1
00:00:18,252 --> 00:00:20,020
- A-ha!
2
00:00:21,489 --> 00:00:22,890
(Geddy laughs)
3
00:00:25,526 --> 00:00:26,694
(Geddy): I'm Geddy Lee.
4
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,598
Bass player in the band Rush
for almost five decades.
5
00:00:30,664 --> 00:00:32,766
But also, a bird photographer,
6
00:00:32,833 --> 00:00:34,402
wine collector,
7
00:00:34,468 --> 00:00:35,803
baseball aficionado,
8
00:00:35,869 --> 00:00:37,871
you know, a nerd!
9
00:00:39,407 --> 00:00:42,176
Which got me wondering
whether my fellow bass folk
10
00:00:42,243 --> 00:00:44,145
are more than just
the shadowy figures
11
00:00:44,212 --> 00:00:46,914
we see skulking
around the stage.
12
00:00:47,481 --> 00:00:48,916
I wanna know,
13
00:00:48,982 --> 00:00:52,019
"Are Bass Players Human Too?"
14
00:00:56,990 --> 00:00:59,660
("Morning Mood"
by Edvard Grieg plays)
15
00:00:59,727 --> 00:01:02,062
(birds chirping)
16
00:01:03,464 --> 00:01:05,333
(feet tapping)
17
00:01:07,401 --> 00:01:09,503
(Geddy): It's an idyllic
morning in Deep River,
18
00:01:09,570 --> 00:01:12,673
Washington. I'm here to meet
Krist Novoselic,
19
00:01:12,740 --> 00:01:15,709
bass player of the band,
Nirvana.
20
00:01:15,776 --> 00:01:17,277
Perhaps you've heard of him.
21
00:01:17,345 --> 00:01:19,447
The fanboy in me
was feeling excited
22
00:01:19,513 --> 00:01:22,450
to have a chance to spend time
in his world.
23
00:01:22,515 --> 00:01:23,951
Hello!
24
00:01:24,718 --> 00:01:26,987
("Morning Mood" continues)
25
00:01:30,390 --> 00:01:31,459
(Geddy laughs)
26
00:01:31,525 --> 00:01:32,893
Look at you guys.
27
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:35,095
- Hi, Geddy.
- Hi, Krist.
28
00:01:35,163 --> 00:01:36,930
- And this is Darbury.
- Hi, Darbury.
29
00:01:36,997 --> 00:01:38,399
- Hello.
- And welcome to our world.
30
00:01:38,466 --> 00:01:40,000
(Geddy): How gorgeous.
31
00:01:40,067 --> 00:01:41,569
How long have you been here?
32
00:01:41,634 --> 00:01:43,103
(Krist): 30 years.
- Wow.
33
00:01:43,170 --> 00:01:45,005
- 1992.
- Nice.
34
00:01:45,072 --> 00:01:46,807
- The year that punk broke.
35
00:01:46,874 --> 00:01:48,041
(all laugh)
36
00:01:48,108 --> 00:01:51,312
("Aneurysm" by Nirvana plays)
37
00:01:51,378 --> 00:01:55,716
(Geddy): 1992, the year Nirvana
exploded from the underground,
38
00:01:55,783 --> 00:01:57,218
soaring up the charts,
39
00:01:57,285 --> 00:02:01,054
unleashing their punk infused
sound onto the mainstream.
40
00:02:04,358 --> 00:02:06,327
It was a pre-Internet world,
41
00:02:06,394 --> 00:02:09,297
yet they went
as viral as it gets.
42
00:02:09,363 --> 00:02:10,698
- Nirvana!
43
00:02:10,764 --> 00:02:13,201
(crowd cheers)
- Thank you!
44
00:02:13,667 --> 00:02:16,036
(Geddy): Krist was living
in the rural timber town
45
00:02:16,103 --> 00:02:19,240
of Aberdeen, Washington,
where he met Kurt Cobain.
46
00:02:19,307 --> 00:02:21,442
- I couldn't find anyone
in my hometown to play with,
47
00:02:21,509 --> 00:02:22,876
until I met Krist.
48
00:02:22,943 --> 00:02:26,614
(Geddy): With mighty Dave Grohl
on board, the stage was set.
49
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,982
* Come on over, do the twist
50
00:02:30,050 --> 00:02:31,985
* Aha *
51
00:02:32,052 --> 00:02:34,454
Having played
in a power trio myself,
52
00:02:34,522 --> 00:02:37,291
I know that the role
of each instrument is critical.
53
00:02:37,358 --> 00:02:39,760
The driving bass lines
of Krist Novoselic
54
00:02:39,827 --> 00:02:41,462
held it all together.
55
00:02:41,529 --> 00:02:44,465
* Keeps it pumpin'
straight to my heart *
56
00:02:44,531 --> 00:02:47,268
The impact of their sound
was massive.
