00:00You know, I think coffee tastes like shit.

00:02Hey, why don't you try a five-hour energy shot instead, dude?

00:05Same caffeine as coffee, zero sugar, and 17 flavors.

00:09Hey, thanks!

00:10Now what?

00:11I had some garlic bread last night.

00:13You better leave me alone with this mug.

00:22A 70-year-old woman in Arizona is battling cancer,

00:26but she got to see her all-time favorite band last week.

00:32She's 70.

00:33Okay.

00:34Her all-time favorite band.

00:35What is it?

00:3621 Pilots.

00:37Nine Inch Nails.

00:38Whoa!

00:39Good for her.

00:40Is that crazy?

00:41I want to F you like an animal.

00:45I want to feel you from the inside.

00:51I want to F you like an animal.

00:56My whole existence is flawed.

01:01You bring me closer to God.

01:06I love it!

01:07I would pay to see an old lady sing Nine Inch Nails.

01:11Oh, my God.

01:12Oh, we have to see this lady.

01:13It's pretty awesome.

01:14Here's her story.

01:16Take a listen to this report here.

01:19Terrible lie!

01:22Here we go.

01:23Hold on.

01:24Terrible lie!

01:26I just want to hear her.

01:27Anyway.

01:28Just because you got grim news from the doctor

01:30or you listen to really dark, loud music,

01:33that doesn't mean you can't spread kindness.

01:35And that's the case for Carla,

01:36who rocked a wish of a lifetime.

01:40There's no telling what Carla Wells might

01:42could be listening to in those headphones.

01:44This is stuff I partied to back in the 70s.

01:48She's got our headphones.

01:48She explained her life is a never-ending versatile playlist.

01:52Ranging from Jefferson Airplane, Jethro Tell,

01:55and Yes when she was growing up.

01:56Pala cello is my favorite instrument.

01:59To the mood-setting Motown or classical quartets on Sundays.

02:03But a closer look at her 70-year-old musical catalog,

02:07and there's one genre that's louder than the rest.

02:10Korn is probably my second favorite band.

02:13She's a rocker through and through.

02:16Too much acid.

02:18She loves cool, a perfect circle, Lincoln Park.

02:20But this 70-year-old's all-time favorite artist is Nine Inch Nails.

02:25He does write a lot of things about death.

02:28Those songs about death hit a little differently these days,

02:32as this Mesa Senior Living facility is part of her hospice care.

02:36Carla's been battling a spreading form of breast cancer,

02:39and this comes a few years after cancer took her husband.

02:42But grim news from the doctor or dark music didn't hurt Carla's kindness.

02:48I believe the more that you give, the more you get back.

02:52You know, always.

02:54And I love giving things away.

02:57When her neighbors needed walkers and wheelchairs,

02:59Carla didn't hesitate to offer up extras at her home.

03:03That led to a caretaker to nominate her for AARP's wish of a lifetime,

03:08reconnecting seniors with their passions.

03:11That wish was granted in the form of floor seats.

03:15So here she is in the middle of the mosh pit at PHX Arena,

03:19walking out but feet from frontman Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails.

03:27Carla is at peace for when her playlist does come to an end,

03:31and says the best way to live life is when the kindness is turned all the way up.

03:37The two words, be kind.

03:39What you say might cheer them up in ways that you have no idea does.

03:45Jordan Bonnke, ABC 15, Arizona.

03:48It's tough for me to sing like her now.

03:50No, you can't after that.

03:51No, she's awesome.

03:52She would love for you to sing like her.

03:54You make it all go away.

03:58You make it all go away.

04:03I just want something.

04:07But what's wild, so she...

04:08I just want something I can never have.

04:13She is ahead of her time because I feel like when our generation is that age,

04:24then that will be the music that we grew up with, that we love, for a lot of us anyway.

04:30Right?

04:31But she's older than that.

04:34She got into them older in life.

04:36Right, so I can remember when, before Korn was a big band,

04:44my sister got into Korn when nobody knew who Korn was.

04:50Okay.

04:50Like, she's playing this stuff.

04:53I'm like, damn, what in the heck are you listening to?

04:56And so during that time, she would have been like my mom.

05:04Right.

05:04You know what I mean?

05:05Like your mom getting into Korn.

05:06Yeah, my mom gets into it because, like, Kate's playing it.

05:09Yeah.

05:09And she's like, oh, yeah, I like it.

05:11You know, and then you just get older with them.

05:15It's unusual.

05:16It doesn't happen.

05:17It doesn't happen much.

05:18Yeah.

05:19I'd love to hear her do that.

05:21Boo, ba, ba, do, ba, ba, do, ba, do, ba, do, ba, do, ba, do, ba, do, ba, do, ba,

05:22I'd love for her to do the Korn Scott.

05:26I'm not giving myself a migraine headache today.

05:30Yeah, I think...

05:30I think you got it.

05:33Yeah.

05:33I think you nailed it.

05:35I'd love to see it live.

05:39Yeah.

05:40Glad.

05:40So glad she got to see that show.

05:42Sounds like an amazing woman, too.

05:43Like, she does a lot of good for people, so.

05:45Glad they did something nice.

05:46Very cool attitude about it all.

05:47I don't know if I'd be like, yeah, bring the news in and get my blanket.

05:51Yeah, no, you wouldn't.

05:53I know you wouldn't.

05:54Everyone's different.
