14
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: what people want isn't want to beat the devil, and

15
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: they really believe is a good and a bad, a

16
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: good and an evil, and maybe he was evil. I

17
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: don't know his music. Evil is free speech, evil rock

18
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: and roll, the Devil's music. All the First Amendment is

19
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: is free to a speech, the right to say it.

20
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: Whatever it is you want to say, you have the

21
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: right to say it. But they can't police the bad

22
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: out of somebody. Man and they can't beat it out

23
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: of either, because there isn't the beating the devil all

24
00:01:37,480 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: there is this blood all the tracks. Chapter one, Phil

25
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: Specter and Lenny Bruce yea look. Other people thought I

26
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: was really wild, just really far out there, like they

27
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: thought that maybe I lost my mind, and maybe I had.

28
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the so called obscenities and my

29
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: act on stage. It wasn't even an act, Okay, I'm

30
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: talking about later. I'm talking about after I've been arrested

31
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: for the last time and people were bored with me.

32
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: They moved on. I moved on to I moved into

33
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: that house up in the hills, one off Hollywood Boulevard,

34
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,839
Speaker 1: just shot up the strip from Phil's place. People would

35
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: visit and take one look at my study. It was

36
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: a mess, and I could see that. Okay, I'd give

37
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: him that it was a mess. It made sense in

38
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: my mind and made sense outside of my mind, made

39
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: sense on paper. To them, they saw something far out.

40
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: There were hundreds of pieces of legal paper, you know,

41
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: that yellow line stuff, all over the floor. I wrote

42
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: a word in the middle of each piece, just one word,

43
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: a phrase, and then I'd ripped the page out tossed

44
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: it on the floor. I read another word on the

45
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: next one, another phrase, just one one of those straight thoughts,

46
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: and then I'd ripped the piece of paper up and

47
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: tossed it on the floor with the others. Phil brought

48
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: Mike Spencer up to the house. Mike was one of

49
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: his piano guys. Might get some friends with him. Phil

50
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: was always bringing people by the house and say hello, Hey,

51
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: come on, come meet Lenny, that sort of thing, ladies

52
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: and gentlemen. Mike stood in my study just staring at

53
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: the hundreds of pieces of paper on the floor. He

54
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: couldn't believe that this was how a comedian worked. What

55
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: can I say? Man? At that point, it was the

56
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: only way that made sense to me. My life was

57
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: all fucked. The judge finally came down on me with

58
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: that narcotics thing, that junkie rat two hundred and sixty

59
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: bucks one of year, suspended, set this couple of years

60
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: of approbation that was after everything else, blue shirts, and

61
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: put me in handcuffs for like six times during the

62
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: first half of the sixties. They arrested me in San

63
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: Francisco for saying cocksucker. Of all things. They arrested me

64
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles for saying schmuck. They squeezed me in Philadelphia,

65
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: and that was for the junk I think sitting at

66
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: Brother who Love You dig? And then they arrested me

67
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,799
Speaker 1: in Chicago, New York City. Nightclubs all over the country

68
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: put me on a blacklist, a list of one brother.

69
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: Let me tell you that I got yank from the

70
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: stage of a burlesque club of all places, because I

71
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: was too dirty. And they wouldn't even let me in

72
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: the United Kingdom anymore or Australia. I wouldn't want to

73
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: corrupt to kangaroo. So what can I say? Man? I

74
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: was drained physically emotionally. I was bankrupt too, and I

75
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: couldn't keep from sticking that goddamn needle in my arm anymore.

76
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: Phil was the only one who believed to me. Phil

77
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: new destitute, Phil new loneliness. Phil Specter knew the face

78
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: of men who had been forsaken by his p He

79
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: was by the beloved old guard establishment. I was penniless, addicted.

80
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,119
Speaker 1: I guess Phil saw a kindred spirit in me, a brother.

81
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: He took me to his place on Muckleina, driving Beverly Hills.

