All right, Alex.
124
00:05:54,087 --> 00:05:55,315
Here's all

125
00:05:55,455 --> 00:05:57,423
Whatever old blues albums
we have would be in here.
126

Thanks, Dad. This is great.
127
00:05:59,192 --> 00:06:01,285
Oh, look at this old term paper.

00:06:01,427 --> 00:06:05,124
"Flower Power: An Alternative
to Hydro-Electric Power."
129
00:06:05,264 --> 00:06:06,356
Oh, yeah, I remember that.
130
00:06:06,499 --> 00:06:07,625
That was the project to see
131
00:06:07,767 --> 00:06:09,257
if we could light

through geranium friction.
133
00:06:12,405 --> 00:06:14,669
How'd that turn out?
134
00:06:14,807 --> 00:06:17,275
At best, it's a backup.
135
00:06:17,410 --> 00:06:19,207
Oh, here's an old
Eddie Dupre album.
136
00:06:19,345 --> 00:06:20,903
Eddie Dupre at
the Monterey Blues Festival.
137
00:06:21,047 --> 00:06:22,537
Oh.
138
00:06:22,682 --> 00:06:25,480
"Perhaps the highlight of the
festival was Dupre's classic
139
00:06:25,618 --> 00:06:28,086
"rendition of 'Keys to the
Highway', in which he showed
140
00:06:28,221 --> 00:06:32,590
why many consider him to be
the King of the Delta Blues."
141
00:06:32,725 --> 00:06:34,659
It's hard to believe that
such a great musician could
142
00:06:34,794 --> 00:06:36,762
just disappear
from the music scene.
143
00:06:36,896 --> 00:06:38,727
None of these guys owned the
publishing rights to their song.
144
00:06:38,865 --> 00:06:41,356
They'd come in,
make-make a record, uh,
145
00:06:41,501 --> 00:06:42,900
get some lunch
if they were lucky.
146
00:06:43,035 --> 00:06:46,664
Maybe 50 bucks for the day...
somebody else got rich.
147
00:06:46,806 --> 00:06:48,137
What about the videos?
148
00:06:48,274 --> 00:06:50,265
Didn't they own
the rights to those?
149
00:07:00,052 --> 00:07:02,543
Mal, Mal, this is before videos.
150
00:07:02,688 --> 00:07:04,178

151
00:07:04,323 --> 00:07:06,314
Then what did they show on MTV?
152
00:07:13,266 --> 00:07:15,257

that's in your head, Mal.