57
00:02:47,335 --> 00:02:50,070
And like millions of Nirvana
fans around the world,
58
00:02:50,137 --> 00:02:54,275
I was sad when it came
to a tragic end in 1994.
59
00:02:54,341 --> 00:02:57,545
(guitar squeals, crowd cheers)
60
00:02:59,046 --> 00:03:00,614
In post-Nirvana years,
61
00:03:00,681 --> 00:03:03,183
Krist became known
for his political activism.
62
00:03:03,251 --> 00:03:04,752
- I looked around,
there was a lot of things
63
00:03:04,818 --> 00:03:06,654
that I didn't like.
How can I make things better?
64
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,056
(Geddy): His recent musical
adventures include
65
00:03:09,122 --> 00:03:11,158
Giants in the Trees
66
00:03:11,225 --> 00:03:13,227
and 3rd Secret,
featuring members
67
00:03:13,294 --> 00:03:16,764
of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam.
68
00:03:16,829 --> 00:03:18,932
Despite being a giant of a man,
69
00:03:18,999 --> 00:03:20,868
Krist keeps a low profile,
70
00:03:20,934 --> 00:03:23,471
like a typical bass player.
71
00:03:24,372 --> 00:03:26,874
Krist and I have hung out
on the road,
72
00:03:26,940 --> 00:03:29,009
but this was my chance
to see firsthand
73
00:03:29,076 --> 00:03:31,779
how he spends his "normal" time.
74
00:03:35,983 --> 00:03:39,119
(accordion hums)
75
00:03:52,833 --> 00:03:54,335
(Geddy chuckles)
76
00:03:59,906 --> 00:04:02,410
- Yeah!
(clapping)
77
00:04:02,476 --> 00:04:04,378
I know that song.
But is it a hit?
78
00:04:04,445 --> 00:04:07,381
- It's not merely a hit,
it's a masterpiece!
79
00:04:07,448 --> 00:04:08,549
(laughs)
80
00:04:08,616 --> 00:04:10,183
- So, is this your
first instrument?
81
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:12,620
Did you play accordion
before you played bass?
82
00:04:12,686 --> 00:04:16,390
- Yeah, I played accordion as...
very young.
83
00:04:16,457 --> 00:04:18,459
But then, I got into like,
rock'n'roll music.
84
00:04:18,526 --> 00:04:20,793
It's hard to play like,
Led Zeppelin riffs on accordion.
85
00:04:20,861 --> 00:04:23,130
Beatles are good on accordion.
There's some good Rolling Stones
86
00:04:23,196 --> 00:04:25,366
are good on accordion.
Rush is, you can play
87
00:04:25,433 --> 00:04:27,234
Rush on accordion, yeah.
I've proved it.
88
00:04:27,301 --> 00:04:29,269
(Geddy laughs)
Yeah, it's a fact.
89
00:04:29,337 --> 00:04:31,605
- Did you go to guitar
and then bass guitar?
90
00:04:31,672 --> 00:04:33,507
How did that happen?
- Yeah, I started guitar,
91
00:04:33,574 --> 00:04:36,644
and then, I met Kurt Cobain
and he had a guitar and an amp,
92
00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:40,548
and then, I just borrowed
this bass amp and a bass,
93
00:04:40,614 --> 00:04:42,149
and started playing bass
and I really got into
94
00:04:42,215 --> 00:04:44,117
playing bass.
- So, your bass playing
95
00:04:44,183 --> 00:04:47,120
had to accommodate, you know,
96
00:04:47,187 --> 00:04:48,956
where he went on the guitar.
97
00:04:49,022 --> 00:04:52,159
- Which was pretty easy.
I mean, those were great riffs.
98
00:04:52,225 --> 00:04:53,927
I had these great riffs
to work with.
99
00:04:53,994 --> 00:04:56,296
The bass player follows
the kick drum.
100
00:04:56,364 --> 00:04:57,998
It's the boss,
that bom, bom, bom, bom.
101
00:04:58,065 --> 00:04:59,667
- Right.
- You stay with that,
102
00:04:59,733 --> 00:05:02,302
and then you have the job
of like, doing the melody,
103
00:05:02,370 --> 00:05:04,905
and filling in spaces.
- Smoothing out the rhythm.
104
00:05:04,972 --> 00:05:07,207
- Smoothing out the rhythm.
(Geddy): And Dave was a drummer
105
00:05:07,274 --> 00:05:09,309
back then.
How did you guys sync?
106
00:05:09,377 --> 00:05:10,811
(Krist): It was like
a duck to water.
107
00:05:10,878 --> 00:05:12,713
- Mm-hmm.
- Then we started having
a lot of fun.
108
00:05:12,780 --> 00:05:14,415
- Yeah, that's good.
- That's important.
109
00:05:14,482 --> 00:05:16,249
We were playing and having
a lot of fun.
110
00:05:16,316 --> 00:05:18,686
And then, we wrote a record,
"Nevermind".
111
00:05:18,752 --> 00:05:19,953
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
112
00:05:20,020 --> 00:05:21,021
- And the rest is history.
113
00:05:21,088 --> 00:05:22,956
- The rest is history, yeah.
114
00:05:23,023 --> 00:05:25,659
(laidback bluegrass music plays)
115
00:05:33,433 --> 00:05:35,002
(Geddy): So, where
are we headed?
116
00:05:35,068 --> 00:05:38,105
- Well, we're gonna
go to the goat-el.
117
00:05:38,171 --> 00:05:41,808
- Goat-el.
- Where the animals live.
118
00:05:41,875 --> 00:05:43,844
- Right on.
(Krist): I don't seek 'em out,
119
00:05:43,911 --> 00:05:45,178
they just come here
120
00:05:45,245 --> 00:05:47,915
and one way or another,
like, people know that...
121
00:05:47,981 --> 00:05:49,883
that I can have space for 'em.
122
00:05:49,950 --> 00:05:51,485
(Geddy): The community
is aware
123
00:05:51,552 --> 00:05:53,921
of your love of animals, so...
- Yeah, yeah.
124
00:05:53,987 --> 00:05:54,988
I've got a couple chickens.
125
00:05:55,055 --> 00:05:57,190
This lady gave me
these chickens.
126
00:05:57,257 --> 00:05:58,792
You wanna see the chickens?
- Hi. Come on.
127
00:05:58,859 --> 00:06:00,060
- Come on in.
- Come on.
128
00:06:00,127 --> 00:06:01,995
- Go inside, Geddy. Go on.
- Hi, hi, hi!
129
00:06:02,062 --> 00:06:03,431
The little white one is amazing.
130
00:06:03,497 --> 00:06:05,165
- Life's rough on roosters.
131
00:06:05,232 --> 00:06:06,434
People are like,
I'm gonna have a chicken
132
00:06:06,500 --> 00:06:08,135
and I'm gonna have eggs.
133
00:06:08,201 --> 00:06:10,638
And then, they have chicks
and it's a rooster,
134
00:06:10,704 --> 00:06:12,573
and nobody wants him.
So, like, okay,
135
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,174
I'll take the rooster.
When I brought him in,
136
00:06:14,241 --> 00:06:15,375
he was so happy.
137
00:06:15,443 --> 00:06:17,310
He's the happiest rooster
in the world.
138
00:06:17,377 --> 00:06:19,112
(Geddy): Fantastic.
139
00:06:19,179 --> 00:06:20,414
(horse neighs)
140
00:06:20,481 --> 00:06:21,982
(Krist): Hey!
(Geddy): Hello.
141
00:06:22,049 --> 00:06:23,250
Is that some kind of greeting?
142
00:06:23,316 --> 00:06:25,152
- That's Sirius.
I went by this house
143
00:06:25,218 --> 00:06:27,354
and he was just in a bad spot.
144
00:06:27,421 --> 00:06:29,857
- Aw, hi.
- I obtained him.
145
00:06:29,923 --> 00:06:32,025
So, he's way better now.
I felt bad for him.
146
00:06:32,092 --> 00:06:35,295
(Geddy): Is that an alpaca?
(Krist): That's a huarizo.
147
00:06:35,362 --> 00:06:38,866
His father is a llama
148
00:06:38,932 --> 00:06:41,268
and his mother is an alpaca.
149
00:06:41,334 --> 00:06:42,570
- Wow.
- It can happen.
150
00:06:42,636 --> 00:06:43,971
(Geddy): From one
unusual-looking
151
00:06:44,037 --> 00:06:45,539
fellow to another, hi.
152
00:06:45,606 --> 00:06:47,675
- So, that's Cicero and Edmonia.
And I was driving down
153
00:06:47,741 --> 00:06:50,544
the road at night, and they're
in the middle of the road.
154
00:06:50,611 --> 00:06:52,513
And I knocked on the door,
and I'm like, "Hey, man."
155
00:06:52,580 --> 00:06:54,582
- Hi.
- "These goats
are gonna get hit."
156
00:06:54,648 --> 00:06:56,584
"You're not taking care of 'em."
157
00:06:56,650 --> 00:06:58,952
He goes,
"You can just have 'em."
158
00:06:59,019 --> 00:07:00,954
Then they followed me home.
I just, they wanted
159
00:07:01,021 --> 00:07:04,257
to get the heck outta there.
See, Edmonia, she's from Mars.
160
00:07:04,324 --> 00:07:07,461
Hey. You're a freak,
madam, freak!
161
00:07:07,528 --> 00:07:09,062
- How can you tell
she's from Mars?
162
00:07:09,129 --> 00:07:11,665
- I've been. I go there.
I go there often.
163
00:07:11,732 --> 00:07:12,966
(Geddy laughs)
164
00:07:13,033 --> 00:07:15,202
(upbeat music)
165
00:07:15,803 --> 00:07:19,272
(Geddy): Well, an accordion
serenade and a close encounter
166
00:07:19,339 --> 00:07:21,241
with a Martian goat,
167
00:07:21,308 --> 00:07:24,377
all of this had me wondering
what lies ahead?
