An Affair of the Heart (2012) - full transcript

[ CHEERING ]

[ INTRO TO "JESSIE'S GIRL"
BEGINS, FADES ]

Woman: SOME PEOPLE HAVE
AN ADDICTION TO COCAINE.

PEOPLE LIKE ME HAVE AN ADDICTION
TO RICK SPRINGFIELD.

Woman #2: I'VE DRIVEN
15 HOURS FROM MINNESOTA

TO GO SEE RICK SPRINGFIELD.

Woman #3: ALL MY INCOME
GOES TO TRAVELING

TO SEE RICK SPRINGFIELD.

Man: I'VE SEEN RICK DOWN IN
FLORIDA, IN IOWA, IN CLEVELAND.

Woman #4: YOU WOULDN'T DO IT
FOR ANYONE ELSE.

IT'S RICK. HELLO?



Woman #5: PEOPLE ARE LIKE, "YOU
STILL LIKE RICK SPRINGFIELD?

LIKE, YOU'RE 40."

Man #2:
IT'S BEEN A ROCKY ROAD

AS A MALE RICK SPRINGFIELD FAN.

Woman #6:
I WILL LIKE RICK SPRINGFIELD
WHEN I'M IN THE GRAVE.

Woman #7:
IT WOULD BE DEVASTATING

NOT TO BE ABLE TO SEE RICK.

Woman #8:
MY BROTHER, HE'S LIKE, "HE'S
NEVER GONNA BE ANYTHING TO YOU.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO KNOW HIM."

AND I'M LIKE,
"I HAVE TO KNOW HIM."

Woman #9: PEOPLE BETTER NOT
MESS WITH HIM

BECAUSE THEN THEY'RE MESSING
WITH ME.

YOU KNOW?

WOW, DUDE,
THAT'S FUCKIN' AWESOME!



[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

["I'll MAKE YOU HAPPY" PLAYS ]

IT'S BEEN 30 YEARS
SINCE I FIRST WENT ONSTAGE

IN FRONT OF A LOT
OF THESE PEOPLE.

[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]

THERE'S PEOPLE
WHO HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING ME

SINCE THEY WERE 7, 8, 9,
10, 11 YEARS OLD.

[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]

I STARTED HEARING,
"WHY ARE YOU STILL PLAYING?"

AND I REALIZED THAT IT WAS

'CAUSE IT IS MY CONNECTION
TO PEOPLE.

FOR ME, IT'S MORE THE EXCITEMENT

OF BEING AT A PARTY
YOU'RE THROWING

AND EVERYONE WANTS TO BE THERE.

I KISSED HIS ALBUM,
AND THAT WAS IT.

I NEVER IMAGINED I'D EVER GET
A TATTOO IN MY LIFE.

HE DREW IT, AND I KNOW HIS DOG
MEANT A LOT TO HIM, SO...

I ALWAYS SAID
IF I COULD GET HIS AUTOGRAPH

I WOULD TATTOO IT ON MY ARM.

HE RECOGNIZED IT THE OTHER DAY
ON THE BEACH.

HE SAYS, "I DID THAT".'

HE'S SHOOTING!
HE'S GOT A GUN!

"WHO KILLED ROCK 'N' ROLL"?

[ CHEERING ]

I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE HAVING
THAT MUCH LOYALTY TO ANYTHING.

[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]

Woman:
YOU WALK INTO OUR HOUSE,

AND IT LOOKS LIKE
A RICK EMPORIUM.

MY POOR HUSBAND.

Woman #2: MY HUSBAND SAYS
I HAVE MORE PICTURES

OF ME AND RICK IN OUR HOUSE
THAN OF ME AND MY HUSBAND.

Woman #3: I TOLD HIM,
BEFORE WE GOT MARRIED,

"I LIKE RICK SPRINGFIELD.
YOU CAN TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT."

AND HE TOOK IT.

MY HUSBAND SAYS
IF IT MAKES ME HAPPY,

THEN IT MAKES THE MARRIAGE
AND HIMSELF HAPPY.

Man:
WE MET RICK BACKSTAGE.

NEEDLESS TO SAY,

THE REST OF THE EVENING
WENT VERY WELL FOR ME.

♪ IF YOU DON'T THINK
I'M YOUR MAN ♪

HE REALLY MAKES HIMSELF
AVAILABLE TO HIS FANS.

I THINK IT'S PHENOMENAL.

SECURITY'S, LIKE,
TRYING TO HOLD YOU BACK.

HE'S JUST LIKE,
"NO, WAIT A MINUTE."

♪ LIKE ME, ME, ME ♪

WHO THE FUCK
IS RICK SPRINGFIELD?

♪ I'll MAKE YOU HAPPY,
JUST LIKE YOUR MAMA WANTS ♪

♪ I'll MAKE YOU HAPPY,
JUST LIKE YOUR DADDY SAYS ♪

IT GOES BEYOND THE CONCERTS.

EVERY FAN KNOWS EVERYONE.
IT'S HYSTERICAL.