82
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. It was a fucking mansion. He let me

83
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: use his office down on the strip, through some money

84
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: at me when I needed it. I feel even one

85
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: on the MERV Griffith Show defended me in front of

86
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: another film, Phil Foster, that old schmuck. Foster was this

87
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: standoffice old prick who just finished telling MERV that he

88
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: hated new music, the kind of music Phil was making.

89
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: And then they bring Phil up from the wings and

90
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: bush Foster with him, fills there with his newsboy cap

91
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: holding on for dear life on top of his bushy hair,

92
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: and his sideburns had taken on the life of their own,

93
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: taking over half his face. MURV introduces Phil as the

94
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: king of rock and roll records, which you know he was,

95
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: and Foster can't see it because he's some old Sinatra crony.

96
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: Foster starts beating on film the way those old girl

97
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: comics do. It's all these pricks know what to do.

98
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: It's like the verbal equivalent of sitting on top of

99
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: someone's face. It's fucking rope man, it's lame. I record

100
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: Lenny Bruce. Phil claimed right there on national television, and

101
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: I was a mess man persona non grata. America knew it.

102
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: And sure ship old Mr Griffin do it too. Phil

103
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: Specter didn't give one fuck That song by the Crystal said,

104
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: Phil wrote, He's a rebel. Yeah, and I could have

105
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 1: been written about me. I was Phil's rebel, and I yelled.

106
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: That rebel yelled louder than Phil Specter. Whatever dare. Okay,

107
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: Phil Specter was not hit. His reputation proceeded. I'm sure

108
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: the tycoon of teen on that nonsense. He said he

109
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: had his finger on the Paul also Young America, and

110
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: then he turned something disposable into art. I didn't know

111
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: anything about that. That wasn't my world. Talk to me

112
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: about Cannonball, Adderly or Bill Evans and I'm picking up

113
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: what you're throwing down. Talk to me about Darlene Love

114
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: and the Teddy Bears and you've lost me. So when

115
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: they say he had his finger on the pulse, I

116
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: only ever saw his fingers wrapped around cold, hard cash.

117
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: He took the pulse of money pretty damn well. He

118
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: knew what it felt like to touch, what it smelled like.

119
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: You could smell the residue of Chris Bills and his Caddyman.

120
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: It was all over him like an after shave. Get

121
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: the kind of money that allowed him to catch a

122
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: flight from l A to San Francisco last minute on

123
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: a Sunday evening. You see a midnight show by yours. Truly,

124
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: he was just hanging around one Sunday afternoon and felt

125
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: like getting out of the house. Threw down his bucks.

126
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: United flight, this, United flight, that, and he was at

127
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: the Basin Street West when I took the stage at

128
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: twelve sharp. Jesus, can you imagine that kind of cash?

129
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,119
Speaker 1: I was up to my eyeball wasn't dead at that point.

130
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: I'd never lived comfortably again, so I thought I was,

131
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: let's see maybe four grand in the hole. At that

132
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: point in the Basin Street West, you should have seen

133
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: this place. Phil was there with some DJs from Los Angeles,

134
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: and then they were a handful of other people. A

135
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: handful is generous man midnight on a Sunday. It wasn't

136
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: like it used to be. I didn't even have enough

137
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: cash to buy a pack of smokes that alone. God

138
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: damn fix. I felt like a schmuck. I couldn't let

139
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: anyone know. I felt like a shuck. So here comes Phil.

140
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: Smells like dollar bills, crispin sure, but crumpled ones to

141
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: the ones you find at the bottom of your pockets,

142
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: and you leviyes when you're doing laundry, bawled up, forgotten about.

143
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: He wants me to come down to l A spend

144
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: some time with him. He wants to produce some of

145
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: my shows. He's got an idea for a residence at

146
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: the Fond Theater. He wants to release my next live album.