Oh, I got it, I got it,
I got it, I got it.
175
00:08:19,699 --> 00:08:21,997
Hello, I'm Eddie Dupre.
176
00:08:22,134 --> 00:08:23,726
Uh, hi, I'm Alex Keaton.
177
00:08:23,870 --> 00:08:25,030
I'm Alex Keaton.
Please, come in.
178
00:08:25,171 --> 00:08:26,832
- Uh, can I take your coat?
- Thank you.
179
00:08:26,973 --> 00:08:30,875
Mr. Dupre, uh, I, uh,
I can't tell you how meaningful
180
00:08:31,010 --> 00:08:33,638
it is to meet you
after all these years.
181
00:08:33,779 --> 00:08:37,681
We are truly
two of your biggest fans.
182
00:08:37,817 --> 00:08:39,079
Wonderful of you to say that.
183
00:08:39,218 --> 00:08:40,845
But who are you?
184
00:08:40,987 --> 00:08:42,682
Oh. Um, this is my-my father,
Steven Keaton.
185
00:08:42,822 --> 00:08:43,789
This is my mother, Elyse Keaton.
186
00:08:43,923 --> 00:08:44,912
- Come in.
- Please, come in.
187
00:08:45,057 --> 00:08:46,752
This is my girlfriend,
uh, Lauren Miller.
188
00:08:46,893 --> 00:08:48,258
My sisters,
Mallory and Jennifer.
189
00:08:48,394 --> 00:08:50,191
- Hi.
- Uh, Mr. Dupre,
190
00:08:50,329 --> 00:08:51,819
there's something
I don't understand.
191
00:08:51,964 --> 00:08:55,559
That's the standard opening to
any remark she's likely to make.
192
00:08:57,136 --> 00:09:00,128
No, it's about these "blues"
you keep referring to.
193
00:09:00,273 --> 00:09:02,833
What exactly are you blue about?
194
00:09:02,975 --> 00:09:06,502
Little lady, personally,
I'm not blue about anything.
195
00:09:06,646 --> 00:09:09,843
These blues are like a pain.
196
00:09:09,982 --> 00:09:13,213
Pain that a man has
when his woman leaves him.
197
00:09:13,352 --> 00:09:16,810
Yeah, that's the blues,
all right.
198
00:09:16,956 --> 00:09:20,483
Thank you, "Lead Belly" Keaton.
199
00:09:20,626 --> 00:09:21,718
Uh, Mr. Dupre, listen.
200
00:09:21,861 --> 00:09:23,294
I-I thought maybe
when you came on the show,
201
00:09:23,429 --> 00:09:26,455
what I'd like to do is-is talk
a little bit about your roots.
202
00:09:26,599 --> 00:09:28,590
Yeah, and where
you come from, um...
203
00:09:28,734 --> 00:09:31,202
Do you remember
what your first paying job was?
204
00:09:31,337 --> 00:09:34,465
I was 12 years old
down in Statesboro, Georgia,
205
00:09:34,607 --> 00:09:37,508
where I was living at
when McPhail's Medicine Show
206
00:09:37,643 --> 00:09:41,044
come through the town, selling
some medicine out of a bottle
207
00:09:41,180 --> 00:09:43,273
they said that was good
for rheumatic pain, pneumonia
208
00:09:43,416 --> 00:09:45,816
and anything that ails you.
209
00:09:45,952 --> 00:09:47,886
They had a little show
that drawed the crowd around
210
00:09:48,020 --> 00:09:51,478
and they hired me...
for five cents a day.
211
00:09:51,624 --> 00:09:54,252
And all the medicine
I could use.
212
00:09:54,393 --> 00:09:56,827
I'll sing a little song.
213
00:09:56,963 --> 00:09:58,487
- Give me the guitar.
- Yeah.
214
00:09:58,631 --> 00:10:00,496
Show you how I did it.
215
00:10:00,633 --> 00:10:03,033

(applause)
229
00:10:51,217 --> 00:10:53,742
Mr. Dupre,
uh, it just struck me.
230
00:10:53,886 --> 00:10:55,251
We can't just do one night.
231
00:10:55,388 --> 00:10:57,686
We-we got to have
an Eddie Dupre festival.
232
00:10:57,823 --> 00:10:59,051
Uh, four nights of interviews.
233
00:10:59,191 --> 00:11:01,455
And then on the fifth night,
you perform live.
234
00:11:01,594 --> 00:11:03,027
Slow down.
235
00:11:03,162 --> 00:11:06,131
Just one interview... that's it.
236
00:11:06,265 --> 00:11:08,495
But, Eddie... uh, Mr. Dupre, um,
237
00:11:08,634 --> 00:11:10,625
it's just that, you know,
I think this is a chance
238
00:11:10,770 --> 00:11:12,829
for you to-to get back
to doing what you love.
239
00:11:12,972 --> 00:11:15,600
You don't understand.
240
00:11:15,741 --> 00:11:17,538
I'll talk on your show.
241
00:11:17,677 --> 00:11:19,611
I'll answer your questions.
242
00:11:19,745 --> 00:11:24,205
But Eddie Dupre will not
sing in public anymore.
243
00:11:31,490 --> 00:11:32,957
(raspy, bluesy voice):
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
244
00:11:33,092 --> 00:11:36,550
That was Blind... (coughs)
245
00:11:36,696 --> 00:11:37,993
(normal voice):
That was Blind Lem...
246
00:11:38,130 --> 00:11:41,156
That was Blind Lemon Jefferson
singing "Going to the Country,"
247
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:44,633
which was recorded in
Mobile, Alabama, April 17, 1936.
248
00:11:44,770 --> 00:11:47,933
Now, also on that date,
April 17, 1936,
249
00:11:48,074 --> 00:11:51,737
Xerox was first offered
over the counter.
250
00:11:53,446 --> 00:11:55,380
At $20 a share.
251
00:11:55,514 --> 00:11:57,641
And, hey, don't it
give you the blues to know
252
00:11:57,783 --> 00:12:00,843
you didn't get in at that price?
253
00:12:00,986 --> 00:12:02,248
Okay.
254
00:12:02,388 --> 00:12:06,188
It's 8:34 here on WLEL,
87.2 on your FM dial.