Woman: WE ACTUALLY BECOME
LIFELONG FRIENDS.

IT REALLY IS LIKE A BIG FAMILY.

YOU MEET PEOPLE ALL OVER
THE WORLD AT THESE SHOWS,

AND YOU MAKE YOUR FAMILY GROW
A LITTLE BIT BIGGER.

Rick: MY ONLY WAY TO
CONNECT WITH PEOPLE TRULY

IS THROUGH PERFORMING.

THOSE FANS WANT THAT.
THEY WANT TO SEE YOUR HEART.

YEAH.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN.

NO, NOT BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN.
IT'S RICK SPRINGFIELD.

RICK SPRINGFIELD, YEAH.

♪ I WISH THAT I HAD
JESSIE'S GIRL ♪

I THINK THAT RICK... LOOK,
HE HIT IT WITH "JESSIE'S GIRL,"

AND HE WAS A "CUTIE-BOY,"

AND HE WAS ON A SOAP,
AND... I'M IN THE MEDIA,

YOU KNOW,
IT'S LIKE WE NEED CLIFFS NOTES.

AND SO THE QUICK ASSESSMENT
IS THAT...

HE'S A POP STAR
AND HE'S LIGHTWEIGHT.

AND THE FACT IS THAT HE,
YOU KNOW, EVEN BACK THEN,

HE WAS A LOT HEAVIER
THAN PEOPLE REALIZED, YEAH.

Feldman: HE GOT PIGEONHOLED.
WE BOTH DID.

AND I CAN'T SAY
THAT I DON'T FEEL HIS PAIN.

BECAUSE I CERTAINLY COMMISERATE
WITH THE BURDENS

THAT HE'S HAD TO UNDERGO.

Blair:
IT'S TERRIFIC THAT HE'S HAD THIS
INCREDIBLE RUN AND OPPORTUNITY.

MAYBE HE DIDN'T GET
THE RECOGNITION HE WANTED

FOR HIM ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL,

BUT HE HAS IT FROM THE HEART
OF THE WORLD.

I THINK THIS IS HIS MOST
PROLIFIC PERIOD EVER.

I THINK "VENUS IN OVERDRIVE,"
WHICH IS, I DON'T KNOW,

A COUPLE OF FEW YEARS OLD
BY NOW -

PROBABLY HIS BEST RECORD EVER.

WELL, THE BAND PLAYS...
I DON'T KNOW...

LIKE 70 TO 100 SHOWS EVERY YEAR,
ALL OVER THE WORLD,

AND, UM, THERE'S TWO BIG EVENTS

THAT THE REALLY DIE-HARD FANS
TRY TO GET TO EVERY YEAR.

ONE OF THEM IS A WEEK LONG CRUISE
TO THE CARIBBEAN...

THAT HAPPENS IN NOVEMBER...

AND THE OTHER ONE IS FOUR
STRAIGHT NIGHTS IN MILWAUKEE.

AND THIS YEAR, EVERY NIGHT
IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SHOW,

WHICH IS A LOT OF WORK FOR ME,
BUT IT'S REALLY WORTH IT.

HOO-YAH!
HOO-YAH!
HOO-YAH!
HOO-YAH!

["LOVE SOMEBODY" PLAYS ]

WELL, THERE'S SOMETHING THERE
ABOUT MUSIC

THAT IS INCREDIBLY DEEP,

AND WE'VE BEEN DOING IT
EVER SINCE WE COULD,

YOU KNOW, LIFT UP A STICK
AND HIT SOMETHING.

SO IT'S VERY POWERFUL,

AND I THINK BECAUSE THE WORLD
IS GETTING SCARIER AND SCARIER,

AND PEOPLE ARE FEELING
MORE AND MORE UNSAFE,

AND THEY WANT TO GO BACK
TO A TIME...

OR AT LEAST HAVE THAT
IN A LITTLE BOX

THAT THEY CAN LOOK, YOU KNOW,

LIKE A PICTURE
THAT CALMS THEM DOWN,

AND MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD AND SAFE
AND STRONG AND TRUE AGAIN.

AND THAT'S WHERE I THINK
THE CONNECTION IS, ULTIMATELY.

Sue: WE ONLY MET
LIKE THREE YEARS AGO,

BUT WE FEEL LIKE WE'VE KNOWN
EACH OTHER FOREVER.

WE LIVE LIKE THREE MINUTES
FROM EACH OTHER.

BUT WE ONLY KNOW EACH OTHER
BECAUSE OF RICK.

WE'RE MARRIED
WITH CHILDREN.

OUR FAMILIES STAY TOGETHER,
WE HAVE PLAY DATES,

THE KIDS TOGETHER,
OUR HUSBANDS HIT IT OFF.

OUR HUSBANDS
LIKE EACH OTHER.

YEAH, SO,
WE DO THE WHOLE MOMMY THING,

BUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE
WE NEED A RICK FIX.

WE'RE GONNA

OH, YES, MOTHER,
I SHALL MISS YOU SO!

JoAnn: MY HUSBAND SAID,
"MY TREAT. GO HAVE FUN."

