>> it's been a long seven years of porn. prostitution, stripping, drugs, alcohol and several failed suicide attempts, but i made it. >> come on, come on. >> reporter: xxx church is an online church is the soul mission to help people break free from pornography. >> i never met a girl or a guy in the industry that told me this is what i wanted to do when i was a kid. >> reporter: its pastor craig gross believes that porn notxd only hurts its stars but also marriages and families. >> first words out of their mouth are this is why i'm not longer married. >> reporter: craig knew he wanted to be a pastor since he was 17 years old. and founded the xxx church when he saw what a huge problem pornography was for his youth group. >> i just met a girl that got out of the industry recently. 390 films in the last seven years. average pay for a girl in porn is less than $1,000. she made $45,000 a year for the last seven years.

it's not even really great money. >> reporter: given craig's convictions -- >> every year? >> yeah, i've been every year. >> reporter: it's surprising that one of his closest friends is this man. ron jeremy, the most famous porn star in the world. >> so what can i do for you? >> reporter: ron got started in the porn business in 1978 twhen he and his then girlfriend sent pictures into playgirl magazine. >> i can do anything i want. >> reporter: he even has turned his porn star into nonporn roles and videos in movies including kid rock "cowboy." though he's had sex with countless women on screen and off, craig has only had sex with one -- his wife of 15 years, jeanette. >> i've been with a couple thousand women. craig has been with his life a couple of thousand times. same thing. >> yet the two have become fast

friends, even hanging out with craig's two young children. >> what do you think about your uncle ron? >> he's ron in the music video. >> which ones? sexy and i know it? >> reporter: they met at a porn convention zen yeseven years ag. they then started debating each other on college campuses about the pros -- >> the one way society measures success is by money. >> reporter: and cons. >> the average age someone sees porn is 11. >> reporter: including this "nightline" faceoff at yale university in 2008. >> you're so full of crap. >> since then, the odd couple have spent countless hours on the road together preaching different gospels. >> well, ron. what the heck am i doing here? >> on stage you see us battle it out about, you know, the industry. whenever there's a line of students outside a college to see us, if me and ron are driving in. and ron will be like quick, i

got to duck. and ron's ducking because he said they can't see we're friends because it will ruin the show. >> reporter: then ron was rushed to the hospital for heart surgery. >> he said craig, i'm scared, i don't want to die. he said will you pray for me? >> the exact conversation. craig, are you afraid for a coup of hours? yeah. are you still close to god? he said last time i checked. i said i would like you and him to come down to my hospital. >> reporter: after a lengthy hospital stay, ron pulled through. >> reporter: do you think craig's prayers worked and do you think there's a reason you survived? >> everybody's prayers worked. craig's worked. >> reporter: he saws he's a changed man. >> i love that christian music. >> reporter: in part because of what he has learned from craig. >> i had experiences that definitely made me believe in god. i mean, they had no other

explanation. >> reporter: ron estimates he has made millions throughout his career, but instead of recovering from his surgery in a lavish mansion -- >> here we have it. >> reporter: welcome home. he lives here in a motel apartment in hollywood. not bad. >> reporter: a stark contrast to craig's happy family home. >> look at that face. >> reporter: ron owned several homes, but they were unsuitable for his recovery. craig says the reason you're here is because you're horder. >> not a horde e, a pack rat. >> reporter: lying around, you'll find his best seller. the hardest working man in showbiz. his archaic address book. but despite his lifestyle, ron has been embraced by the xxx church. >> you know what we're against,

but you never know what i'm for. for me, i'm for ron. >> he ministers to them, brings them to the path of righteousness, and i think that's great. >> reporter: but no matter where ron lived or what his next film role is, craig and his family will always have room at the table for uncle ron. >> a jewish boy doing "amazing grace." >> he works in the scariest ways, his wonders to perform. next up, ladies and gentlemen, the rolling stones. mick, keith, charlie and ron can still paint it black after 50 years. ♪

it has been noted the average age of the rolling stones exceeds the average aej of the supreme court of the united states. you know who's not making all the predictable age jokes on this tour? everyone who's seen this tour. mick, keith, charlie and ron can still rock with the best of them. tonight, time is on our side as bill weir has this exclusive "nightline" interview with rock 'n roll royalty. >> there is a scene in the recent hbo documentary