147
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: Can I say he came on strong? And what did

148
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: I know? I even enough not to say no, I'm

149
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: playing to a handful of sorry, asked Fox at the

150
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: Basin Street West, one of the only gigs I could

151
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: find at the time. I was broke. I was down,

152
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: I was out. Here's this guy, He's basically rolling up

153
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: the red carpet. He may have had the means, but

154
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: he certainly was not a hit. I mean, he may

155
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: have talked the talk, he may have worn the shades

156
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: about the collar of his pea coat and dangled the

157
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: occasional cigarella from his lips. But the man was the

158
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: squarest of the squares. He didn't walk nor walk, but

159
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: he liked how I walked the walk. Phil looked at

160
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: me and saw a guy with a dirty mom, A

161
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: guy who said what he wanted a guy who didn't

162
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: give a fuck. He saw a drug addict. He saw

163
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: a drug addict within a rest record longer than the

164
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: personnel sheet for one of his Wall of Sound sessions.

165
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: He was close to being a has been himself. Maybe

166
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: he saw a kindred spirit in me, a couple of

167
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: dried up, tossed out losers. He told me about how

168
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: he made the biggest songs in the world for acts

169
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: simply turned the backs on him, and about the groups

170
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: that he hit big with and then struggled to hit

171
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: big with again, those Rounnetts and Righteous Brothers again on

172
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: my bag man. But Phil told me the he was

173
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: the true artist, the true architect, the one who allowed

174
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: everyone else a few minutes of infamy on the dial,

175
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: and then it just all slipped from his hands. And

176
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: you know what, I let him see whatever he wanted

177
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: to see. Phil had the cash, and he wanted to

178
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: give the cash to me, and that's all that mattered.

179
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: He could put me on whatever pedestal he wanted. Sure

180
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: I hung out with him in l A, spent a

181
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: lot of time at that old Woolworth mansion that has

182
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: sat down in the back of that caddy with him

183
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: while we cruised down Labraa so he could grab a

184
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: couple of dogs from pinks. I always gave a ship

185
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: for that. It's all lips and assholes, Phil, I told him.

186
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: Made him laugh and maybe that's what he needed me.

187
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: I needed bread. I needed bread to buy my daughter

188
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: a birthday present. Needed money for a pack of smokes,

189
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: needed money for other things that I didn't tell Phil about.

190
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: He was on a needed no basis, as was I.

191
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: I suppose. I went to Danny Davis for the cash.

192
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: Phil's business manager. Phil told him to give me whatever

193
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: I needed, no questions asked. One time I overheard Danny

194
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: talking on the phone about how I was just a

195
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: phase ful Phil, that Phil went through people like he

196
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: went through hit records. So I decided to double down,

197
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: squeeze as much juice as I could get, lending my

198
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: ear when Phil was looking for one to bend. Look.

199
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: I knew about his past, I knew about the ship.

200
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: He had a dirty asthma's allergy to sunlight. He was

201
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: a fat kid. It was teased relentlessly. He never shook

202
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: that thing with his father either. Phil told everyone that

203
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: his old man had a heart attack, just some normal one.

204
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: Of the mill cover story. But he told me the

205
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: real story. He told me all the real stories. I'm

206
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: telling you. The guy thought he was talking to himself

207
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: when he was talking to me. I can't explain it.

208
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: He told me the thing with this old man was April.

209
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: It was a big deal that it was April. For

210
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: some reason, the fact really stuck in his brain. Some

211
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: time around then he made some passing reference to debts,

212
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: to organized crime, distress and depression. That was the fuzzy part.

213
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: The party was clear about. It was the part where

214
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 1: his old man parked his car on the curve of

215
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn, took a two and put one

216
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: end in the exhaust, put the other end in the

217
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: front window, rolled the window uptight, and turned the car on.

218
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: What a way to go, all right? I mean ship,

219
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. What do I know about taking it

220
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: a lung full of carbon monoxide? It seems like a

221
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: hell of a way to go. We'll be right back

222
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: after this word word word. One night, Bill wouldn't let

223
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 1: me leave his car. I'm talking about that Caddy the

224
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: limit right. The thing was a beast ship. A couple

225
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: of guys like us could have lived in that thing

226
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: for a few days, and this night I really thought

227
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: that was gonna happen, that we live in the thing.