Sue: AND SHE TOLD MY HUSBAND
I HAD TO COME WITH HER.

I INSISTED.

MAKE SURE THEY TAKE SHOWERS
EVERY NIGHT.

SHOWERS EVERY NIGHT.
CHECK.
AND VITAMINS.

WE'RE MISSING MOTHER'S DAY,
BUT WE'LL BE BACK.

THEY GET IT.
IT'S A PART OF THEIR LIVES,

SO I THINK
THEY ACCEPT IT.

Mike:
PUT IT TO YOU THIS WAY...

HE CAN DO WHATEVER HE WANTS
WITH JESSIE'S GIRL,

BUT KEEP YOUR DAMN HANDS
OFF MY WIFE.

I'VE BEEN WITH MY HUSBAND
SINCE I WAS 16,

AND HE KNEW THEN
THAT IT WAS RICK

AND I WASN'T
GONNA GIVE IT UP,

SO HE'S LEARNED
TO DEAL WITH IT.

HANG ON.
HANG ON, HANG ON.

DON'T DO IT!

PROPHYLAXIS
IS THE BEST POLICY.

HERE YOU ARE.

WE DON'T NEED THESE!

BYE, MOMMY!

YEAH, AND I MET MY HUSBAND
WHEN I WAS 15.

THE INTENSITY KIND OF GREW.

I DON'T THINK HE REALIZED
TO THE EXTENT,

BUT AS TIME WENT ON
IT KIND OF GREW.

Sue: I THINK HE THOUGHT
IT WOULD PASS.

Both: ♪ WHY CAN'T I FIND A WOMAN
LIKE THAT? ♪

IT WASN’T A PASSING PHASE.

♪ DON'T YOU THINK YOUR FRIENDS
ARE TALKING, ALYSON? ♪

[ ELEVATOR MUZAK PLAYS ]

[ CLEARS THROAT]

PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY,

"DON'T YOU GET SICK
OF SEEING HIM OVER AND OVER?"

AND HONESTLY,
I COULD SEE HIM EVERY NIGHT

AND STILL BE EXCITED.

I'M GONNA SURPRISE
A COUPLE OF PEOPLE.

BREAK IN AND SEE WHAT
THEY'VE GOT IN THEIR SUITCASES,

SEE WHAT THEY BRING WITH THEM.

SHE'S A NEW ADDITION TO OUR
FAMILY SINCE THE LAST CRUISE.

PEOPLE WERE ASKING US,
"WHO IS THE BOBBLE-HEAD?"

WE EXPLAINED THAT THE REAL SUE
COULD NOT MAKE IT

SO WE BROUGHT BOBBLE-HEAD
WITH US.

SEX TOYS, WHATEVER.
FOOD, UNDERWEAR.

AND WE EVEN HAVE A PICTURE
OF HER WITH RICK,

AND RICK SIGNED HER,

WHICH WAS REALLY COOL.

THEY ENDED UP
CARRYING HER EVERYWHERE.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

COME ON IN, RICK.
IT'S OKAY.

[ LAUGHING ]

OH, IT'S RI...

OH, MY GOD!

OH, MY GOD.
RICK IS IN OUR ROOM.

WE HAVE REACHED OUR GOAL!
YEAH, BABY!

WELL, LET'S JUST JUMP
ON THE BED.

AND GO!

OH, MY GOD!

WOULD YOU LIKE ME
TO TURN DOWN YOUR BED?

I COULD TURN YOUR BED DOWN
FOR YOU.

THAT WOULD BE LOVELY.
JUMP IN.

[ LAUGHS ]

SEE YOU GUYS TONIGHT.

OH, WE WILL BE THERE.

BYE!

OH, MY GOD, I SAID WHEN
SOMEONE KNOCKED, "IT'S RICK,"

AND IT WAS HIM!

I SAID, "RICK, COME IN."

WE HAD MET ONLINE.

ONE OF THE MUSIC GROUPS
THAT WE WERE BOTH INTERESTED IN,

HE HAD LEFT A COMMENT.

AND I WAS SCROLLING DOWN
AND LIKE, "WHOA, GO BACK."

[ LAUGHS ]

IT WAS JUST SO ADORABLE
THAT I WANTED TO KNOW MORE,

AND I MADE SURE
THAT HE WAS SINGLE

AND DIDN'T LIVE TOO FAR
[LAUGHS]

JUST IN CASE.

I WOULD KEEP GETTING MAIL
EVERY DAY FROM PEOPLE,

AND THERE WAS
A "JILLY" POPS UP.

[ LAUGHS ]

AND I'M LIKE,
"THAT ONE LOOKS FAKE.

SHE'S TOO BEAUTIFUL."

I HAD TO CHECK HER PROFILE
RIGHT AWAY

TO MAKE SURE
THAT SHE WAS SINGLE

AND IF SHE LIKED
RICK SPRINGFIELD.

SO I'M LIKE, "IF THIS GIRL
IS INTERESTED IN ME,

"IF RICK'S NOT IN HER LIST

I DON'T KNOW
IF I'M GONNA REPLY OR NOT."