00:12:17,803 --> 00:12:20,636
Eddie Dupre will be joining us
right here in the studio.
260
00:12:20,773 --> 00:12:23,003
Now, I know
I said he was dead...
261
00:12:25,010 --> 00:12:26,910
...but I was dead wrong.
262
00:12:27,046 --> 00:12:28,536
(chuckles)
263
00:12:28,681 --> 00:12:30,808
Okay, now, here is Eddie Dupre,
264
00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:34,545

00:12:41,827 --> 00:12:43,556
You didn't think
I was going to show up?

00:12:43,696 --> 00:12:45,129
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Please, sit down.

- Oh.

271
00:12:46,599 --> 00:12:48,032
Whoa, okay, great.
272
00:12:48,167 --> 00:12:49,395
Uh, listen, can I get you
something to drink?
273
00:12:49,535 --> 00:12:50,467
Black coffee will do.
274
00:12:50,603 --> 00:12:52,400
Black coffee. Black coffee.
275
00:12:52,538 --> 00:12:54,563

Well, Eddie, uh, normally
I get a lot of requests
280
00:13:04,116 --> 00:13:06,346
for my fine vocal stylings,
but, um...
281
00:13:06,485 --> 00:13:08,510
tonight is your night.
282
00:13:08,654 --> 00:13:10,519
Don't worry.
283
00:13:10,656 --> 00:13:12,146

288
00:13:20,866 --> 00:13:22,493
So if you have any questions
for Mr. Dupre,
289
00:13:22,635 --> 00:13:24,694
call us here at 555-WLEL.
290
00:13:24,837 --> 00:13:26,862
And, uh, why don't
I get it started.
291
00:13:27,006 --> 00:13:29,338
Uh, Eddie, uh, can you
tell us a little bit
292
00:13:29,475 --> 00:13:30,965
about the kind of
music you make?
293
00:13:31,110 --> 00:13:33,374
Music is not to be talked about.
294
00:13:33,512 --> 00:13:35,605
It's like talking to somebody
about making love.
295
00:13:35,748 --> 00:13:39,149
You don't talk about it,
you just do it!
296
00:13:45,191 --> 00:13:47,455
All right, okay.
297
00:13:47,593 --> 00:13:48,719
I see.
298
00:13:48,861 --> 00:13:50,692
It's going well.
It's going... Okay.

MAN: Mr. Dupre,
I'm one of your biggest fans.
301
00:13:56,035 --> 00:13:58,367
This bozo... Keaton...
told me you were dead,
302
00:13:58,504 --> 00:14:00,131
and it got me real upset.
303
00:14:00,272 --> 00:14:03,503
So, if you get a wreath
of flowers, they're from Tony.
304
00:14:03,642 --> 00:14:05,007
Thanks, Tony.
305
00:14:05,144 --> 00:14:07,237
Yeah, hello. WLEL.
You're on the air.

Yes.