"crossfire hurricane" that takes us backstage with the stones in the early '70s. back when mick jagger would slither into a body suit, snort coke off a switchblade and blow the minds of an arena packed to the sweaty rafters. ♪ . >> reporter: the laws of burnout tells us this level of hedonism will break a band up or kill the members young. for 2 1/2 hours he shimmys laps around the lips and tongue stage as baby boomers and their kids get a contact high from all this vintage uncut rock 'n roll. how do you do it?

how do you do it? i was sore the next day watching. >> it's what i do really. you have a room full of people go crazy and drink all your wine. >> reporter: we were talking about it. if people are willing to pay $500, $600 for a seat, just think what they would pay for a mick jagger elixir. your fitness regiment. >> i don't have much of a fitness regiment to be honest. it's pretty low key. i do have one. . >> reporter: keith richards is also 69. and admittedly less mobile on stage. but as he proved during the concert for hurricane sandy relief last december, that guitar gives him noless power to anyone with an eardrum. what's it like to be keith richards and hit an opening riff and see it just rip like electricity through a room like that. >> it is indescribable. i wish you could all be there. you know? but it's something i can't share

with anybody. maybe charlie watts and the guys in the band. there's just a magic to it. i'm in love with it, really. after all, when it comes down to it, what do we do and what are regood at? we touch people's hearts. >> and to think the stones nearly split for good several times over recent decades. as keith revealed in his recent autobiography life, his resentment for jagger began building in the '80s when the singer's ego seemed to grow too big for the band. i used to hang for mick, he wrote, but i haven't gone to h iz dressing room for 20 years. sometimes i miss my friend. where the hell did he go? >> charlie's insults to jagger

were so sering it took an apology from richards before this reunion could happen. how would you characterize your relationship with keith these days? >> at the moment, it's a pretty good working relationship. we see each other on stage and play together and rehearse. it's pretty good. those songs, did you write them together or separately? >> separately. i live in europe. >> reporter: one of the great clips i came across is you guys nodling together. how much of that is the secret sauce for the stones where you need to be together to do that. or have you involved past that? >> we need stood this. it's when we're not working it's a problem or could be.

otherwise, we've been working together. how you can all get along, once you're in the groove and stuff. it's very interesting. >> there was a time i thought i don't think it will happen again. i didn't mind, to be honest. >> there was a time it was in the balance when people would say oh, it looked like it. but i never believed it. some in the band have also tackled addiction. most notably keith's hard won battle with heroin. >> i have done it all. once you've done it all what are you going to do? you give it up and especially joy giving it up. the only thing i haven't done before was give things up.

>> he still enjoys a drink or three. but charlie watts, the elder stone has been a well behaved party man. and no partying for ronnie wood. he's been sober for a while. >> for a year. >> reporter: this is the first tour, though, right? test the will power? how's it going? >> going great. i handle things much easier. great support. it's a big deal when you do it first straight. ♪ i want to be your man >> reporter: thanks to eight weeks of all-day rehearsals to prepare for five shows. even though the tour was called "50 and counting" you can't help but wonder when this incredible run will end. charlie my darling goes back to

about it. >> still kicking. thanks to bill for that. the stones are going to play three stones in chicago. and coming up next, mariah carey nearly loses her dress on stage. >> now the back of my dress has popped. >> it's a wardrobe mishap but is the media making too much of it? . but sometimes, i still struggled to get going, even get through the day. so i was honest with my doctor. i told her i'd been feeling stuck for a long time. she said that for some people, an antidepressant alone only helps so much and suggested we add abilify (aripiprazole). she said that by taking both, some people had symptom improvement as early as 1 to 2 weeks. i wish i'd talked to my doctor sooner. [ female announcer ] abilify is not for everyone. call your doctor if your depression worsens or you have unusual changes in behavior,

or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens and young adults. elderly dementia patients taking abilify have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor if you have high fever, stiff muscles and confusion to address a possible life-threatening condition. or if you have uncontrollable muscle movements, as these could become permanent. high blood sugar has been reported with abilify and medicines like it and in extreme cases can lead to coma or death. other risks include increased cholesterol, weight gain, decreases in white blood cells, which can be serious, dizziness on standing, seizures, trouble swallowing, and impaired judgment or motor skills. [ sally ] since adding abilify, i feel better. abilify and my antidepressant make a pretty good team.