[ LAUGHS ]

IT WAS.

PHEW!

SHE CALLED.
SHE HAD TO CALL ME FIRST.

AND WE ENDED UP TALKING
FOR THREE HOURS.

FINALLY,
A MONTH LATER, WE MET.

WE MET AT A CONCERT
OUT IN CHICAGO.

AT FIRST SIGHT.

Laurie: I'VE HAD A LOT
OF BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE,

AND RICK SPRINGFIELD

IS DEFINITELY ONE OF
THE BIGGER ONES.

IT'S A REALLY SPECIAL CONNECTION
THAT I HAVE WITH HIM

THAT I’LL ALWAYS HAVE.

I WAS BORN
WITH CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS...

FOUR SEPARATE ONES...

ANY ONE OF WHICH
SHOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL.

I'VE HAD THREE
OPEN-HEART SURGERIES,

AND OF COURSE I DON'T
REMEMBER ANYTHING

IN MY FIRST TWO SURGERIES.

I WAS WAY TOO YOUNG FOR THAT.

THAT WAS HARDER ON MY MOM
THAN IT WAS ON ME.

I WAS IN FEAR EVERY MORNING
WHEN I'D GO INTO HER ROOM,

PRAYING THAT LAURIE WOULD STILL
BE ALIVE IN HER CRIB.

Laurie: WHEN I THINK OF
,
LIKE, MY EARLY CHILDHOOD,

YOU KNOW,
IT WAS JUST LIKE A SENSE

THAT I ALWAYS KNEW
SOMETHING WAS DIFFERENT.

I DIDN'T REALLY EVER FEEL
SOMETHING WAS WRONG.

I JUST KNEW
SOMETHING WAS DIFFERENT.

BY SEVENTH GRADE, YOU KNOW,
MY PARENTS WERE REALLY STARTING

TO TALK TO THE DOCTORS AND SAY,

"WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHAT CAN WE DO FOR HER?

IS THERE ANYTHING
THAT WE CAN DO FOR HER?"

HE SAID THEY'RE TRYING
SOME NEW TYPES OF PROCEDURES

AT THE MAYO CLINIC.

Laurie: THE TURNING POINT
IS MARCH OF '81.

I REMEMBER VERY DISTINCTLY
HEARING THE SURGEON SAY,

"IF YOU MAKE IT
OFF THE TABLE,

YOU'LL BE ROLLERSKATING
IN EIGHT WEEKS."

HE WAS OFFERING A MIRACLE
ON A SILVER PLATTER,

AND I TOOK IT.

[Voice breaking ] I WAS SCARED
.
I WAS REALLY SCARED.

HOW MANY TIMES I PLAYED IT,

AND THEN FINALLY, MY DAD'S LIKE,
"HERE'S THE EARPHONES.

CAN YOU USE... "YOU KNOW?

SO I AGREED TO DO IT,
AND I HAD THE SURGERY.

I WAS ON THE TABLE FOR 14 HOURS.

AND INSTEAD OF THE QUICK
RECOVERY I WAS PROMISED,

I SPENT 18 MONTHS IN BED,
RECOVERING.

I COULDN'T GO TO SCHOOL.

I MISSED MY WHOLE
EIGHTH-GRADE YEAR,

AND I JUST PLAYED HIS MUSIC
ALL DAY LONG.

IT COMFORTED ME.

HE WAS SINGING ABOUT FEELINGS
THAT I WAS TOO FRAGILE TO FEEL,

AND HE WAS VULNERABLE,
AND HE WAS A FRIEND.

AND HE WAS THERE FOR MY...

THE MOST PAINFUL PART
OF MY LIFE.

KNOWING SHE THOUGHT
SHE WAS ONLY GONNA HAVE

ABOUT A MINUTE OR TWO WITH HIM,

SHE, BEING THE WRITER
THAT SHE WAS,

SHE SPENT TWO WEEKS REVISING AND
OVER-DRAFTING AND RETHINKING IT.

ABOUT FOR TWO WEEKS...

"HOW AM I GONNA TELL HIM
IN SUCH A SHORT TIME?"

Laurie: THERE WERE
18 FANS THERE THAT DAY,

AND I THINK THERE WAS
SOMETHING IN THE ROOM,

AND THE OTHER FANS KNEW,

WHATEVER LAURIE WAS TALKING
ABOUT WAS IMPORTANT,

AND THEY LITERALLY
GAVE ME MY SPACE.

"DEAR RICK, ALTHOUGH
I'VE MET YOU BRIEFLY BEFORE,

"I WAS TOO OVERCOME WITH EMOTION

AND I WAS TERRIFIED.

THERE WERE NO GUARANTEES
I'D MAKE IT THROUGH."

AT THE PHOTOS,

YOU CAN SEE THE PROGRESSION
OF THE EMOTION ON RICK'S FACE.