168
00:07:24,444 --> 00:07:26,780
(knocking)
(Krist): Hello?
169
00:07:26,847 --> 00:07:28,215
Darling, it's me.
170
00:07:28,281 --> 00:07:30,984
(Geddy laughs)
Lucy, I'm home!
171
00:07:31,051 --> 00:07:32,419
- Hello, Geddy.
- Hi, hi, hi.
172
00:07:32,486 --> 00:07:34,454
- It's Edmonia.
(Darbury): She can come in.
173
00:07:34,522 --> 00:07:36,490
- No, she can't.
(laughing)
174
00:07:36,557 --> 00:07:39,058
(Geddy): Here we be,
in the studio of Krist's wife,
175
00:07:39,126 --> 00:07:41,995
textile artist,
Darbury Stenderu.
176
00:07:42,062 --> 00:07:43,363
And you've done all these?
177
00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:44,865
- Yes.
- This is all your work?
178
00:07:44,932 --> 00:07:46,266
- Yes.
- Beautiful.
179
00:07:46,332 --> 00:07:47,701
(Darbury): Why, thank you.
180
00:07:47,768 --> 00:07:49,570
(Geddy): It's clear that
a do-it-yourself spirit
181
00:07:49,637 --> 00:07:52,806
is alive and well
at the Novoselic homestead.
182
00:07:52,873 --> 00:07:56,844
Darbury even makes clothing
for herself and for Krist.
183
00:07:56,909 --> 00:07:58,111
So, this is Krist?
184
00:07:58,178 --> 00:07:59,446
- This is Krist.
185
00:07:59,513 --> 00:08:01,782
And then, this is his new vest.
186
00:08:01,849 --> 00:08:03,250
- She made me this coat.
187
00:08:03,316 --> 00:08:05,418
- Really? Wow.
- Yeah, she made this coat.
188
00:08:05,485 --> 00:08:09,122
And then, she made
the, uh, cub overalls. Ta-da.
189
00:08:09,189 --> 00:08:10,290
(Darbury laughs)
190
00:08:10,357 --> 00:08:12,492
She made this skirt.
- Good for you.
191
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,295
Lucky man. I like the hood.
192
00:08:15,362 --> 00:08:16,797
(Darbury laughs)
- Oh, yeah.
193
00:08:20,233 --> 00:08:22,870
- Grunge gothic.
(laughing)
194
00:08:29,109 --> 00:08:31,144
(lilting jazz music plays)
195
00:08:32,946 --> 00:08:34,548
(Geddy): Interior, kitchen,
196
00:08:34,615 --> 00:08:37,650
a bounty of homegrown veggies
sets the scene.
197
00:08:37,717 --> 00:08:42,222
Cut to Krist introducing me
to another DIY project.
198
00:08:42,289 --> 00:08:45,492
- I roasted these tomatoes
that I grew,
199
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,027
and then, we shall can them.
200
00:08:47,094 --> 00:08:48,929
- Okay.
- So, we need
to get to work here.
201
00:08:48,996 --> 00:08:51,031
So, I got you an apron.
202
00:08:51,098 --> 00:08:53,066
- Well, I'm looking fine.
203
00:08:53,133 --> 00:08:55,335
Oh, that's nice. Beauty.
204
00:08:55,402 --> 00:08:58,171
- So, if you wanna
just kinda pack it in there.
205
00:08:58,238 --> 00:09:00,574
God, you're so good.
You're a natural.
206
00:09:00,641 --> 00:09:03,410
(laughs)
- I'm a natural spooner.
207
00:09:03,476 --> 00:09:05,178
- There you go.
- I spoon with my dogs
208
00:09:05,245 --> 00:09:07,014
every night.
- It's a tender story.
209
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,616
- Yes.
- Man and animal.
210
00:09:08,682 --> 00:09:10,150
- Yep.
- Yeah, I've been canning
211
00:09:10,217 --> 00:09:11,885
for a long time,
'cause I grow the garden
212
00:09:11,952 --> 00:09:13,821
so I wanna preserve things.
213
00:09:13,887 --> 00:09:15,055
(tomatoes squelch)
214
00:09:15,122 --> 00:09:17,024
- High drama.
(Krist squelches)
215
00:09:17,090 --> 00:09:18,491
(Krist): So, here's
the brine, sugar.
216
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:22,029
(Geddy): Mm-hmm.
- Salt and vinegar and water.
217
00:09:22,095 --> 00:09:23,864
- Mm-hmm.
- You've got the lid
on tight, right?
218
00:09:23,931 --> 00:09:25,232
And see my special tool
that I got
219
00:09:25,298 --> 00:09:26,867
from my mother-in-law?
- Whoa.