Mom! Quick! Turn it on!
312
00:14:29,468 --> 00:14:31,459

00:14:35,674 --> 00:14:36,868
Yeah, hello. WLEL.
314
00:14:37,009 --> 00:14:38,340
- You're on the air.
- MAN: Mr. Dupre,
315
00:14:38,477 --> 00:14:40,741
I'm Professor Webster
from the Music Department
316
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,440
here at Leland,
and I'm a very big fan of yours.
317
00:14:43,582 --> 00:14:45,812
Thanks. I love you.
318
00:14:45,951 --> 00:14:48,385
I've been trying
to track you down forever.
319
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,886
I'm staging a blues show
at the High Note Cafe,
320
00:14:51,023 --> 00:14:53,218
and I really want you
to be a part of it.
321
00:14:53,359 --> 00:14:55,327
Thank you,
but I'm not interested.
322
00:14:55,461 --> 00:14:57,429
Hey, uh, Eddie,
323
00:14:57,563 --> 00:14:58,928
that, you know,
that's-that's a big chance.
324
00:14:59,064 --> 00:15:01,760
Didn't I tell you I wasn't
going to perform anymore?
325
00:15:01,901 --> 00:15:05,928
Well, I-I'm very disappointed,
because in my mind,
326
00:15:06,071 --> 00:15:08,335
you're the greatest blues man
to ever hold a guitar.
327
00:15:08,474 --> 00:15:10,465
Well... good-bye.
328
00:15:10,609 --> 00:15:13,669
You know, I-I have to agree
with Professor Webster.
329
00:15:13,812 --> 00:15:15,336
Um... I mean, it...
330
00:15:15,481 --> 00:15:17,642
Mr. Dupre, it just seems to me
that this is a big opportunity.
331
00:15:17,783 --> 00:15:19,080
I don't see why
you wouldn't grab it.
332
00:15:19,218 --> 00:15:22,585
People don't want to hear
a bus driver sing the blues.
333
00:15:23,622 --> 00:15:25,283
Okay. Well...
334
00:15:25,424 --> 00:15:27,358
uh, we're going to play

00:15:55,220 --> 00:15:57,882
It was so cold
when I made that record,
345
00:15:58,023 --> 00:16:01,049
my fingers froze
to the "E" chord.
346
00:16:01,193 --> 00:16:02,683
Listen.
347
00:16:02,828 --> 00:16:05,626
That's Lightning Fats
on the rhythm guitar.
348
00:16:05,764 --> 00:16:07,493
That's Little Willie
on the bass.
349
00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:11,194
Hey, boy... mm.
350
00:16:12,237 --> 00:16:14,102
(sighs)
351
00:16:14,239 --> 00:16:16,173
(song ends)
352
00:16:16,308 --> 00:16:17,900
Wow.
353
00:16:18,043 --> 00:16:19,271
They don't make music
like that anymore,
354
00:16:19,411 --> 00:16:20,400
do they, ladies and gentlemen?
355
00:16:22,715 --> 00:16:24,239

to Mr. Dupre.
358
00:16:37,830 --> 00:16:39,263
I just want to say that
359
00:16:39,398 --> 00:16:42,890
I would walk 15 miles
in the snow to hear you play.
360
00:16:43,035 --> 00:16:45,196
20 miles in good weather.

to disappoint you like that.

WLEL. You're on the air.

364
00:16:51,210 --> 00:16:53,303
and our whole fraternity's
hoping you'll play.
365