AS I GET INTO THE STORY,
HE'S STANDING CLOSER,

AND THEN HE'S GOT HIS ARM
AROUND ME,

AND THEN I'VE GOT MY HEAD
ON HIS CHEST,

AND THEN I'M CRYING,
AND THEN HE'S CRYING,

AND THEN WE'RE BOTH CRYING.

"IN BOTH THE HARD TIMES

"I'VE ALWAYS COME BACK

THAT'S ALL I NEEDED WAS FOR HIM
TO HEAR ME SAY, "THANKS."

Rick:
IT WAS REALLY GENUINE.

I REALLY GOT THAT
FROM THE SHORT MEETING.

I THINK IT WAS LIKE
4:00 IN THE MORNING

WHEN I FINALLY FELL ASLEEP
'CAUSE I WAS SO EXCITED,

AND I WOKE UP AND I TURNED OVER
AND I LOOKED AT MY HUSBAND,

AND HE SAID, "HOW ARE YOU?"

AND I SAID, "IT'S GONE."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'IT'S GONE?"'

THE FIRST THING I'M THINKING
IS, LIKE, HER STUFF

OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT...
SHE SAYS, "NO."

I SAID, "MY ANGER."

I WOKE UP AND I PHYSICALLY FELT

A LIGHTNESS IN MY BODY,

LIKE I HAD LEFT MY ANGER
AT THE SOUND CHECK.

THAT I'D BEEN MISSING,

AND SHE WAS VERY WARM
AND A REAL NURTURER.

Davidson: HE GOT TO KNOW
AND LOVE MY MOM SO MUCH

THAT SHE ACTUALLY BECAME
HIS AMERICAN MOM.

SHE WAS A GREAT LADY.

[ CLEARS THROAT]

SHE DIED ON MOTHER'S DAY, 2005.

AND HER SERVICE
WAS THAT... THAT DAY.

AND I KNEW IF I GOT
ON THIS PLANE IN TUCSON

I'D MAKE IT BACK TO THE SERVICE
JUST IN TIME.

IF I WENT FROM THE AIRPORT
TO THE... I'D JUST MAKE IT.

AND THEY CANCELED THE FLIGHT.

AND OUT OF MY MOUTH,
WITH NO FORETHOUGHT WHATSOEVER,

I JUST SAID, "RICK,
YOU CAN HAVE OUR TICKETS."

AND I SAID,
"NO, NO, I CAN'T DO THAT."

IT'S MY INITIAL REACTION WHEN
I'M GIVEN THINGS IS TO SAY NO.

I'M NOT GOOD WITH GIFTS OR
COMPLIMENTS OR THINGS LIKE THAT,

SO I SAID NO.

I MANAGED TO CONVINCE THEM

TO LET ME SWITCH OUR SEATS
FOR HIS.

SO I WENT BACK TO RICK,

AND I HESITATED 'CAUSE
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE A PEST,

I DIDN'T WANT TO BOTHER HIM.

BUT I FINALLY GOT HIS ATTENTION,

AND I SAID, "RICK,
THEY SAID IT WAS OKAY.

YOU CAN HAVE OUR TICKETS."

AND HE STARTED TO CRY.

THAT WAS AN AMAZING,
ABOVE-THE-NORM KIND OF GIFT,

AND... I'll NEVER FORGET
STUFF LIKE THAT.

AND SO SHE SWITCHED RICK'S
TICKET AND MY HUSBAND'S TICKET,

AND THEN SHE ASKED RICK,

"WELL, WHO'S THE OTHER PERSON
THAT'S FLYING?"

AND HE SAID, UM, "NO, WE'RE
ONLY EXCHANGING ONE TICKET.

LAURIE'S FLYING HOME WITH ME."

I SHOOK HIS HAND AND I SAID,

"I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH THAT."

IT WAS ACTUALLY A VERY SWEET
GESTURE ON HIS PART,

TO, YOU KNOW, WISH HER
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY AND SAID,

"GO FLY," YOU KNOW.

AND SO I TURNED TO MY HUSBAND,
AND I SAID, "I LOVE YOU,"

AND I GOT ON THE PLANE
WITH RICK SPRINGFIELD.

AND I SAT
NEXT TO RICK SPRINGFIELD

FOR AN HOUR AND TEN MINUTES.

[ SNIFFLES ]

I WAS VERY THANKFUL,

'CAUSE I GOT OFF THE PLANE
AND JUMPED IN A CAR

AND MADE IT JUST AS
THE SERVICE WAS STARTING.

SO IT WAS DEFINITELY
MEANT TO BE, YOU KNOW,

AND I WAS BEING...

I THINK CORRINE WAS DOING
A LITTLE SHUFFLING, TOO,

BEHIND THE SCENES,
AS WELL AS LAURIE WAS.

HE GAVE ME A HUG AND HE SAID,

"HOW CAN I EVER
THANK YOU ENOUGH?"

HOW CAN HE THANK ME?

[ SNIFFLES ]

AND SO, FOR THE LAST
FIVE YEARS THIS MONTH,

HE HAS CALLED ME HIS "AIRPLANE
GIRL" EVERY TIME HE SEES ME.

