts.
:54:56
I kept cuing you,
and you wouldn't play it.
:54:58
Madi would have been
out of here a long time ago...