You are, too, bro.
397
00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:20,097
(laughing):
Very good!
398
00:18:20,232 --> 00:18:21,199
Very good indeed.
399
00:18:21,333 --> 00:18:22,823
I had no idea we had two such
400
00:18:22,968 --> 00:18:25,300
down-home funky hepcats
in the Keaton family.
401
00:18:25,437 --> 00:18:28,770
You're right, Dad.
We're cool.
402
00:18:28,907 --> 00:18:30,169
Absolutely.
Andy has even decided
403
00:18:30,309 --> 00:18:31,901
what he's going to be
when he grows up.
404
00:18:32,044 --> 00:18:33,511
Oh, what is that?
A bluesman?
405
00:18:33,645 --> 00:18:34,839
No, a music publisher.
406
00:18:34,980 --> 00:18:36,971
Bluesmen don't make money.
407
00:18:38,617 --> 00:18:40,608
You must understand,
Professor Webster...
408
00:18:40,752 --> 00:18:43,220
See, in my view, your
"Pawn Shop Blues" has overtones
409
00:18:43,355 --> 00:18:44,947
of the Aeolian cadences
410
00:18:45,090 --> 00:18:47,581
in Mahler's
"Das Lied von der Erde."
411
00:18:47,726 --> 00:18:50,354
That's the way I think, too.
412
00:18:50,496 --> 00:18:53,522
You see, Mr. Dupre,
you are the absolute epitome
413
00:18:53,665 --> 00:18:55,098
of the American spirit.
414
00:18:55,234 --> 00:18:58,203
Professor Webster, you're
going to get on my nerves.
415
00:18:58,337 --> 00:19:00,328
"Mr. Dupre,
you're a living legend.
416
00:19:00,472 --> 00:19:02,303
"Mr. Dupre, you're indebted
to the blues.
417
00:19:02,441 --> 00:19:04,466
Mr. Dupre,
you're a national treasure."
418
00:19:04,610 --> 00:19:06,976
You caused all this.
419
00:19:07,112 --> 00:19:08,545
Yeah, I'm proud of it.
420
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,309
I just happen to believe that
the blues of Eddie Dupre are...
421
00:19:12,451 --> 00:19:13,884
every bit as important
a contribution
422
00:19:14,019 --> 00:19:15,987
to American culture
as Huckleberry Finn.
423
00:19:16,121 --> 00:19:17,611
Why don't you go find
Huckleberry Finn
424
00:19:17,756 --> 00:19:19,883
and hassle him, too?
425
00:19:20,025 --> 00:19:21,049
- Hi.
- Hi.
426
00:19:21,193 --> 00:19:22,057
- ALEX: Hi, girls.
- EDDIE: Hi.
427
00:19:22,194 --> 00:19:23,491
Hi, Mr. Dupre.
428
00:19:23,629 --> 00:19:26,462
We just wanted to let you know
that over the past few days,
429
00:19:26,598 --> 00:19:28,896
well, we've really become
big blues fans.
430
00:19:29,034 --> 00:19:30,899
- Yeah. So we made this for you.
- Yeah.
431
00:19:31,036 --> 00:19:32,833
Thank you. What is it?
432
00:19:32,971 --> 00:19:34,871
Oh, it's a scarf with all
the shades of blue in it.
433
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:35,905
Like the blues.
434
00:19:36,041 --> 00:19:37,668
Do you know you girls
are becoming
435
00:19:37,809 --> 00:19:39,208
- sweethearts of the blues?
- STEVEN: Yeah.
436
00:19:39,344 --> 00:19:40,834
All right.
We'll see you later.
437
00:19:40,979 --> 00:19:43,072
- Have a good show.
- Come on, buddy.
438
00:19:43,215 --> 00:19:45,308
- Have a good one.
- Oh...
439
00:19:45,450 --> 00:19:47,111
All right, so... you nervous?
440
00:19:47,252 --> 00:19:50,187
I got the two coldest feet
in history.
441
00:19:50,322 --> 00:19:53,689
The last time I played
before an audience was 1965.
442
00:19:53,825 --> 00:19:55,690
You wasn't born then.
443
00:19:55,827 --> 00:19:58,387
And I don't know
what Xerox was selling at.
444
00:19:58,530 --> 00:20:00,998
I've got a good notion to just
jump right out that door.
445
00:20:01,133 --> 00:20:02,122
No, Eddie, listen to me.
446
00:20:02,267 --> 00:20:05,430
If you don't sing tonight,
I will.
447
00:20:05,571 --> 00:20:08,062
Keaton, you fight dirty.
448
00:20:10,142 --> 00:20:11,302
ALEX:
Evening.
449
00:20:11,443 --> 00:20:13,604
We, uh... we have a very special
treat for you tonight.
450
00:20:13,745 --> 00:20:15,770

we haven't heard
451
00:20:15,914 --> 00:20:18,144
nearly enough of in a...
in a long, long time.
452
00:20:18,283 --> 00:20:21,047
Uh, he's come a long way
to be here tonight.
453
00:20:21,186 --> 00:20:23,814
Listen, there's nothing
I can say about this guy
454
00:20:23,956 --> 00:20:26,186
that he can't say himself
with his music.