220
00:09:26,934 --> 00:09:28,101
- And then, you pick it up,
221
00:09:28,168 --> 00:09:29,603
and then, you put it
in the water.
222
00:09:29,670 --> 00:09:31,204
- So, what does that do?
223
00:09:31,271 --> 00:09:34,074
- It kills any kind of like,
bacteria or anything.
224
00:09:34,141 --> 00:09:35,876
- Right.
- It sterilizes it.
225
00:09:35,943 --> 00:09:38,879
Canning is a lot like
playing the bass guitar.
226
00:09:38,946 --> 00:09:40,681
- Yes, you see.
- Wanna get your temperature up.
227
00:09:40,748 --> 00:09:44,685
- After you do a fine
bass part, it's in the can!
228
00:09:44,752 --> 00:09:46,887
- It's in the can, that's right.
229
00:09:46,954 --> 00:09:49,222
- And then you take
your cans off.
230
00:09:49,289 --> 00:09:51,124
- What happened
to that take? We canned it.
231
00:09:51,191 --> 00:09:53,761
- Yeah, we use the phrase,
we schmized it.
232
00:09:53,827 --> 00:09:55,528
- We schmized it.
(glass crackles)
233
00:09:55,595 --> 00:09:57,998
Did that...? That's not
making good sounds.
234
00:09:58,065 --> 00:09:59,633
- Something is.
- I hope that didn't...
235
00:09:59,700 --> 00:10:01,935
It broke! Oh, right off the bat.
236
00:10:02,002 --> 00:10:03,937
That happens sometimes.
- No good?
237
00:10:04,004 --> 00:10:05,839
Schmized it.
(laughing)
238
00:10:05,906 --> 00:10:07,975
- I thought I heard it pop.
239
00:10:08,041 --> 00:10:09,476
- Transition.
240
00:10:12,012 --> 00:10:14,014
(turkey gobbles)
241
00:10:16,016 --> 00:10:17,751
(Geddy): Krist wants
to introduce me
242
00:10:17,818 --> 00:10:20,187
to another
of his passion projects.
243
00:10:20,253 --> 00:10:22,455
Much like the animals
he's saved,
244
00:10:22,522 --> 00:10:25,693
this vehicle
is also a rescue.
245
00:10:25,759 --> 00:10:28,161
(engine rumbles)
246
00:10:28,228 --> 00:10:31,231
(deep rock music plays)
247
00:10:35,836 --> 00:10:39,239
(Krist): So, this is a 1957
Volkswagen Panel Van.
248
00:10:39,306 --> 00:10:42,242
This van was in the woods
for 40 years.
249
00:10:42,309 --> 00:10:44,144
There are bullet holes in it.
(Geddy): Oh, wow.
250
00:10:44,211 --> 00:10:45,846
- Yeah. I got it for $1,000.
251
00:10:45,913 --> 00:10:48,716
So, we rescued it.
If you maintain them,
252
00:10:48,782 --> 00:10:50,017
they just keep going.
253
00:10:50,083 --> 00:10:52,119
- Yeah, we travelled around
in one
254
00:10:52,185 --> 00:10:53,954
in the way, way early days,
255
00:10:54,021 --> 00:10:55,689
and we'd get
all our gear in it.
256
00:10:55,756 --> 00:10:57,324
- Yeah.
- And we'd get in it.
257
00:10:58,425 --> 00:11:01,094
(Krist): This is the uh,
covered bridge.
258
00:11:01,161 --> 00:11:02,896
It's the only covered bridge
in Washington State.
259
00:11:02,963 --> 00:11:04,464
(Geddy): Wow.
260
00:11:04,531 --> 00:11:07,034
(van rumbles)
261
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:10,771
Look at that. That is cool.
262
00:11:10,838 --> 00:11:12,205
(Krist): I mow this park.
263
00:11:12,272 --> 00:11:13,907
(Geddy): You do?
- This is for the public.
264
00:11:13,974 --> 00:11:16,043
- So, you take it upon
yourself to mow it?
265
00:11:16,109 --> 00:11:18,145
- Yeah, I do. I mow this park.
266
00:11:23,250 --> 00:11:26,319
(Geddy): Now, I really dig
a history nerd,
267
00:11:26,386 --> 00:11:28,956
and Krist is certifiable.
268
00:11:29,022 --> 00:11:32,592
Case in point,
an impressive restoration.
269
00:11:32,659 --> 00:11:34,361
(Krist): This is the Deep River
Lutheran Church,
270
00:11:34,427 --> 00:11:37,164
a pioneer church,
built in 1899.
271
00:11:37,230 --> 00:11:39,499
I was driving by
and I noticed that their steeple
272
00:11:39,566 --> 00:11:42,135
was looking kinda shabby
and it needed a paint job.
273
00:11:42,202 --> 00:11:44,404
And so, I talked to my brother
and my nephew and I said,
274
00:11:44,471 --> 00:11:46,139
"Why don't we just paint
the church this summer?"