228
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: He just didn't want me to leave him, not that,

229
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: not yet. It was so late and the sun was

230
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: almost up again. It was late, it was early. What

231
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: was the difference, feeling? I we're both living the kind

232
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: of lines that didn't pay attention to the day of

233
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: the week, let alone what hour it was. He said

234
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: that of that caddy together, one across from the other.

235
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: He just kept talking to me. I would make a

236
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: movement motion towards the door. He put a hand up,

237
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: asked me another question, and asked me where I was going?

238
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: Tell me another story? Hey, Lenny, did I tell you

239
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: about the time? Give me a reason to stay the caddie?

240
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: As we sat talked until we ran out of things

241
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: to talk about. When he had nothing else to talk about,

242
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: we listened to the engine harm in prayer. He didn't

243
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: want to go back to his place all alone. The

244
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: guy was the biggest pot producer on the planet did

245
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 1: but he was always alone. Charles Foster came going back

246
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: to Xantitude for another lonely night. We had just driven

247
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: back from Cantor's out on Fairfax Joint coach scene and

248
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: be seen the whole scene, the whole night. You had

249
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: the knock worst, the knock worst that canters have you

250
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: had it out of sight? It was late, so late

251
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: nighthawks at the Diamond League. Probably two am, doesn't matter

252
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: how late it gets in l A. The lights are

253
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: always on the neon hams above the storefront. Sounds like

254
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: steak sizzling on the grill, and it's bright to man

255
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: sh it. Sometimes l A at night it feels more

256
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: alive than it does during the day. Is that big

257
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: electric hum before nineteen North Fairfax Cantor's fair Fax opened

258
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: twenty four hours Bakery Delicateston. You can tell what time

259
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: it was by the crowd of cancers. He didn't need

260
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: to watch. If the joint was full of a bunch

261
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: of octagenarians taking long slipes of suit, was midmorning. The

262
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: place was jumping with a bunch of wire kids, kicking

263
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: out from the last party and looking for the next one.

264
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: It was two am. Phil took me with him to

265
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: meet with Frank Sappa that night. Phil want of the company,

266
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: wanted a familiar face with him in case Frank boored

267
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: him too tears. Of course, he brought one of his

268
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: bodyguards with the two might have a big red. Phil

269
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: thought he was the most important person in the world,

270
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: and the bodyguard helps sell that image. Was the ultimate hustle.

271
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: Frank was doing a little hustling himself. I'm sure the

272
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: big labels were a bit skeptical of him. Everyone was

273
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: skeptical of whom his band, The Mothers are invention, long hairs, beards,

274
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: looked like a bunch of back murderers. He did. Frank

275
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: needed a label to release his first record. He thought,

276
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: maybe Phil get involved, put it out on his Phillies label.

277
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: I think Frank saw a fellow outcast, a fellow member

278
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: of the French. Frank thought he had found his meal ticket. Sure,

279
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: And of course there was Frank's idea of Fringe, and

280
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: then there was Phil's idea of fringe, and the two

281
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: were light years apart. Frank brought this cat with him,

282
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: Danny Bruce. Danny Bruce, no ship. I said, are you

283
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: shooting me? Who the fuck is this guy? He had

284
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: to be working with me, right, am I? Right? Danny

285
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: fucking Bruce. I looked this guy straight in his eyes

286
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: and I said, are you fucking with me, man, I

287
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: swear I thought it was some cosmic joke, some cosmic

288
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: two am joke on Junkie Jones and for something sharp

289
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: and hard at the Kosher Delhi on Fairfax, and Denny

290
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: Bruce said, no, man, I'm Danny Bruce, no relation, no ship.

