00:07 Whether or not you know he's Ron Hans, the songwriter, or not,

00:11 he still has this kind of presence where you think he's something.

00:14 [Music]

00:21 I think this film is about Ron's light side and his dark side.

00:26 Avoid coffee, alcohol, and cocaine at all costs.

00:30 Get yourself a six-pack of nurses and you'll be a happy boy.

00:34 I think the light side is Ron and the dark side is that guy that he's got to go out and be

00:39 every time he shows up on a stage or that guy that kind of took over his life.

01:05 and has forsaken a lot in search of that song.

01:20 He carries a load, though he's barely a man.

01:26 Ron, when he refers to the man of a thousand songs, that's his own addict.

01:36 The man of a thousand songs. I think Ron invented this guy and then he kind of came to life.