I WEAR A PIN
WHEN I GO TO CONCERTS,

AND WE HAVE THIS AMAZING,
SPECIAL BOND.

[Voice breaking ]
HE WAS THERE FOR ME IN MY LIFE

WHEN I NEEDED A FRIEND.

AND I WAS THERE FOR HIM
AT THE AIRPORT

WHEN HE NEEDED A FRIEND.

THAT LOOKS REALLY GOOD.

YEAH.

Mike: YEAH I'VE HEARD
,
SO MUCH ABOUT HIM,

SO MANY CHARITABLE THINGS
THAT HE'S DONE,

SO MANY SWEET THINGS,

AND, YOU KNOW, I HAVE A FEELING
THAT A LOT OF IT IS,

UM, YOU KNOW,
BUILT UP FROM THIS,

YOU KNOW, FEMALE FAN BASE THAT
IDOLIZED HIM FROM A YOUNG AGE,

AND THEY ONLY SEE THE GOOD,
AND I'M MORE OF THE SKEPTIC,

AND I KNOW THAT
HE'S A ROCK 'N' ROLL STAR,

SO I TAKE EVERYTHING
WITH A GRAIN OF SALT

WHEN I HEAR THIS STUFF
ABOUT HIM.

THAT'S WHY I'D KIND OF LIKE
TO MEET HIM AND SIZE HIM UP,

GET A REAL FEEL
FOR WHAT'S GOING ON THERE.

IS THIS GUY REALLY ALTRUISTIC
AS HE SEEMS TO BE,

OR IS HE A SCUMBAG ROCK STAR

JUST PUTTING ON A FACE?

[THUNDER CRASHES ]

Tom: IT IS A BIT OF A STRAIN
ON A RELATIONSHIP.

IT'S 24-7, PRACTICALLY.

I MEAN, SHE WAKES UP,

AND IT'S RICK-RICK-RICK
UNTIL SHE GOES TO BED.

BUT I THINK NOW
AT THIS POINT IN HER LIFE,

FINDING THESE FRIENDS TO GO
THROUGH THAT JOURNEY TOGETHER,

ESPECIALLY SUE, TO HOLD HER HAND
THROUGH IT IS AMAZING.

NO, I GET THE CAMARADERIE.

I GET THAT IT'S AWAY
FROM THE CHILDREN

AND FROM THE FAMILY

AND JUST A LITTLE
VACATION TIME.

THE ISSUE ISN'T JUST

WHO'S GOING TO WATCH THE KIDS
DURING THE DAY?

IT'S WHEN I'M ON CALL,

AND I'M ASLEEP
WITH THREE CHILDREN

AND I GET CALLED OUT,

IS THERE SOMEBODY HERE TO WATCH
THESE THREE LITTLE ONES?

IT IS DIFFICULT, IN A SENSE,

THAT I HAVE TO BECOME
THAT MR. MOM

AND STEP INTO THAT ROLE.

I DON'T THINK THE CHILDREN MIND
ALL THAT MUCH.

AS LONG AS THEY'RE
WITH MOMMY OR DADDY,

THEY'RE FINE WITH IT.

BUT LATELY THE KIDS BASICALLY
GET THAT SHE'S AWAY A LOT

BECAUSE OF HIM.

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY SAY THIS
ALL THE TIME,

BUT THEY'LL JUST SAY,

"DADDY, I HATE RICK.
DO YOU HATE RICK, TOO?"

I'll SAY "YES".'

[ CHUCKLES ]

Tom:
I ENJOY SEEING HER HAPPY.

I WISH I HAD SOMETHING

THAT COULD BRING ME
THAT KIND OF LEVEL OF JOY,

UNITE ME WITH FRIENDS,
UH, FROM ALL OVER.

YOU KNOW, I WOULD DO ANYTHING
TO BRING HER JOY.

AND AS HER HUSBAND,

THAT'S SOMETHING I LIKE TO DO,
IS MAKE HER HAPPY.

SO I'M GONNA SIZE
THIS GUY UP TODAY.

I THINK WE'RE THROUGH
THE HEAVY STUFF RIGHT NOW,

BUT I'M NOT SURE.

YEAH, I THINK I'VE GOT HER
PRETTY WELL FOOLED.

SHE THINKS I'M AT WORK
RIGHT NOW.

WELL, THAT'S GOOD.
GOOD WAY OUT THERE.

I MEAN, HONESTLY,
I DON'T KNOW I'M GONNA REACT.

I DON'T KNOW
IF I'M GONNA LIKE HIM.

I DON'T KNOW
IF I'M GONNA BE A WISE ASS.

I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GONNA BE
PHYSICAL WITH HIM.

LOOK AT MIKE!
LOOK OUT, RICK.

LET'S SEE HOW MUCH
THIS BOY WEIGHS.

I AM SO NOT HAPPY.

WHAT WAS THAT?

I'M MISERABLE!

I CAN SEE HIM IN THERE.
HE'S MOVING.

YEAH, HE'S IN THERE!
I CAN SEE HIM!