275
00:11:46,206 --> 00:11:48,075
We noticed that the windows
were rotten.
276
00:11:48,141 --> 00:11:50,210
And then, we got into
the bottom of the steeple
277
00:11:50,277 --> 00:11:52,445
and the bottom needed
a lot of work.
278
00:11:52,512 --> 00:11:54,815
And the belfry
and the cupola were gone,
279
00:11:54,882 --> 00:11:56,049
so we rebuilt it.
280
00:11:56,116 --> 00:11:57,617
- Can we go inside?
- Let's go inside,
281
00:11:57,684 --> 00:11:59,887
yeah, check it out. After you.
- Thank you.
282
00:11:59,953 --> 00:12:03,223
(easy bluegrass music plays)
283
00:12:08,661 --> 00:12:10,497
(Krist): It's a construction
site right now.
284
00:12:10,563 --> 00:12:12,833
We're just waiting
on the windows to be done.
285
00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:14,167
It's a log truck.
286
00:12:14,234 --> 00:12:15,402
(truck horn honks)
287
00:12:15,468 --> 00:12:17,771
Toot, toot.
(Geddy laughs)
288
00:12:17,838 --> 00:12:19,773
(music continues)
289
00:12:24,711 --> 00:12:26,679
(Geddy): This is a very
cheerful stove.
290
00:12:26,746 --> 00:12:28,515
(fire crackles)
291
00:12:28,581 --> 00:12:32,619
Having grown up
in a much different
292
00:12:32,685 --> 00:12:36,790
musical vibe in Toronto,
where there was really no scene,
293
00:12:36,857 --> 00:12:40,527
there was very little
interaction between musicians,
294
00:12:40,593 --> 00:12:42,229
I was really impressed
with the Seattle.
295
00:12:42,295 --> 00:12:44,998
The sense of brotherhood
and community
296
00:12:45,065 --> 00:12:47,400
that existed between musicians.
297
00:12:47,467 --> 00:12:51,404
- Nirvana started and we came
out of the punk rock scene
298
00:12:51,471 --> 00:12:54,274
of the 1980s.
American hardcore music,
299
00:12:54,341 --> 00:12:56,176
those were just
young people with like,
300
00:12:56,243 --> 00:12:58,879
shared needs and values
that just found each other.
301
00:12:58,946 --> 00:13:01,915
It wasn't satisfying, what was
in the mainstream media.
302
00:13:01,982 --> 00:13:03,750
It was just way more
interesting what was going on
303
00:13:03,817 --> 00:13:05,886
in the underground.
We would play things like
304
00:13:05,953 --> 00:13:07,520
Elks halls and the Eagles halls,
305
00:13:07,587 --> 00:13:10,590
granges, these community centres
306
00:13:10,657 --> 00:13:13,093
that had stages.
And they'd want, you know,
307
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,494
for people to come together.
308
00:13:14,561 --> 00:13:16,529
We liked the bands
that we were playing with
309
00:13:16,596 --> 00:13:18,731
and liked the people,
and there's how you get
310
00:13:18,798 --> 00:13:20,467
a community there.
311
00:13:21,434 --> 00:13:24,704
We never really expected
to be like,
312
00:13:24,771 --> 00:13:26,173
famous, or popular.
313
00:13:26,239 --> 00:13:29,342
And then, bands were getting
signed in Seattle,
314
00:13:29,409 --> 00:13:31,444
and like, major label.
You know, there's this,
315
00:13:31,511 --> 00:13:33,646
like, they got signed
to a major label.
316
00:13:33,713 --> 00:13:35,448
(Geddy): Right.
- So, then it was our turn
317
00:13:35,515 --> 00:13:37,250
to get signed,
because a major label
318
00:13:37,317 --> 00:13:40,487
started to see like, well,
there's this new movement.
319
00:13:40,553 --> 00:13:43,356
- Those successful musicians
or those people
320
00:13:43,423 --> 00:13:45,292
that were part
of that movement
321
00:13:45,358 --> 00:13:48,295
are still very approachable,
down to earth,
322
00:13:48,361 --> 00:13:50,397
despite enormous success.
323
00:13:50,463 --> 00:13:52,699
I think that
speaks to something.
324
00:13:52,765 --> 00:13:54,767
(birds chirping)
325
00:13:59,539 --> 00:14:03,310
(upbeat rock music plays)
326
00:14:03,376 --> 00:14:04,811
(bleating)
327
00:14:06,379 --> 00:14:08,481
(Geddy): After a quick stop
back at the farm,
328
00:14:08,548 --> 00:14:11,784
we switched to a more
modern mode of transport
329
00:14:11,851 --> 00:14:14,721
as we continue our tour
through the countryside
330
00:14:14,787 --> 00:14:16,823
that Krist calls home.
331
00:14:21,061 --> 00:14:23,931
Krist is a respected member
of his local grange,
332
00:14:23,997 --> 00:14:26,433
a grassroots
political organization
333
00:14:26,499 --> 00:14:29,369
working for the wellbeing
of the community.
334
00:14:29,436 --> 00:14:31,804
Spot the bass player.
335
00:14:31,871 --> 00:14:33,540
And if that wasn't enough,
336
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,643
he's also studying
for an effin' graduate degree.
337
00:14:36,709 --> 00:14:38,578
- It's a Masters
of Legal Studies.
338
00:14:38,645 --> 00:14:40,180
- Okay.
- I'm studying energy
339
00:14:40,247 --> 00:14:42,649
policy right now.
We did ocean law.
340
00:14:42,715 --> 00:14:44,051
We did environmental justice,
341
00:14:44,117 --> 00:14:45,919
which I really
learned a lot about.
342
00:14:45,986 --> 00:14:49,189
- Is that just so you can be
prepared to fight
343
00:14:49,256 --> 00:14:52,059
for the things you believe in
your community and environment?
344
00:14:52,125 --> 00:14:55,162
- It helps doing that.
I've been doing election reform.
345
00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:57,097
I started doing that
in about 1997,
346
00:14:57,164 --> 00:14:59,766
like, ranked-choice voting
and proportional representation.
347
00:14:59,832 --> 00:15:01,734
- These things apply ideas
348
00:15:01,801 --> 00:15:03,536
that could turn into solutions
349
00:15:03,603 --> 00:15:05,138
for some
of the problems we face.
350
00:15:05,205 --> 00:15:06,473
- Absolutely.
351
00:15:08,741 --> 00:15:11,678
(Geddy): Krist's way of living
reminds me of the adage,
352
00:15:11,744 --> 00:15:14,948
"Think globally, act locally."
353
00:15:15,015 --> 00:15:16,916
He keeps an eye
on the big picture.
354
00:15:16,984 --> 00:15:19,286
A bird's-eye view, if you will.
355
00:15:19,352 --> 00:15:23,056
So, I'm not surprised when
he tells me he knows how to fly.
356
00:15:24,024 --> 00:15:26,526
(Krist): You get what's
behind door number 3.
357
00:15:26,593 --> 00:15:27,927
Tell 'em what they've won.
358
00:15:27,995 --> 00:15:29,997
(Geddy): Okay, look at that.
359
00:15:30,063 --> 00:15:33,333
- It's a 1970 Piper Aztec.
We're gonna go flying.
360
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:34,867
(Geddy): When did you
start flying?
361
00:15:34,934 --> 00:15:36,403
(Krist): In 2001.
362
00:15:36,469 --> 00:15:39,506
I started getting my lessons.
I got my certificate.
363
00:15:39,572 --> 00:15:40,940
- Right.
- I just use it a lot.
364
00:15:41,008 --> 00:15:42,209
It's just a great way
to get around.
365
00:15:42,275 --> 00:15:43,943
- Fantastic.
- You're gonna see
366
00:15:44,011 --> 00:15:45,578
I'm a really boring pilot.
367
00:15:45,645 --> 00:15:47,380
We're gonna get up to altitude,
368
00:15:47,447 --> 00:15:49,749
I'm just gonna be like,
"Okay, enjoy the scenery."
369
00:15:49,816 --> 00:15:51,184
- Something you may not
know about me,
370
00:15:51,251 --> 00:15:53,686
but my favourite kind of pilot
is a really boring pilot.
371
00:15:53,753 --> 00:15:54,787
- Oh yeah.
372
00:15:54,854 --> 00:15:57,991
(upbeat music continues)
373
00:16:01,361 --> 00:16:03,130
(chuckling)
374
00:16:04,731 --> 00:16:06,599
Are you ready?
- Haha, I'm ready!
375
00:16:08,168 --> 00:16:10,337
Creaky old man coming in.
376
00:16:11,038 --> 00:16:13,273
- Clear prop!
377
00:16:13,340 --> 00:16:16,209
(engine rumbles)
378
00:16:17,377 --> 00:16:20,113
Like one of these?
- Sure, thank you.
379
00:16:22,315 --> 00:16:24,751
- Gotta fly with LSD.
Oh, wait a minute.
380
00:16:24,817 --> 00:16:25,985
(Geddy laughs)
381
00:16:26,053 --> 00:16:28,755
Off we go. Woo-hoo!
382
00:16:28,821 --> 00:16:32,425
("Fly by Night" by Rush plays)
383
00:16:32,759 --> 00:16:34,327
Airspeed's alive.
384
00:16:37,697 --> 00:16:39,499
Eighty miles an hour, rotate.
385
00:16:40,067 --> 00:16:42,669
Up we go! Hey!
386
00:16:42,735 --> 00:16:44,637
Woo-hoo!
387
00:16:44,704 --> 00:16:46,373
Gear up.
388
00:16:46,439 --> 00:16:48,508
500 feet a minute.