291
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: Frank starts talking about how he changed his name is

292
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: a tribute to me, so Denny corrects him. The name

293
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with his room name was Leonard Schneider,

294
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: and he needs something a little less jew and a

295
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: little more going for show biz. I get them, me

296
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: and Frank, who got into it. He looked at me

297
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: and saw a kindred spirit. Frank thought I was some besidah,

298
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: no joke. All Frank wonder was the question authority railed

299
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: against authority, and here he had the guy who took

300
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: that anti authority jat all the way to the bitter end.

301
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: I couldn't have cared less Jack, Jack, Frank, whatever the

302
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: fucking name is. I just needed to get through the

303
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: social engagement so that I could feel okay if I

304
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: hit Philip for some more cash, which of course meant

305
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: more junk. And then we were back home, the Caddy

306
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: Limo rolling up to my place out on West Hollywood Boulevard,

307
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: way up there in the weeds of Tinseltown. I just

308
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: needed to fix That's all I could think about. It's

309
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: all I thought about all night. The fil had any idea,

310
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: He didn't care. He wouldn't know needle if it jumped

311
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: from the ground and poked him in the ass. I

312
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: kept my secrets pretty close to the vest. Feel. Secrets

313
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: weren't kept at all, at least not around me. They

314
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: tumbled out, they spewed forth, they were blurted. There was

315
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: no embargo on the kinds of things that came out

316
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: of his mouth. He used the stories to keep me

317
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: hanging around after he doled out the money, like to

318
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: think about his old man. And now, in the car

319
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: outside my place, way out in the willie wags of

320
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: Hollywood Boulevard, he was telling me more secrets, secrets that

321
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: would buy him a few more minutes with me, a

322
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: few more minutes before he had to be alone again.

323
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: He was telling me about the time he got piste

324
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: on by a couple of kids have followed him into

325
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: a bathroom after he just played a show, The Teddy Bears,

326
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: that's what they were called, which I mean in all fairness,

327
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: sounds like the name of a band that wants to

328
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: get piste on in the men's bathroom. If you know

329
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Here's Phil and his flat top and

330
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: embroidered sweater. He's the manifestation of a mark a square

331
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: and this is back when he couldn't hide be in

332
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: the square so lay fifties. I think he said it

333
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: was in New York, but it doesn't matter. These kids

334
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: he feel performed. And then when he heads into the

335
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: men's room there on hist hell, he has no clue.

336
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 1: A couple of them whole fill down on the floor,

337
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 1: another one keeps watching at the door, and another one

338
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: on zips his khakis and just pisces all over him. Humiliates.

339
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: Phil is like twenty years old, breaking into show bissess

340
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: and he's being held down against the cold, wet tile

341
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: of a nondescript men's room while pisces raining down on him.

342
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why he felt a connection with me. He

343
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: was humiliated on the floor of the bathroom by some

344
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: holier than now thugs. I was humiliated on the stage

345
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: by some holier than the cops. Phil Specter was absolutely

346
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: fucking nothing like me, but he thought he was man.

347
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: What else he thought? I'd never know? And that was

348
00:18:39,480 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: the last night I ever saw. August third to five

349
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: West Hollywood Boulevard. Not the iconic Hollywood Boulevard that runs

350
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: parallel to Sunset Boulevard, but the Hollywood Boulevard that passes

351
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: over Laurel Canyon, The Hollywood Boulevard that retreats up the hill,

352
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: the one that hides among the oaks and sycamores and

353
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: eucalyptus trees, the one that gets squirrelly, twisted, winding, shady, obscured.

354
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: That's the Hollywood Boulevard. The sirens raced up that night.

355
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: A little to the west, the phone rang in phili

356
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: Specter's house. Were traveled fast. Phil answered the phone, listen

357
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: to the voice on the other line, didn't say a word.

358
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: Within seconds, he slammed the receiver down so hard it

359
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: made the bell ring on the base of the rotary.