OOH!

HOW YOU DOIN'?

NICE TO MEET YOU.
WHO'S THE SINGER? THE BAND.

THAT'S ME.

DUDE, THAT'S REALLY COOL.

I HEARD YOUR...
"HEY, MAN"?

DO YOU PLAY THE SOLO
ON THAT, TOO?

YEAH.
REALLY?

THAT'S MY PRODUCTION.
ALL RIGHT!

WE'RE YOUR
FINANCIAL BACKERS, THOUGH.

YOU GET TO MEET SOME
OF THE SUPPORT TEAM HERE.

YEAH,
THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

YOU'RE NOT AS SCRAWNY
AS EVERYBODY SAYS.

WHAT'S THIS BUSINESS ABOUT?

I KNOW. WHAT IS IT? PEOPLE KEEP
SAYING, "YOU GOTTA EAT". '

DUDE, YOU'RE ON MY COMPUTER
SCREEN SAVER EVERY DAY.

EVERY NIGHT I GOTTA LOOK
AT YOUR SWEATY ASS UP THERE,

NEXT TO PICTURES
OF MY BABIES.

[ CHUCKLES ] SORRY.

I'M SURPRISED YOU DON'T HAVE
A RESTRAINING ORDER

ON MY WIFE YET.

NO, THEY'RE A COUPLE
OF THE GOOD ONES.

THEY ENJOY THEMSELVES
AND HAVE A BLAST.

YOU KNOW, I THINK FOR THEM
IT'S A LOT OF CONTACT

OF GOING BACK TO WHEN
THEY WERE KIDS, YOU KNOW,

WHEN WE FIRST HOOKED UP,
YOU KNOW.

THAT'S FUNNY, I MEAN,
I'VE NEVER ACTUALLY TALKED

TO HUSBANDS BY THEMSELVES.

USUALLY THEY'RE WITH,
YOU KNOW, THEIR WIVES.

SO IT'S KIND OF A UNIQUE
EXPERIENCE FOR ME, TOO.

I HOPE
WE'RE NOT GETTING...

[ INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT
OVER LOUDSPEAKER ]

INCLEMENT WEATHER IS

APPROACHING
THE FESTIVAL GROUNDS.

BAD WEATHER?
YEAH, "INCLEMENT."

DOES THAT MEAN TORNADO?

I DON'T KNOW, IS IT A EUPHEMISM
FOR TORNADO?

[THUNDER CRASHES ]

THE WORD IS, THEY'RE GONNA
PLAY FOR HALF AN HOUR

STARTING AT 4:00,

BUT THEN THEY'VE GOTTA BE
BANG OUT OF HERE AT 4:30

'CAUSE THEY'VE GOT A PLANE
TO CATCH, UNFORTUNATELY,

SO WE'LL JUST GET
A VERY SPECIAL HALF HOUR.

[ Laughing ] WE'LL HAVE TO SEE
WHAT SONGS THEY PICK

FOR ONLY A HALF-HOUR SET...
I'M NOT SURE.

WE'LL STAND OUT IN THE RAIN
FOR HIM.

RISK A TORNADO?
YES, DEFINITELY.

[ GUITAR TUNING ]

ARE YOU READY?
MISTER SPRINGFIELD!

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

SORRY ABOUT THIS.

AFTER THE SHOW, RICK SAID,

"EVERYBODY,
LET'S GO INTO THE WATER."

HE IS SKINNY,
AND HE HAS LONG HAIR,

AND HE'S HANDSOME,

AND HE OPENS HIS ARMS
TO RECEIVE HIS FANS,

AND THESE WOMEN
CROWD AROUND HIM,

AND THAT MADE ME
VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.

THIS WAS A LOT MORE

THAN JUST SEEING
YOUR FAVORITE POP MUSICIAN.

THIS WAS SOMEONE WHO IS FILLING
A NEED FOR THESE PEOPLE.

I GUESS I'D HAVE TO TALK
TO MORE OF THE FANS

TO FIGURE OUT WHY
THEY ARE FOLLOWING HIM.

I JUST DON'T
UNDERSTAND IT.

THERE MUST BE SOMETHING.

I CAN'T IMAGINE MY LIFE
WITHOUT HIM IN IT.

I MEAN, I CAN'T.

I'VE BEEN LUCKY
IN THE FACT

THAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO RUN
INTO HIM A LOT

AND HAVE PERSONAL INTERACTION
WITH HIM QUITE A BIT,

WHICH IS NOT SOMETHING THAT
YOU GET FROM AN AVERAGE STAR.

IT SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE
A DEPENDENCY ON THIS GUY.

LIKE...
AND THESE PEOPLE THAT...

IT'S NOT A DEPENDENCY.

HE FEELS THE SAME STUFF WE FEEL.
HE'S JUST A GUY.

I DON'T LOOK AT HIM

I'M SOMEBODY.

IT GOES REALLY DEEP.

PASSIONATE ABOUT IT.

THEY WILL TURN MORE
TOWARD THEIR FAITH OR GOD.

