0:00:03 > 0:00:07Never bear a grudge, or you'll end up like Kirk Douglas in that movie.

0:00:07 > 0:00:09A prisoner of his own past.

0:00:10 > 0:00:14What's the point of disliking somebody or hating...?

0:00:15 > 0:00:21I mean, you end up, like, sour, you know? And it's...

0:00:21 > 0:00:25It ain't going to do you any good, you know what I mean?

0:00:25 > 0:00:30It might make you feel better, "Oh, I hate that motherfucker, grr!"

0:00:30 > 0:00:33But in reality...

0:00:33 > 0:00:34nothing comes out of that.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38How important is it to be honest with yourself?

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Oh, I never... Never go there!

0:00:43 > 0:00:46No, I'm most brutal on myself, actually.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51I mean, I really don't think much of meself.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54I just know that a lot of other people do.

0:00:54 > 0:00:59I could be a lot better, I could apply myself more to my work.

0:00:59 > 0:01:04Room for improvement, as it would come up on the school report card!

0:01:07 > 0:01:12I don't really judge myself much, you know, but, I mean...

0:01:13 > 0:01:17I would hate to be a guy that thought he was great.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19You know?

0:01:19 > 0:01:23Worrying about self-esteem or, you know,

0:01:23 > 0:01:29what other people think about you, basically a waste of time, you know?

0:01:29 > 0:01:30It's... Get on with it.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34You've got the one life - that we know of.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37It always works for me to just be me.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41I don't really care what people think I am.

0:01:41 > 0:01:46I've read the best things about me and the worst things about me.

0:01:46 > 0:01:52I mean, sort of set-up for that situe and...

0:01:52 > 0:01:55and you live with it, you know?

0:01:55 > 0:01:59And I think no more about the praise than I do about the damnation.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05What about the idea of retiring?

0:02:05 > 0:02:06What else am I going to do?

0:02:06 > 0:02:09I mean, as long as I've got the boys with me

0:02:09 > 0:02:11and you still feel that, like,

0:02:11 > 0:02:15you're really bringing this band to its peak

0:02:15 > 0:02:18and especially... musician-wise, especially.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Why would you want to quit?

0:02:21 > 0:02:24It gets boring, you know, doing nothing.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29OWL HOOTS

0:02:33 > 0:02:36There's no such thing as getting old.

0:02:36 > 0:02:41Only people who've got a problem think, "Oh, I'm getting old."

0:02:41 > 0:02:44No, I'm evolving. That's what we do.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48You know, you get born and you evolve -

0:02:48 > 0:02:50until you croak, and, uh...

0:02:52 > 0:02:54You know, I'm evolving.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Halfway through the game, I'd say.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02It does help to do it gracefully!

0:03:05 > 0:03:08But, I don't know, some people think I'm graceful,

0:03:08 > 0:03:11other people think, you know, something else.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14I'm doing it gracefully in my own way,

0:03:14 > 0:03:19and it ain't that tough. All you've got to do is stick around.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Are you afraid of anything?

0:03:22 > 0:03:27Does anything worry you? There must be things. You're a human being.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29You know, that's...

0:03:30 > 0:03:32That's a tough one.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35As a kid? Nobody's invincible.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39So what do you think of all of this, what's your greatest achievement?

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Breathing.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45You know, still being alive.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48It's lovely to be here. It's lovely to be anywhere.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53There is that bit of me that's sort of like,

0:03:53 > 0:03:58"In defiance of all your predictions I'm still here", you know,

0:03:58 > 0:04:02but at the same time, I'm only 72

0:04:02 > 0:04:05and I aim for another 30 years yet.

0:04:08 > 0:04:12I'm going to leave you with Hoagy singing How Little We Know

0:04:12 > 0:04:16with Lauren Bacall from the movie To Have And Have Not.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20You all set, Slim?

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Sure, but don't make it sad, Cricket. I don't feel that way.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25You don't look that way, either. Let's go.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Top note, boys.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30BAND PLAYS

0:04:34 > 0:04:37# Maybe it happens this way

0:04:37 > 0:04:40# Maybe we really belong together

0:04:40 > 0:04:43# But after all

0:04:43 > 0:04:46# How little we know

0:04:48 > 0:04:51# Maybe it's just for a day

0:04:51 > 0:04:54# Love is as changeable as the weather

0:04:54 > 0:04:57# And after all

0:04:57 > 0:05:00# How little we know

0:05:00 > 0:05:07# Who knows why an April breeze never remains?

0:05:07 > 0:05:15# Why stars in the trees hide when it rains?

0:05:15 > 0:05:22# Love comes along, casting a spell

0:05:22 > 0:05:24# Will it sing you a song?

0:05:24 > 0:05:26# Will it say a farewell?

0:05:28 > 0:05:29# Who can tell?

0:05:29 > 0:05:33# Maybe you're meant to be mine

0:05:33 > 0:05:39# Maybe I'm only supposed to stay in your arms a while. #

0:05:39 > 0:05:41As others have done.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46# Is this what I've waited for?

0:05:46 > 0:05:50# Am I the one?

0:05:50 > 0:05:53# Oh, I hope in my heart that it's so

0:05:53 > 0:06:00# In spite of how little we know. #

0:06:00 > 0:06:02APPLAUSE

0:06:06 > 0:06:08Hey, you made it.

0:06:08 > 0:06:12A big up to all of the survivors.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15Thanks for hanging with me for the whole weekend.

0:06:27 > 0:06:32MUSIC: Jumpin' Jack Flash performed by Ananda Shankar

0:07:06 > 0:07:10# All right now

0:07:10 > 0:07:13# In fact it's a gas

0:07:13 > 0:07:17# Cos it's all right