360
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: Phil grabbed Danny Davis by the shirt collar, pulled him

361
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: quickly from the house, and they ran outside the Tora

362
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 1: to the white caddy. Phil yelled at Danny, told him

363
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: to get in the car, and told him to drive fast.

364
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: They needed to get over to Lenny's Place as quickly

365
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: as fucking possible. They needed to be there ten minutes ago.

366
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: They avoided the strip and went the back roads. They

367
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: hit to he need to Sunset Hills or right onto

368
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: Oriole and then thrash her ab Rising Glen Road, Sunset

369
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: Plaza Drive, and finally banged a hard right on the

370
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: Hollywood Boulevard. There were cops outside Lenny's place when they arrived,

371
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: bright coplights. Phil was out of the caddy and pacing

372
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: furiously towards the front door. The cops were standing around,

373
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: talking low, mumbling under the breath, smoking cigarette butts with

374
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: red hot ends flicked to the ground, filled it and

375
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: stopped to ask questions or announce his presence. Phil was

376
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: inside now. He followed the cops, made his way into

377
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: the living room, passed the kitchen, more cops, towards the bathroom.

378
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: Even more cops, and they were like a trail of

379
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: bread crumbs, those cops, and they led Phil Specter right

380
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,959
Speaker 1: to what he'd been told he would find Lenny Bruce

381
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: dead on the floor next to the john, his pants

382
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: around his ankles, a needle in his arm, gloated, half naked, exposed, humiliated.

383
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: Lenny was gone, daddy O. Phil looked around at the

384
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: bathroom full of cops. These goddamn cops. They persecuted Lenny,

385
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: harassed him, told him what he could and couldn't say,

386
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: told him which jokes he could tell, told him what

387
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: words he could say, pulled him from the stage, put

388
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: him in handcuffs, chewed him up, spat him out, left

389
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: him for dead. Lenny wasn't the only one exposed and

390
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: humiliated on a bathroom floor. Phil also thought back to

391
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: his own bad memory in a bathroom. Bathrooms were a

392
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: bad scene, man, and this scene was the worst. His

393
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: heart pounded. He felt himself losing control of his better judgment.

394
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: He was on his knees now. The cops tried to

395
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,959
Speaker 1: haul him away, but he stood his ground. You did this,

396
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: he shouted at every batch in the room. You killed him.

397
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: An overdose of morphine. Fucking ponderous. It was an overdose

398
00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: of police, plain and simple. Phil couldn't shake the police.

399
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: They came by his office soon after Lenny's death, fists

400
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: full of photos from the scene in Lenny's bathroom. The

401
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: raw shots of Lenny Lang prone in the bathroom tile

402
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: looked like something from Luigi's portfolio. The cops joke that

403
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: maybe Phil wanted to buy them for one of his

404
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: album covers. It was a sick joke, but Phil took

405
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: it as a serious offer. How much he asked five

406
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: grand sold. It was a small price to pay to

407
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: keep them out of someone else's hands, and it was

408
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: the last piece of Lenny that he could hold onto.

409
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: Phil couldn't shake Lenny. He paid for the funeral, delivered

410
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: the eulogy. He hung a giant poster of money directly

411
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: above his bed, larger than life. In it, Lenny's gaze

412
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: was tired but foreboding, the look of a man far

413
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: past his prime, bloated, worn out, scatter rain on junk.

414
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: Phil would climb into bed, find comfort in Lenny's gaze

415
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: bearing down on him, but his wife, Ronnie Specter would

416
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: lay next to him, unable to close her eyes. She'd

417
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: turned on her side, her stomach, but she always felt

418
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: Lenny's eyes following her, burning into her, judging her. She

419
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: would roll onto her back, look up at the overbearing

420
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: image of the man her husband briefly idolized his Socrates,

421
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: he would say, and she felt something was terribly wrong.

422
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: She felt it was an omen a warning from beyond

423
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: the grave and above her bed something evil. There is

424
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: no good and there is no evil. There's only blood

425