AND HIS INSPIRATION

IT'S A BIT ODD.

TO GET THROUGH.

ABOUT EVERYTHING IN THE BOOK,

BUT DID YOU KNOW
ABOUT HIS SUICIDE ATTEMPT?

JoAnn:
WE ACTUALLY DID, YEAH.

I MEAN, WE KNEW
ABOUT HIS INFIDELITY,

HIS DEPRESSION,
UM, THE SUICIDE ATTEMPT.

I DIDN’T ACTUALLY...
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU DID...

BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THE TIMING
OF IT.

I DIDN'T REALIZE
HE WAS THAT YOUNG.

AND WHAT HAPPENED?
WHAT DID HE DO AT 17?

HE TRIED TO HANG HIMSELF.

HE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE
A THOUGHT PROCESS.

HE JUST RAN INTO HIS SHED,
STOOD UP ON A CHAIR,

TIED A KNOT,
PUT IT AROUND HIS NECK,

THREW IT OVER,

AND JUST KICKED THE CHAIR OUT
FROM UNDERNEATH HIM.

I WAS FULL-ON COMMITTED.

IT WASN'T LIKE TAKING FIVE
SLEEPING PILLS INSTEAD OF 20

OR CUTTING A LITTLE BIT
OF YOUR WRIST.

I WAS FULL INTO IT
AND COMMITTED TO IT.

THE KNOT, YOU KNOW, IT UNTIED,
AND HE HIT THE CONCRETE,

AND THAT'S HOW
HE WOKE HIMSELF UP.

AND SOMETHING HAPPENED
THAT WAS UNEXPECTED

AND CHANGED MY LIFE.

THERE IS A CHARACTER
IN THE BOOK

WHOM YOUR REFERENCE NAME
IS "THE DARKNESS"

THAT HAS TRAILED YOU
THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE.

IN FACT, HE'S IN THIS ROOM
WITH US NOW.

I REFER TO HIM IN THE BOOK
AS "THE DARKNESS,"

OR "MISTER D."

I MADE HIM A THIRD PERSON,
YOU KNOW,

AS ANOTHER ENTITY
SO I COULD DEAL WITH IT.

AND HE SAYS SOME
PRETTY DARK STUFF TO ME.

YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE ANYTHING.

IT'S GOT ITS GOOD SIDE
AND ITS BAD SIDE.

IT'S WRITTEN SOME
PRETTY GOOD SONGS, YOU KNOW,

AND IT'S BEEN PART
OF MY DRIVE TO SUCCEED,

BECAUSE I THOUGHT ALL
THAT SUCCESS WOULD HEAL ME,

WOULD BLOW AWAY

I MEAN, THERE'S NO ROOM FOR HIM,

Rev Dennis: I THINK THAT
.
HIM WRITING THE BOOK NOW

IS PROBABLY JUST PERFECT.

AND I DON'T HAVE TO APPROVE
OF HIS LIFE.

THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT HE
DOES THAT I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT,

YOU KNOW, THAT I THINK
ARE SELF-DESTRUCTIVE.

BUT IT'S OKAY,
I CAN ACCEPT THAT.

HE'S HUMAN, TOO.

[Voice breaking ]
I THINK THERE'S A WHOLE LOT

OF PEOPLE OUT THERE
THAT ARE HURT.

I THINK THERE'S A WHOLE LOT
OF PEOPLE WHO RELATE.

IT'S GONNA HEAL US.
IT'S GONNA HEAL HIM, TOO.

MAYBE THAT'S
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING...

HE'S HOPING THAT IT'S GONNA
HELP SOMEBODY ELSE.

I THINK IT'S GONNA HELP HIM.

ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT SHE'S

IT HASN'T BEEN A SMOOTH RIDE,

BUT MARRIAGE
ISN’T A SMOOTH RIDE,

AND THAT'S WHY
THERE'S SO MANY DIVORCES,

IS BECAUSE PEOPLE BAIL

AT THE FIRST REAL SERIOUS,
UH, POTHOLE.

AND WE HAVEN'T.

YOU KNOW, AND UNFORTUNATELY

I'VE DUG MOST OF
THOSE POTHOLES MYSELF.

BUT THERE HAS TO BE FORGIVENESS
IN A RELATIONSHIP.

OTHERWISE IT CAN'T EXIST.

I'VE TESTED HER BEYOND BELIEF
FOR THAT FORGIVENESS.

THERE WASN’T A PLAN "B"
EVER FOR ME.

AND I SAID TO MYSELF WHEN I CAME
OVER HERE FROM AUSTRALIA

WHEN I WAS 21,

I SAID, "I'M EITHER GONNA BE
LYING IN THE GUTTER,

OR I'M GONNA BE DRIVING AROUND
IN A ROLLS-ROYCE."

AND I DIDN'T GIVE MYSELF
ANY OTHER CHOICES.

I WAS COMMITTED TO MUSIC,

AND FORTUNATELY I'VE, YOU KNOW,
BEEN ABLE TO WRESTLE IT

TO THE GROUND
