Zero Interlude Film
(BC: Ladies, gentlemen, friends, lovers, beasts or fowl, welcome to the show. We are the illuminated, the illustrious, the ill-timed knock. (two snare drum hits) Ah yes, we are the fractured, the schisms, the rift and the rabble, the sleepy clown, the atomized downs, the dreams you stopped dreaming oh so long ago. Yes, all colors mixed and marred make up the black, as do all numbers fix up the zero, zed and null. So let’s go back to your beginnings, as I shall go back to mine. It won’t last, it’ll be quick, but then again, that’s why we’re here. No past, no future, no sun. So let’s blow on fading embers, to boast about kings near, forgotten and buried. Tis the end. Tis the end. Tis the end.)
Zero
> The Everlasting Gaze
Stand Inside Your Love
Iha: Thank you so much, thank you so much for comin’ out. Nashville, the city of country and western, how are you? Don’t worry, we got about...we have two more songs tonight. That’s all we got. I got this cover tune I wanna bust out but uh, thank you so much, uh, this is really great and uh, I’m excited to be here, we’re excited to be here and uh...I had some good food last night, I’ll tell you about it at dinner here in Nashville. Okay, I’m not gonna tell you about that, we’re gonna get to the next song, it’s called Thirty-three.

(Mark McGrath: Well, hello there, neighbors! Are you enjoying the show thus far? Well, good, I am too, even though I’m not real. Now, if I could steal a moment of your time, I’d like to introduce somebody verrry special to you. He’s been a friend and a neighbor to each and every one of you. He’s been the voice you might hear in the stiiill of the night or a night dog straining against the moon. And, in fact, this young man has been with you almost every step along the way on life’s long journey, sighing so ever soft. He’s been a lover, a fighter, but never a cad. A beacon, a searchlight piercing every impenetrable fog. And he’s here, just now, to sing for you, that golden chestnut we like to call Blew Away. So gather round, ‘cause here he is: the one, the only, Mr. Jaaaaames Iha.)

(Mark McGrath: Well, wowie zowie, papa ooh maow maow! What a wang dang and doodle of a show. And, it ain’t over yet. Now I don’t know about you but this next tune is one of my faaaaaaves. Reminds me of drivin' down the old PCH, high out of my mind on ecstasy and I was singing the chorus of the song you’re about to hear so hard and so on high, that one of my front teeth fell right out! Yup, plain out right there in the dashboard. Wow. That decade was just, just so good, wasn’t it? I mean, here you have young wash masters rising up to start a musical and cultural revolution that was soon co-opted by the machine and driven asunder! Gee golly. But thankfully, what we got in return was just so much better. I mean, let’s face it, who doesn’t want perfection in their stars above? ‘Cause perfect people making perfect, sweet music is, well, it’s just, it’s just what a god wants for all of us! Whoo! Red light, stop, it’s raining. The air is cool and the sky is gray and the year? Well, it’s 1979!)

Iha: [tape cuts in] ...that’s what the, that’s what the Uber driver told me, it’s a hot city.
BC: This is our last song, thank you so much for staying to the end...
Iha: Thank you.
BC: ...you guys are awesome. We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you. We mean that sincerely. Before we go, I just wanna say one thing. As a band, as a unit, as a family, we don’t care where you’re from, we don’t care who you love, we don’t care what color you are, we don’t care who you vote for, we don’t care what kind of music you listen to, we appreciate you as you are. That’s all we need, that’s all we need, thank you so much.
