Sir James Paul McCartney, MBE, Hon RAM, FRCM (born 18 June 1942) is an English musician, singer-songwriter and composer. Formerly of the Beatles (1960–1970) and Wings (1971–1981), he has been described by Guinness World Records as "The Most Successful Composer and Recording Artist of All Time", with 60 gold discs and sales of over 100 million albums and 100 million singles. With John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, he gained worldwide fame as a member of the Beatles, and with Lennon formed one of the most celebrated songwriting partnerships of the 20th century. After leaving the Beatles, he began a solo career and later formed the band Wings with his first wife, Linda Eastman, and singer-songwriter Denny Laine.
According to the BBC, his Beatles song "Yesterday" has been covered by over 2,200 artists—more than any other song. Wings' 1977 release, "Mull of Kintyre", became one of the best-selling singles ever in the UK, and he is "the most successful songwriter" in UK chart history, according to Guinness. As a songwriter or co-writer, he is included on thirty-one number one titles on the Billboard Hot 100, and as of 2012 he has sold over 15.5 million RIAA certified units in the United States.
Thomas Alan "Tom" Waits (born December 7, 1949) is an American singer-songwriter, composer, and actor. Waits has a distinctive voice, described by critic Daniel Durchholz as sounding "like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car." With this trademark growl, his incorporation of pre-rock music styles such as blues, jazz, and vaudeville, and experimental tendencies verging on industrial music, Waits has built up a distinctive musical persona. He has worked as a composer for movies and musical plays and has acted in supporting roles in films including Paradise Alley and Bram Stoker's Dracula; he also starred in the 1986 film Down by Law. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his soundtrack work on One from the Heart.
Lyrically, Waits' songs frequently present atmospheric portrayals of grotesque, often seedy characters and places—although he has also shown a penchant for more conventional ballads. He has a cult following and has influenced subsequent songwriters despite having little radio or music video support. His songs are best-known through cover versions by more commercial artists: "Jersey Girl", performed by Bruce Springsteen, "Ol' '55", performed by the Eagles, and "Downtown Train", performed by Rod Stewart. Although Waits' albums have met with mixed commercial success in his native United States, they have occasionally achieved gold album sales status in other countries. He has been nominated for a number of major music awards and has won Grammy Awards for two albums, Bone Machine and Mule Variations. In 2011, Waits was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Plot
Nereus is an autistic man who is being held captive by the Filaria crime family because he has an incredible ability to predict the exact outcome of sporting events. Keith Taylor is a drug addict that is struggling to stay clean and employed. This all changes the moment Keith discovers Nereus. With renewed hope, Keith devises a plan to kidnap Nereus and take him to Las Vegas. However many others want Nereus as well. One is an extremist spiritual group named the Mayans; another is two rogue DEA agents that have a plan to take Nereus on a Vegas trip of their own. The most sinister of these groups is the Filaria crime family and their two henchmen Santo and Johnny, who use extreme tactics like posting a bounty and enlisting a group of killer meth heads to hunt down and seize back the "Brain". Motivated by different reasons these groups inflict damage on one another and annihilate all that stands in between them and Nereus. As Keith and Nereus try to evade capture they find a kinship that is new to the both of them. Through their journey Keith realizes that Nereus is much more than a savant. He also unveils that they are connected through a greater cause than what is currently transpiring in the fourth dimension. This leads Keith to the secrets behind Nereus's ability to manipulate space and time and the ancient place these powers originate from. Eventually Keith will have to decide what path he must take, the one for himself, or the one for Nereus.

The War Wagon Rolls And The Screen Explodes!
[after shooting down two bad guys]::Lomax: Mine hit the ground first.::Taw Jackson: Mine was taller.
Lomax: I can't afford to let you get killed, unless I do it!
Lomax: You caused me a lot of embarrassment! You're the only man I shot, that I didn't kill.
Lomax: [Jackson and Lomax see a man getting shot at by a gang] Let me guess which one's your friend.
[first lines]::Hoag: Sheriff! Taw Jackson's back in town!::Sheriff Strike: You sure?::Hoag: Well, he's ridin' down the street right now, big as life.
Hoag: Maybe prison took some of the starch out of you?::[Taw shoots a withering glare at the deputy who shrinks back]::Taw Jackson: Maybe.