389
00:16:48,575 --> 00:16:51,278
* Why try, I know why
390
00:16:51,344 --> 00:16:54,081
This is aviation.
- This is spectacular.
391
00:16:54,147 --> 00:16:55,848
- It's fantastic.
It's a great way to get around.
392
00:16:55,915 --> 00:16:56,849
Here we go.
393
00:16:56,915 --> 00:16:58,818
* New life ahead
394
00:16:58,885 --> 00:17:00,287
There's the mighty Pacific.
395
00:17:00,353 --> 00:17:02,222
(Krist singing):
Beyond the sunset!
396
00:17:02,289 --> 00:17:05,657
* Fly by night, away from here
397
00:17:05,724 --> 00:17:07,926
* Change my life again
398
00:17:07,993 --> 00:17:10,196
(Krist): So, that's the beach
there, Long Beach.
399
00:17:10,262 --> 00:17:12,065
The water is like, placid.
400
00:17:12,132 --> 00:17:14,201
- Amazing.
- We'll go just to the tip
401
00:17:14,267 --> 00:17:16,069
of the bay here, and then,
we'll just go back.
402
00:17:16,136 --> 00:17:18,037
(Geddy): Looking down
at the planet
403
00:17:18,105 --> 00:17:19,872
with Krist by my side,
404
00:17:19,939 --> 00:17:21,741
I can see why he's so inspired
405
00:17:21,808 --> 00:17:23,742
to make his world
a better place.
406
00:17:23,810 --> 00:17:25,444
* Moon rise, thoughtful eyes
407
00:17:25,512 --> 00:17:27,946
(Krist): Okay, this is it.
There's our runway.
408
00:17:28,013 --> 00:17:29,916
- Oh.
- There we go.
409
00:17:29,982 --> 00:17:33,620
("Fly by Night" continues)
410
00:17:36,123 --> 00:17:37,924
(tires squeal)
411
00:17:38,658 --> 00:17:40,560
(air traffic controller
speaks indistinctly)
412
00:17:40,627 --> 00:17:43,163
- Terra firma. All right.
413
00:17:43,230 --> 00:17:44,364
That was a good flight,
wasn't it?
414
00:17:44,431 --> 00:17:46,199
(Geddy): Nice job.
- It's fun to fly.
415
00:17:46,266 --> 00:17:48,067
(Geddy): I thought you said
you were a boring pilot.
416
00:17:48,135 --> 00:17:51,304
- I am boring. I didn't do like,
"Let's do a barrel roll!"
417
00:17:54,307 --> 00:17:56,776
- That is so fun, man.
Thank you so much.
418
00:17:56,843 --> 00:17:58,611
Is this South America?
419
00:17:58,678 --> 00:18:01,348
Doesn't look like it. Damn!
420
00:18:09,656 --> 00:18:11,824
(rooster crows)
421
00:18:18,498 --> 00:18:19,699
- Is this bass too loud for you?
422
00:18:19,766 --> 00:18:21,434
- Sounds wonderful.
423
00:18:21,501 --> 00:18:23,336
And it's nice and punchy.
424
00:18:23,403 --> 00:18:25,205
It sounds great, Jack.
425
00:18:25,272 --> 00:18:28,040
(Geddy): Now for some
bigtime muzo fun.
426
00:18:28,107 --> 00:18:30,243
Krist has gathered together
a group
427
00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:31,711
of his current bandmates,
428
00:18:31,778 --> 00:18:33,813
including my old pal,
Matt Cameron,
429
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,183
drummer of Soundgarden
and Pearl Jam.
430
00:18:36,249 --> 00:18:40,487
He even lends me his super cool
black Ibanez bass.
431
00:18:40,553 --> 00:18:43,323
Now, that's effin' magic.
432
00:18:43,390 --> 00:18:45,558
(accordion hums)
433
00:18:45,625 --> 00:18:46,759
(Krist): Okay, here we go.
434
00:18:46,826 --> 00:18:51,030
("Dark Days" by Giants
in the Trees plays)
435
00:19:02,509 --> 00:19:06,846
* If there's anything
I understand *
436
00:19:06,913 --> 00:19:10,250

what the deity meant *

* I know that you believe it
440
00:19:23,330 --> 00:19:27,099
* But nobody understands
441
00:19:28,968 --> 00:19:33,240
* So the dark cloud
hanging over me *
442
00:19:34,974 --> 00:19:36,576
(Geddy): In our time together,
443
00:19:36,643 --> 00:19:38,778
Krist has shown me
that the same principles
444
00:19:38,845 --> 00:19:42,315
behind the underground scene
that birthed Nirvana
445
00:19:42,382 --> 00:19:44,384
still guide him today.
446
00:19:44,451 --> 00:19:46,185
A combination of qualities
447
00:19:46,253 --> 00:19:49,389
that make him
exceptionally human.

that you do have *

* But how well
you play the game *
451

that there's even a problem **