Taw Jackson: Where's Lomax?::Wes Fletcher: In Rondado... at the Oriental Palace. Billy Hyatt's in Chabisco.::Taw Jackson: Levi?::Wes Fletcher: He's down by Mesquitte with Colita's gang.::Taw Jackson: What about the shipment?::Wes Fletcher: The big one's four days from now.::Taw Jackson: Doesn't give us much time.

I'll pay him anything he wants.::Hammond: You'd pay him anything, sir?::Frank Pierce: I'll go for ten thousand.::Hammond: Hell, Mr. Pierce, we'd be willing to do it for a lot less than ten thousand dollars.::Frank Pierce: If you could! Lomax is the one man that can, so get moving.
Shack: Boss, you know the way they feel about each other, Lomax would probably ride all the way over here and kill him for nothin'.::Frank Pierce: Unless there's money in it, Lomax ain't goin' to do nothin' for nothin'... and I want Taw Jackson dead!
Lomax: What made you think I wouldn't kill you?::Taw Jackson: Curiosity.::Lomax: Well, you're still alive. Now what's to keep you that way?::Taw Jackson: Money.::Lomax: How much?::Taw Jackson: Your share will be over a hundred thousand.::Lomax: That's what I've always said the world needs... more simple understanding to bring people together!
Early one morning I walked out alone,
I looked down the street; no one was around.
The sun was just comin' up over my home,
On Hickory Street in a little farm town. And
[Chorus:]
Oooo-ee, ain't the mornin' light pretty,
When the dew is still heavy, so bright and early.
My home on the range; it's a one-horse town,
And it's alright with me.
Plow broke the prairie, the prairie gave plenty,
The little towns blossomed and soon there were many.
Scattered like fireflies across the dark night,
And one was called Early, and they sure named it right.
'Cause
[Chorus]
Many dry summers parched all the fields,
They burnt the fine colors and cut down on the yield.
But the rain has returned to wash away our tears,
It's the fullest green summer that
We've seen for years. And
Tell her to work at Tesco's
Tell her to stay at school
Tell her what's possible - all day derision
Down at the Bull and Bush
Hopeless in Harrogate
Over and above and she hasn't a clue
Twenty number six and she hasn't an answer
No one wants to listen and there's no one wants to know
Someone's got a question that she doesn't want to see...
...Knocking around at tea time?
Up in her room, alone
Something she doesn't know - the Skank Bloc Bologna
Keeping us all alive - something in Italy
Stuck around the home and they haven't a clue
Dinner's at six and it isn't an answer
Now, they've got a notion and they haven't got a hope
Rockers in the town - the magnificent six
Rockers in the town with an overestimation
Now they've got a notion and they're working on a hope
A Euro-ruled vision and a skank in scope
[Verse 1:]
Woke and realized I was free
To be anything if it was an integrity
With what I dream, I knew it couldn't be wrong
And would be done I was born to be Earth's song
[Chorus:]
And I feel like I'm running not away
But to take off and fly
Using this life as a run away
And I feel like I'm running not away
But to take off and fly
Using this life as a run away
[Verse 2:]
Going to sleep and other worlds I've seen
Where my thoughts turn into thangs
Magical, intangible, and know how fresh we would be
If we took our dreams seriously
'Cause I-I-I-I-I
[Chorus:]
I feel like I'm running not away
But to take off and fly
Using this life as a run away
And I feel like I'm running not away
But to take off and fly
Using this life as a run away
[vocal break]
[Chorus:]
So if you feel like you're running
Don't run away, just take off and fly
Use this lifetime as a run away
You feel like you're running
Don't run away, just take off and fly
Use this lifetime as a run way
Oh yeah...
Take off and fly
Take off and fly
Take off and fly
You just, you just, you just, you just
You just fly baby
Just fly away [fade]
Well, her old friend, from her own end of town
Dropped by today
And way down deep inside me something died
When he came 'round to see her that way
Here it comes again, that same old chilly wind
Will blow like a cold winter squall
And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall
And I'll be drinking again and thinking whenever he calls
There's a storm coming on
It won't be too long 'til the snow falls
Oh I'll be sober some
But when October comes and goes and no time at all
I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall
Oh, how quick they slip away
Here today and gone tomorrow
Love and seasons never stay
Bitter winds are sure to follow
Now there's no doubt, it's gonna be cold out tonight
I've shivered all day and when I look in her eyes
Needing to hold her so tight, she just looks away
Oh, she'll swear that it's true, he's just someone she knew
Long ago and I'll know that's not all
And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall
