00:01:04,006 --> 00:01:06,543
Commencing countdown.

00:01:06,576 --> 00:01:07,610
10,
5
00:01:08,611 --> 00:01:09,446
nine,
6
00:01:10,580 --> 00:01:11,614
eight,
7
00:01:12,649 --> 00:01:13,683
seven.
8
00:01:15,017 --> 00:01:15,652
Error.
9
00:01:16,753 --> 00:01:20,590
Circuit malfunction.
10
00:02:20,182 --> 00:02:21,684
Can you hear me?
11
00:02:25,588 --> 00:02:26,723
Can you hear me?
12
00:02:29,559 --> 00:02:31,326
Can you hear me? Sir?
13
00:02:32,462 --> 00:02:35,798
You need to buckle
up. We're landing now.
14
00:02:35,832 --> 00:02:38,200
If Washington
is your final destination,
15
00:02:38,233 --> 00:02:41,169
then from me and your
DC Dulles flight crew,
16
00:02:41,203 --> 00:02:42,472
a warm welcome.
17
00:02:59,789 --> 00:03:00,757
Next.
18
00:03:04,259 --> 00:03:05,093
Hello.
19
00:03:08,297 --> 00:03:09,097
Name?
20
00:03:09,131 --> 00:03:10,299
David Bowie.
21
00:03:11,834 --> 00:03:13,736
This says David Jones.
22
00:03:13,770 --> 00:03:14,938
Yes.
23
00:03:14,971 --> 00:03:18,608
It is a felony to travel on
someone else's documentation.
24
00:03:18,641 --> 00:03:21,310
Oh, uh, Bowie is a
stage name, you see?
25
00:03:21,343 --> 00:03:23,880
I, I haven't used David
Jones for a long time.
26
00:03:23,913 --> 00:03:26,683
I'm here to play some concerts.
27
00:03:28,751 --> 00:03:30,853
So where's your visa?
28
00:03:30,887 --> 00:03:31,821
Sorry?
29
00:03:31,854 --> 00:03:34,122
This is a tourist visa.
30
00:03:35,558 --> 00:03:37,727
Oh, I'm sorry, officer.
There must be a mistake.
31
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,730
You see, well my wife's
an American citizen.
32
00:03:40,763 --> 00:03:42,765
But where's your green card?
33
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:44,132
It's...
34
00:03:44,166 --> 00:03:45,835
Um, I'm getting one.
35
00:03:46,803 --> 00:03:49,439
Please, there's a
whole tour planned.
36
00:03:49,472 --> 00:03:50,707
It's extremely important.
37
00:03:50,740 --> 00:03:51,741
You see, I've got, I've
got an album coming out-
38
00:03:51,774 --> 00:03:52,909
- Sir.
39
00:03:52,942 --> 00:03:54,777
Stop talking.
40
00:04:10,860 --> 00:04:14,229
Sir, does this
garment belong to you?
41
00:04:14,262 --> 00:04:15,498
Uh, ye, yeah.
42
00:04:17,900 --> 00:04:20,470
You dress in women's clothes?
43
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,541
It's a man's dress, actually.
44
00:04:25,575 --> 00:04:27,910
It's by Michael Fish, he's,
45
00:04:27,944 --> 00:04:30,780
he invented the kipper tie.

Hi, David.
52
00:05:51,394 --> 00:05:52,795
Hi.
53
00:05:52,829 --> 00:05:54,964

Come on, Marc Bolan's here.
58
00:06:07,844 --> 00:06:08,978
David.
59
00:06:10,646 --> 00:06:14,316
Our bed of love is like
a glove, tender and warm,
60
00:06:14,349 --> 00:06:16,886
that we creep into
when the eye of north
61
00:06:16,919 --> 00:06:18,888
whines like birds of prey.
62
00:06:20,423 --> 00:06:23,693
Our goblet sails smoothly
on ethereal dreams
63
00:06:23,726 --> 00:06:26,062
like a mountain, solid.
64
00:06:26,095 --> 00:06:31,033
It begotten of the earth and
at the old mother's mercy.
65
00:06:31,067 --> 00:06:33,436
Brown is the bread
of the wilderness,
66
00:06:33,469 --> 00:06:36,806
but tender and with
limbs light and subtle.
67
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:37,740
David.
68
00:06:37,774 --> 00:06:38,541
To the eternal washing
69
00:06:38,574 --> 00:06:40,076
in the spring of wisdom.
70
00:06:40,109 --> 00:06:42,044
Winged, but not burned.
71
00:06:42,078 --> 00:06:43,546
Do you know him?
72
00:06:43,579 --> 00:06:45,047
Yeah.
73
00:06:45,081 --> 00:06:45,882
I married him.
74
00:06:47,717 --> 00:06:48,918
I'm sorry.
75
00:06:48,951 --> 00:06:50,520
Oh, its not that kind
of marriage, darling.
76
00:06:50,553 --> 00:06:52,021
We don't keep secrets.
77
00:06:52,054 --> 00:06:53,956
We screw whomever we adore.
78
00:06:53,990 --> 00:06:56,025
No bourgeois morality.
79
00:07:00,897 --> 00:07:04,667
If you want him, you
have to come through me.
80
00:07:07,136 --> 00:07:11,974
Frail and frank,
pillowing our sleepy bodies.
81
00:07:12,008 --> 00:07:14,877
Silent in the
noise of the night.
82
00:07:14,911 --> 00:07:17,480
Meet us upstairs later, babe.
83
00:07:18,381 --> 00:07:20,950
We snuggle and vibrate,
84
00:07:20,983 --> 00:07:24,387
entwined like
saplings of the vine.
85
00:07:26,389 --> 00:07:28,356
Oh, that's marvelous
Marc, really beautiful.
86
00:07:28,391 --> 00:07:29,792
Cheers.
87
00:07:29,826 --> 00:07:32,360
It's about scaling to a
higher realm of consciousness
88
00:07:32,395 --> 00:07:35,097
where God can dictate to you.
89
00:07:35,131 --> 00:07:36,866
Congratulations, mate.
90
00:07:36,899 --> 00:07:37,900
Ride a White Swan.
91
00:07:37,934 --> 00:07:39,435
It's at number two.
92
00:07:39,468 --> 00:07:40,970
Yes. I wrote it on this batch.
93
00:07:41,003 --> 00:07:43,472
David, why don't you join us?
94
00:07:43,506 --> 00:07:45,842
Might help unblock you.
95
00:07:45,875 --> 00:07:47,810
Go on, have one you big blass.
96
00:07:47,844 --> 00:07:50,780
David doesn't need
acid to be a poet.
97
00:07:50,813 --> 00:07:54,817
If you ask me, if you want
to make anything important,
98
00:07:54,851 --> 00:07:58,387
you've got to be willing
to go to the very edge.
99
00:07:58,421 --> 00:07:59,889
Push yourself.
100
00:07:59,922 --> 00:08:03,526
Blow your mind into a
million little pieces.
101
00:08:05,728 --> 00:08:06,796
How are you man?
102
00:08:06,829 --> 00:08:08,598
How's the new record doing?
103
00:08:08,631 --> 00:08:10,399
It's just been released
in America, actually.
104
00:08:10,433 --> 00:08:11,701
It's doing really well.
105
00:08:11,734 --> 00:08:13,836
Oh, I'm so happy for you.
106
00:08:13,870 --> 00:08:18,541
You just don't quit, even
when it all seems so hopeless.
107
00:08:20,042 --> 00:08:21,777
Are
you a homosexual?
108
00:08:21,811 --> 00:08:23,045
Sorry?
109
00:08:23,079 --> 00:08:24,146
Have you engaged
in homosexual acts
110
00:08:24,180 --> 00:08:26,716
or other forms of
sexual deviation?
111
00:08:27,717 --> 00:08:28,551
Oh gosh.
112
00:08:29,685 --> 00:08:31,454
That's a bit personal.
113
00:08:31,487 --> 00:08:33,456
Sir, if I judge you
to be a sexual pervert,
114
00:08:33,489 --> 00:08:34,757
I have the authority to bar you
115
00:08:34,790 --> 00:08:36,459
from the entry to
the United States.
116
00:08:36,492 --> 00:08:38,728
Now, are you a homosexual?
117
00:08:38,761 --> 00:08:40,563
No. No, absolutely not.
118
00:08:40,596 --> 00:08:42,031
Have you ever been
judged to be afflicted
119
00:08:42,064 --> 00:08:43,799
with a psychopathic personality,
120
00:08:43,833 --> 00:08:46,569
other mental
illness, or defects?
121
00:08:48,871 --> 00:08:49,939
Sir?
122
00:08:49,972 --> 00:08:50,806
No, no.
123
00:08:57,079 --> 00:08:58,147
Is this the fag singer?
124
00:08:58,180 --> 00:09:03,052
His manager
said he did the paperwork.
125
00:09:07,123 --> 00:09:09,859
Where in the name of all
that is fucking holy is he?
126
00:09:09,892 --> 00:09:12,028
- Tony will be here shortly.
- You said that two hours ago.
127
00:09:12,061 --> 00:09:14,030
- He'll be here.
- He's insulting you.
128
00:09:14,063 --> 00:09:16,799
Angie, David, Mick,
Tony, wonderful to see you.
129
00:09:16,832 --> 00:09:18,134
Tony, good of you
to make the time.
130
00:09:18,167 --> 00:09:19,535
Hope I didn't
keep you waiting.
131
00:09:19,568 --> 00:09:21,103
Oh, no, not at all.
132
00:09:23,940 --> 00:09:26,642
Thanks for putting up
with us, by the way.
133
00:09:26,676 --> 00:09:29,078
That's a beautiful scarf.
134
00:09:29,111 --> 00:09:31,614
The Man Who Sold the
World is out there.
135
00:09:31,647 --> 00:09:33,149
You know, guys, one
thing that I can say
136
00:09:33,182 --> 00:09:37,653
with complete certainty and
strike me dead if I'm wrong,
137
00:09:37,687 --> 00:09:40,156
this David Bowie
album is the one
138
00:09:40,189 --> 00:09:43,025
that will be judged
a masterpiece.
139
00:09:44,694 --> 00:09:46,095
A fucking masterpiece.
140
00:09:46,128 --> 00:09:48,764
- Thank you.
- By posterity.
141
00:09:48,798 --> 00:09:51,000
And what exactly
does that mean, Tony?
142
00:09:51,033 --> 00:09:52,868
Oh, he means that
future generations
143
00:09:52,902 --> 00:09:55,137
are going to look back on it
as a piece of seminal work.
144
00:09:55,171 --> 00:09:56,238
Yeah, I know.
145
00:09:56,272 --> 00:09:58,708
But what about the present?
146
00:09:59,909 --> 00:10:01,911
Oh, we need to talk
the album, right?
147
00:10:01,944 --> 00:10:03,245
we've gotta break America.
148
00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:06,215
As your manager, I
could not agree more.
149
00:10:06,248 --> 00:10:08,117
So I've been talking
to Mercury stateside.
150
00:10:08,150 --> 00:10:09,552
Excellent.
151
00:10:09,585 --> 00:10:11,587
They find the album,
how can I say this?
152
00:10:11,620 --> 00:10:13,689
They find it challenging.
153
00:10:15,024 --> 00:10:16,192
Well challenging is good.
154
00:10:16,225 --> 00:10:19,195
Often it is, but
also often, it isn't.
155
00:10:19,228 --> 00:10:21,630
Well they released All
the Madmen as a single.
156
00:10:21,664 --> 00:10:24,266
Mhm, to test the waters.
157
00:10:24,300 --> 00:10:25,134
And?
158
00:10:26,202 --> 00:10:27,937
Well, how's it doing?
159
00:10:34,276 --> 00:10:36,045
Fuckin' hell.
160
00:10:36,078 --> 00:10:39,215
You wind up merchant,
you absolute bastard.
161
00:10:39,248 --> 00:10:41,150
It's fucking charted, hasn't it?
162
00:10:41,183 --> 00:10:42,618
It sank.
163
00:10:42,651 --> 00:10:44,286
What?
164
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,156
They tested the waters
and it sunk, it's nowhere.
165
00:10:47,189 --> 00:10:48,591
At all?
166
00:10:48,624 --> 00:10:50,593
Too dark, too
weird for the Yanks.
167
00:10:50,626 --> 00:10:51,794
Didn't chart.
168
00:10:51,827 --> 00:10:54,964
Well, I mean,
that's only one song.
169
00:10:54,997 --> 00:10:56,899
Yeah, and it's the wrong song.
170
00:10:56,932 --> 00:10:58,601
We chose the wrong single.
171
00:10:58,634 --> 00:11:00,102
Maybe.
172
00:11:00,136 --> 00:11:02,204
They should be promoting
it and spending money.
173
00:11:02,238 --> 00:11:04,240
I talked to Lou
Reisner at Mercury.
174
00:11:04,273 --> 00:11:08,144
He said it's miserable,
depressing, obscure.
175
00:11:10,046 --> 00:11:11,881
His opinion, not mine.
176
00:11:13,282 --> 00:11:15,818
They want you to
be more like Bolan.
177
00:11:15,851 --> 00:11:17,820
Oh, for fuck's sake.
178
00:11:17,853 --> 00:11:18,988
David is David.
179
00:11:19,021 --> 00:11:21,257
Yeah, sure. But who is David?
180
00:11:21,290 --> 00:11:23,259
What does he stand for?
181
00:11:23,292 --> 00:11:25,795
People know what
Bolan stands for.
182
00:11:25,828 --> 00:11:27,763
Yeah, being a twat.
183
00:11:27,797 --> 00:11:29,665
Who are you, David?
184
00:11:29,698 --> 00:11:30,766
As an artist?
185
00:11:31,767 --> 00:11:33,302
A spaceman? A madman?
186
00:11:34,804 --> 00:11:36,005
A laughing dwarf?
187
00:11:36,038 --> 00:11:38,340
Gnome, it was
a laughing gnome.
188
00:11:38,374 --> 00:11:39,141
I don't know.
189
00:11:39,175 --> 00:11:41,777
The record company,
they don't know.
190
00:11:41,811 --> 00:11:42,778
Do you know?
191
00:11:46,248 --> 00:11:48,784
You said that posterity...
192
00:11:48,818 --> 00:11:52,288
Posterity, maybe one
day we'll figure you out.
193
00:11:52,321 --> 00:11:56,759
But in meantime, no one
else has the patience.
194
00:11:56,792 --> 00:11:59,328
Space Oddity was two years ago.
195
00:12:00,229 --> 00:12:01,030
Honestly?
196
00:12:02,998 --> 00:12:04,200
I'm doing everything that I can
197
00:12:04,233 --> 00:12:05,901
to stop Mercury
from dropping you.
198
00:12:08,237 --> 00:12:09,271
David, we're
going to wait outside.
199
00:12:09,305 --> 00:12:10,372
No, no, no!
200
00:12:12,308 --> 00:12:14,009
Now you listen to me
you fucking divot-
201
00:12:14,043 --> 00:12:15,378
- No, you listen.
202
00:12:15,412 --> 00:12:17,980
Memory of a Free
Festival, Prettiest Star,
203
00:12:18,013 --> 00:12:19,949
Love You Till
Tuesday, Rubber Band.
204
00:12:19,982 --> 00:12:22,184
Do I need to go on?
205
00:12:22,218 --> 00:12:24,320
12 singles, every
one a total failure
206
00:12:24,353 --> 00:12:27,756
except Space Oddity
and the Laughing Gnome.
207
00:12:27,790 --> 00:12:29,892
Now I believe in
David, I always have.
208
00:12:29,925 --> 00:12:31,360
You know that.
209
00:12:31,394 --> 00:12:33,796
But you have to face reality.
210
00:12:35,432 --> 00:12:37,366
There's only one guy at Mercury
211
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,302
who doesn't hate your new record
212
00:12:40,336 --> 00:12:41,804
with every bone in his body.
213
00:12:41,837 --> 00:12:43,839
Well there
must be...
214
00:12:43,873 --> 00:12:46,842
People don't want records
that make them think.
215
00:12:46,876 --> 00:12:50,312
Not about psychos
and mad houses.
216
00:12:50,346 --> 00:12:52,848
That's fucking bullshit.
217
00:12:52,882 --> 00:12:54,250
David is an artist.
218
00:12:54,283 --> 00:12:58,053
I need you to give me
something that I can sell,
219
00:12:58,087 --> 00:12:59,288
a Ride a White Swan.
220
00:12:59,321 --> 00:13:00,156
If you can't do that,
221
00:13:00,189 --> 00:13:03,893
I need to have a
person that I can sell.
222
00:13:05,027 --> 00:13:06,095
Who likes it?
223
00:13:06,128 --> 00:13:07,329
- What?
- In America.
224
00:13:07,363 --> 00:13:09,365
At the label, you
said there's on guy.
225
00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:10,833
I can work with him.
226
00:13:10,866 --> 00:13:12,101
No, David, it's
not going to work.
227
00:13:12,134 --> 00:13:13,869
- I'm sorry-
- I have to go to America.
228
00:13:13,903 --> 00:13:15,671
I need, look, I need,
229
00:13:17,072 --> 00:13:18,073
I need!
230
00:13:18,107 --> 00:13:19,308
- What?
- I need to be known.
231
00:13:19,341 --> 00:13:21,911
I need them to know me.
232
00:13:27,384 --> 00:13:29,318
I'll make some calls.
233
00:13:35,357 --> 00:13:38,027
- A total vote for us.
- Really?
234
00:13:38,060 --> 00:13:41,063
I have incredible
powers of persuasion.
235
00:13:41,096 --> 00:13:43,365
- What, America?
- Uh huh.
236
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:44,967
A solo tour.
237
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,137
I've just performed
a miracle, okay?
238
00:13:48,170 --> 00:13:51,740
They're gonna put their
best publicist on it.
239
00:13:51,774 --> 00:13:54,043
Don't look at me like that.
240
00:13:54,076 --> 00:13:56,045
I'm telling you,
they're gonna roll out
241
00:13:56,078 --> 00:13:59,281
that fucking red
carpet, American star.
242
00:14:03,953 --> 00:14:06,288
Welcome
to Washington Dulles
243
00:14:06,322 --> 00:14:10,393
International Airport.
244
00:14:23,172 --> 00:14:24,507
Right.
245
00:14:46,429 --> 00:14:47,229
Hello?
246
00:14:47,263 --> 00:14:48,130
Ah.
247
00:14:48,163 --> 00:14:50,199
Mr. Bowie, I presume.
248
00:14:50,232 --> 00:14:51,568
Hey, man. How are you?
249
00:14:51,601 --> 00:14:53,168
Ron Oberman, Mercury Records.
250
00:14:53,202 --> 00:14:54,437
Oh, pleasure to meet you.
251
00:14:54,471 --> 00:14:55,538
Yeah.
252
00:14:55,572 --> 00:14:56,473
What was the hold up in there?
253
00:14:56,506 --> 00:14:57,940
Immigration, or what happened?
254
00:14:57,973 --> 00:15:01,578
Oh, they didn't like
the look of my paperwork.
255
00:15:01,611 --> 00:15:02,945
Yeah. I bet they didn't.
256
00:15:02,978 --> 00:15:04,346
They said I
needed a work visa.
257
00:15:04,381 --> 00:15:06,081
Eh, paperwork, smaper-work.
258
00:15:06,115 --> 00:15:07,049
- Really?
- Yeah, sure.
259
00:15:07,082 --> 00:15:08,050
Oh, thank god.
260
00:15:08,083 --> 00:15:10,453
You want me to
get this for ya?
261
00:15:12,589 --> 00:15:14,391
Oh, god, holy crap.
262
00:15:15,392 --> 00:15:16,292
What's in here?
263
00:15:16,325 --> 00:15:19,061
It's just some of my things.
264
00:15:19,094 --> 00:15:19,995
I'm glad you're here, man.
265
00:15:20,029 --> 00:15:22,197
Hope that trip wasn't too bad.
266
00:15:22,231 --> 00:15:23,600
Oh, god.
267
00:15:23,633 --> 00:15:25,568
- What?
- I told you we should wait.
268
00:15:25,602 --> 00:15:29,171
All right, ma, you were
right, you were right.
269
00:15:29,204 --> 00:15:31,508
David Bowie, this is my mother.
270
00:15:31,541 --> 00:15:33,208
Mother, David Bowie.
271
00:15:34,577 --> 00:15:36,278
So nice to me.
272
00:15:36,312 --> 00:15:39,482
Real pleasure Mrs. Oberman.
273
00:15:39,516 --> 00:15:41,850
Give me your guitar.
274
00:15:46,389 --> 00:15:48,458
I hope
you're hungry, David.
275
00:15:48,491 --> 00:15:50,427
Oh, uh, thank
you Mrs. Oberman,
276
00:15:50,460 --> 00:15:52,995
but I'll eat something
when I get to the hotel.
277
00:15:53,028 --> 00:15:54,431
Oh man.
278
00:15:54,464 --> 00:15:57,500
Mom's been cooking up a
storm all day, in your honor.
279
00:15:57,534 --> 00:16:01,203
I made Ron's favorite,
kasha varnishkes.
280
00:16:01,236 --> 00:16:02,905
That's very kind of you, but-
281
00:16:02,938 --> 00:16:04,474
It's no trouble.
282
00:16:04,507 --> 00:16:08,611
It's not every day I get
to cook for a real star.
283
00:16:08,645 --> 00:16:10,513
I'm not quite a star
yet, Mrs. Oberman.
284
00:16:10,547 --> 00:16:12,181
Sure you are, man.
285
00:16:12,214 --> 00:16:15,552
But I wouldn't mind
Ron making me one.
286
00:16:17,986 --> 00:16:21,624
Ronnie played me your
song about the astronaut.
287
00:16:21,658 --> 00:16:23,560
Very nice melody.
288
00:16:23,593 --> 00:16:24,661
Thank you.
289
00:16:24,694 --> 00:16:27,597
So, are you a novelty artist?
290
00:16:27,630 --> 00:16:29,164
Space man and gnomes?
291
00:16:29,198 --> 00:16:30,933
Shut the fuck up.
292
00:16:30,966 --> 00:16:33,001
I hope that what
I do is novel.
293
00:16:33,035 --> 00:16:35,270
Is that you in the film clip?
294
00:16:35,304 --> 00:16:36,639
Spinning around in a space suit?
295
00:16:36,673 --> 00:16:38,441
Yes. Yes it was, actually.
296
00:16:38,475 --> 00:16:43,446
Well, I'm dying to know, what's
the first proper tour date?
297
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,615
- Well, we've uh-
- Tell him.
298
00:16:46,982 --> 00:16:48,917
We got a packed couple
weeks coming up, man.
299
00:16:48,951 --> 00:16:51,454
We're going to go to Chicago,
Philadelphia, New York,
300
00:16:51,488 --> 00:16:52,589
and then out to LA.
301
00:16:52,622 --> 00:16:54,424
What size is the venue?
302
00:16:55,525 --> 00:16:57,527
- Well, it's-
- Tell him.
303
00:17:00,597 --> 00:17:01,598
All right.
304
00:17:07,269 --> 00:17:09,606
You can't play any concerts.
305
00:17:10,473 --> 00:17:11,641
What?
306
00:17:11,674 --> 00:17:13,543
You don't have a
work visa, green card,
307
00:17:13,576 --> 00:17:15,645
and there's no musician's
union, the paperwork.
308
00:17:15,678 --> 00:17:18,648
Look, it's your people in
London's fault, not Mercury's.
309
00:17:18,681 --> 00:17:20,417
- But can't I just play-
- No you can't.
310
00:17:20,450 --> 00:17:21,584
You can't, you can't.
311
00:17:21,618 --> 00:17:23,285
It's just, you
can't play concerts,
312
00:17:23,318 --> 00:17:26,689
you can't perform on
radio or television.
313
00:17:26,723 --> 00:17:29,191
I mean that's why I'm here.
314
00:17:29,224 --> 00:17:32,261
I'm playing a promotional
tour of America.
315
00:17:32,294 --> 00:17:34,263
I know, I know.
316
00:17:34,296 --> 00:17:36,533
But it's just with the
paperwork you have,
317
00:17:36,566 --> 00:17:38,701
all you can do is talk.
318
00:17:40,603 --> 00:17:42,204
Talk?
319
00:17:42,237 --> 00:17:43,939
Yeah. Yeah, man.
320
00:17:44,674 --> 00:17:46,041
You're going to
have to talk America
321
00:17:46,074 --> 00:17:47,710
into believing
you're a big star.
322
00:17:47,744 --> 00:17:50,212
Yeah. I mean,
Oscar Wilde did it.
323
00:17:50,245 --> 00:17:51,481
Dickins did it.
324
00:17:51,514 --> 00:17:52,615
But I'm a musician.
325
00:17:52,649 --> 00:17:54,651
I know, man.
326
00:17:54,684 --> 00:17:57,119
It's not as bad as
it sounds. I promise.
327
00:17:57,152 --> 00:18:00,956
Will you have some
more varnishkes, David?
328
00:18:03,025 --> 00:18:05,260
Mrs. Oberman, Mr. Oberman.
329
00:18:05,294 --> 00:18:06,128
Michael.
330
00:18:09,399 --> 00:18:12,201
I should call my manager now.
331
00:18:12,234 --> 00:18:13,403
From my hotel.
332
00:18:15,538 --> 00:18:17,674
Yeah, uh, about the hotel.
333
00:18:19,442 --> 00:18:20,275
Um...
334
00:18:30,787 --> 00:18:34,491
Maybe things'll look
better in the morning.
335
00:18:34,524 --> 00:18:36,191
Probably not.
336
00:18:36,225 --> 00:18:37,393
Come on, man.
337
00:18:37,427 --> 00:18:40,597
Things never look
better in the morning.
338
00:19:07,222 --> 00:19:11,394
Tony said Mercury had
doubts about the record.
339
00:19:11,427 --> 00:19:12,495
Yeah, well.
340
00:19:12,529 --> 00:19:14,764
But that he
persuaded them to throw
341
00:19:14,797 --> 00:19:17,800
a lot of resources
behind the tour.
342
00:19:17,834 --> 00:19:22,104
Uh huh, well, managers say
a lot of things, don't they?
343
00:19:22,137 --> 00:19:25,542
Look, the label gave
me very little money.
344
00:19:25,575 --> 00:19:28,678
But I think we can make it work.
345
00:19:28,711 --> 00:19:33,115
Okay, I don't want
to appear ungrateful.
346
00:19:33,148 --> 00:19:34,651
Label's got doubts, you know?
347
00:19:34,684 --> 00:19:36,251
- That's all.
- Clearly.
348
00:19:36,285 --> 00:19:37,453
But I don't.
349
00:19:38,287 --> 00:19:39,389
You don't?
350
00:19:39,422 --> 00:19:40,690
No.
351
00:19:40,723 --> 00:19:41,491
I think you're going to be
352
00:19:41,524 --> 00:19:44,627
the biggest goddamn
star in America.
353
00:19:44,661 --> 00:19:45,461
Seriously, man.
354
00:19:45,495 --> 00:19:46,796
This is a great record.
355
00:19:46,829 --> 00:19:48,831
It's a great record.
356
00:19:48,865 --> 00:19:50,365
It's just, no one knows how
357
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,801
to sell you in
America, all right?
358
00:19:51,834 --> 00:19:53,836
They just don't care
enough, you know?
359
00:19:53,870 --> 00:19:55,170
And you do?
360
00:19:55,838 --> 00:19:57,740
Hell yeah, I do.
361

I mean, don't get me wrong,
362
00:19:59,842 --> 00:20:01,744
I'm a fucking minority of one
363
00:20:01,778 --> 00:20:04,881
but all it takes is one believer
to change the world, right?
364
00:20:04,914 --> 00:20:06,382
And we got two.
365
00:20:07,884 --> 00:20:08,718
Two?
366
00:20:10,420 --> 00:20:13,856
You believe in
yourself, don't you?
367
00:20:13,890 --> 00:20:17,393
Because if you don't,
we're really fucked.

That's how to write a song.

Yeah.
379
00:21:28,831 --> 00:21:31,467
We wore that out in
two weeks, remember?
380
00:21:31,501 --> 00:21:33,503
Had to buy another copy.
381
00:21:33,536 --> 00:21:34,804
Yeah.
382
00:21:46,516 --> 00:21:48,384
I'm doing all right.
383
00:21:48,418 --> 00:21:51,219
I live in a fucking
mansion, mate.
384
00:21:51,253 --> 00:21:55,425
Beat you to it.
385
00:21:55,458 --> 00:21:56,893
Come in for a cuppa.
386
00:21:59,294 --> 00:21:59,996
No, I can't.
387
00:22:00,029 --> 00:22:02,197
Come on, five minutes.
388
00:22:03,666 --> 00:22:06,436
I can't, Ter,
I've got to work.
389
00:22:08,738 --> 00:22:10,807
How is it? The work?
390
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,340
Yeah, it's fine.
391
00:22:16,979 --> 00:22:19,982
I know when something's
troubling my little brother.
392
00:22:20,016 --> 00:22:22,785
Well the uh, the new album.
393
00:22:22,819 --> 00:22:24,921
- The Man Who Sold the World.
- Yeah.
394
00:22:24,954 --> 00:22:27,857
It's uh, not
everyone's cup of tea.
395
00:22:29,659 --> 00:22:31,293
It's art.
396
00:22:31,326 --> 00:22:33,663
You don't want
everyone to like it.
397
00:22:33,696 --> 00:22:35,898
People hated the White Album.
398
00:22:37,867 --> 00:22:40,903
I'm going to tour America.
399
00:22:40,937 --> 00:22:43,506
This trip's going to
change everything.
400
00:22:43,539 --> 00:22:44,841
That's what people say.
401
00:22:44,874 --> 00:22:46,642
Yeah? Which people?
402
00:22:51,981 --> 00:22:54,617
I'm here for you, you know that?
403
00:22:57,386 --> 00:22:58,688
Thanks, Terry.
404
00:23:30,553 --> 00:23:32,922
- All set?
- Yes, thank you.
405
00:23:32,955 --> 00:23:35,024
Bye, mom, take it easy.
406
00:24:13,629 --> 00:24:16,399
Yeah, you know, all the good
ones are up front here, man.
407
00:24:16,432 --> 00:24:17,433
Oh, right.
408
00:24:18,701 --> 00:24:21,137
So I made some calls today.
409
00:24:21,170 --> 00:24:24,440
Worked the goddamn
phones a bit and uh,
410
00:24:24,473 --> 00:24:27,410
I think I got you some gigs.
411
00:24:27,443 --> 00:24:30,947
Oh, I thought the um,
the paperwork was...
412
00:24:30,980 --> 00:24:35,518
Yeah, well, I mean, these are
private parties mostly, but,
413
00:24:35,551 --> 00:24:40,089
you know, they'll be in front
of the right people, you know?
414
00:24:40,122 --> 00:24:42,091
It's not my fuck up, you know?
415
00:24:42,124 --> 00:24:43,693
I know.
416
00:24:43,726 --> 00:24:45,027
- You sure?
- Yep.
417
00:24:45,061 --> 00:24:46,095
Good.
418
00:24:47,029 --> 00:24:48,130
'Cause I'm going to get you
419
00:24:48,164 --> 00:24:50,733
the cover of Rolling Stone, man.
420
00:24:54,070 --> 00:24:55,972
The cover of Rolling Stone?
421
00:24:56,005 --> 00:24:57,106
Yeah.
422
00:24:57,139 --> 00:25:01,544
It'll be tough to land, but
if you do a good interview,
423
00:25:01,577 --> 00:25:04,513
get the cover, your
career is made.
424
00:25:05,448 --> 00:25:06,949
I mean, it's made.
425
00:25:08,951 --> 00:25:09,785
Yeah.
426
00:25:23,032 --> 00:25:25,001
Here hey are.
427
00:25:27,803 --> 00:25:29,005
Hi, thanks for having us.
428
00:25:29,038 --> 00:25:30,139
- Hi.
- Hi.
429
00:25:30,172 --> 00:25:31,674
Welcome.
430
00:25:31,707 --> 00:25:33,776
It's so nice to meet you.
431
00:25:34,677 --> 00:25:36,145
Ladies and gentlemen,
432
00:25:36,178 --> 00:25:37,580
all the way from London,
England to entertain you,

David Bowie.
434
00:25:44,820 --> 00:25:46,088
- Oh don't tell he's singing.
- Is that a guy or a chick?
435
00:25:46,122 --> 00:25:47,523
Guy's got
a fucking dress on.
436
00:25:47,556 --> 00:25:48,524
Check him out.
437
00:25:48,557 --> 00:25:50,993
Oh, fuck.
438
00:25:51,027 --> 00:25:55,698
He's wearing a dress.
439
00:25:55,731 --> 00:25:57,600
Uh, well hello everyone.
440
00:25:57,633 --> 00:25:59,468
It's great to be here.

00:26:01,103 --> 00:26:05,608

That wasn't how they
sold it to me, all right?
470
00:27:25,654 --> 00:27:29,191
And that PA was a fucking
travesty, you know?
471
00:27:31,861 --> 00:27:34,663
It was a room full of
vacuum cleaner salesmen.
472
00:27:34,697 --> 00:27:37,099
Yeah, and it really sucked.
473
00:27:38,367 --> 00:27:39,735
Good night, Ron.
474
00:27:39,769 --> 00:27:42,238
Oh, that wasn't a joke, man.
475
00:27:42,271 --> 00:27:43,105
Fuck.
476
00:28:29,018 --> 00:28:29,985
Hello?
477
00:28:30,019 --> 00:28:31,120
Hi, it's me.
478
00:28:31,153 --> 00:28:32,188
David?
479
00:28:32,221 --> 00:28:33,289
Is it going better?
480
00:28:33,322 --> 00:28:36,158
Well I'm performing illegally
for traveling salesmen
481
00:28:36,192 --> 00:28:38,828
who are um, well, they're
not my natural audience.
482
00:28:38,861 --> 00:28:40,062
What?
483
00:28:40,096 --> 00:28:42,364
Now you listen to me,
don't fuck this up.
484
00:28:42,399 --> 00:28:44,166
You can't come home
until you make it.
485
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,935
And this publicist,
Ron, I think he's,
486
00:28:45,968 --> 00:28:47,736
I think he's a total fantasist.
487
00:28:47,770 --> 00:28:48,804
We can fire him.
488
00:28:48,838 --> 00:28:50,339
- I can't fire him.
- David.
489
00:28:50,372 --> 00:28:52,341
This is not just your
career on the line,
490
00:28:52,374 --> 00:28:54,276
it's my career as well.
491
00:28:54,310 --> 00:28:56,345
I'll go see your
so-called manager,
492
00:28:56,379 --> 00:29:00,049
and we will, yeah,
get rid of that clown.
493
00:29:00,082 --> 00:29:00,983
You don't need him.
494
00:29:01,016 --> 00:29:02,251
No, Ang, don't do that.
495
00:29:02,284 --> 00:29:03,953
Why? You just said
that he was useless.
496
00:29:03,986 --> 00:29:05,988
Well let's just give him
another chance, all right?
497
00:29:06,021 --> 00:29:07,056
But you need the best.
498
00:29:07,089 --> 00:29:08,624
Angie, please.
499
00:29:09,291 --> 00:29:10,092
Angie.
500
00:29:10,126 --> 00:29:10,926
Hello?
501
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,294
David?
502
00:29:13,396 --> 00:29:14,763
Hello?
503
00:29:14,797 --> 00:29:15,865
Oh, for fuck's sake.
504
00:29:15,898 --> 00:29:17,166
Fuck.

506
00:29:25,741 --> 00:29:29,745
a People's Peace Treaty
with the North Vietnamese.
507
00:29:31,414 --> 00:29:34,750
By now, 3000 hardcore
radicals were all
508
00:29:34,783 --> 00:29:37,153
that was left of a
mayday tribe that had
509
00:29:37,186 --> 00:29:40,322
numbered nearly 45,000
five days before.
510
00:30:43,819 --> 00:30:46,088
I tried telling her.
511
00:30:46,121 --> 00:30:46,922
Mum.
512
00:30:48,458 --> 00:30:50,159
She threw me out.
513
00:30:50,192 --> 00:30:50,993
Why?
514
00:30:52,828 --> 00:30:54,397
Said I was drunk.
515
00:30:54,431 --> 00:30:55,498
No, I wasn't.
516
00:31:07,910 --> 00:31:10,145
Tell David what happened.
517
00:31:12,915 --> 00:31:14,517
What's going on Angie?
518
00:31:14,551 --> 00:31:17,052
I swear it was fucking real,

00:31:18,220 --> 00:31:19,121

He was my educator
in matters of taste.

A sailor?
541
00:32:48,478 --> 00:32:49,479
Yeah.
542
00:32:50,946 --> 00:32:53,182
Postcards arrive every now
and then from Madagascar
543
00:32:53,215 --> 00:32:55,351
or Shanghai or old Bombay.
544
00:32:56,919 --> 00:32:58,621
It's terribly exotic.
545
00:32:59,689 --> 00:33:01,624
Terry's drawn to
dives and fleshpots,
546
00:33:01,658 --> 00:33:04,193
the world's dark places.
547
00:33:04,226 --> 00:33:06,496
Sounds like quite a character.
548
00:33:06,529 --> 00:33:09,632
Oh yeah, I think I'm
just his shadow, really.
549
00:33:09,666 --> 00:33:14,870
♪ Shake a hand, shake a hand ♪
♪ Shake a hand, shake a hand ♪
550
00:33:24,980 --> 00:33:26,181
Yeah, look, I get it Jimmy.
551
00:33:26,215 --> 00:33:27,684
Okay, my hand's up, all right?
552
00:33:27,717 --> 00:33:29,084
Hands up.
553
00:33:29,118 --> 00:33:30,553
Maybe I've oversold some
artists in the past,
554
00:33:30,587 --> 00:33:33,322
but that is not the case
on this occasion, man.
555
00:33:33,355 --> 00:33:34,156
I'm serious.
556
00:33:34,189 --> 00:33:36,024
And this guy-
557
00:33:36,058 --> 00:33:37,025
Jimmy.
558
00:33:37,059 --> 00:33:38,495
Jimmy.
559
00:33:38,528 --> 00:33:39,328
Don't hang up on me, Ji-
560
00:33:39,361 --> 00:33:40,430
Oh, you fuck.
561
00:33:51,608 --> 00:33:53,643
Hey, hey Richie.
562
00:33:53,676 --> 00:33:54,910
It's Ron.
563
00:33:55,678 --> 00:33:58,481
No, different Ron. Oberman.
564
00:33:58,515 --> 00:34:00,517
Mercury Records?
565
00:34:00,550 --> 00:34:01,684
What's happening, man?
566
00:34:01,718 --> 00:34:03,118
Did you get a chance
to peep that LP
567
00:34:03,152 --> 00:34:05,287
I sent you to spin over there?
568
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:06,556
Yeah, okay.
569
00:34:06,589 --> 00:34:09,358
Well just give it
a spin, okay, man.
570
00:34:09,392 --> 00:34:11,226
Bowie, like the knife.
571
00:34:12,629 --> 00:34:15,230
Okay, all right. Thanks, man.
572
00:34:19,602 --> 00:34:21,471
Any news on Rolling Stone?
573
00:34:21,504 --> 00:34:23,305
I'm working on it.
574
00:34:23,338 --> 00:34:26,743
That John Mickelson, he's
like a slippery fucker.
575
00:34:26,776 --> 00:34:29,178
He it's hard to pin down, man.
576
00:34:29,211 --> 00:34:30,212
Perhaps...
577
00:34:31,781 --> 00:34:36,419
I mean, you know, you
know best of course, but,
578
00:34:36,453 --> 00:34:37,654
perhaps there's a different way
579
00:34:37,687 --> 00:34:41,356
to talk about me when
you're on the phone.
580
00:34:41,391 --> 00:34:42,559
Okay.
581
00:34:42,592 --> 00:34:45,060
I mean maybe, maybe
more people would
582
00:34:45,093 --> 00:34:49,432
want to meet me if you
told them that I was
583
00:34:49,466 --> 00:34:52,769
a unique artist, say,
who could fill the gap
584
00:34:52,802 --> 00:34:55,003
between Elvis and Dylan.
585
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:58,073
Hm.
586
00:35:01,711 --> 00:35:03,045
Elvis and Dylan?
587
00:35:04,179 --> 00:35:07,484
Gap. So, who do we got in there?
588
00:35:07,517 --> 00:35:12,388
Neil Young, James Taylor,
Marvin Gaye, Leonard Cohen,
589
00:35:12,422 --> 00:35:16,124
the Ohio Players, the Doors,
the Velvets, Credence,
590
00:35:16,158 --> 00:35:20,229
Johnny Cash, uh, Janis
Joplin, Joni Mitchell,
591
00:35:20,262 --> 00:35:23,600
every artist on
the Motown label.
592
00:35:23,633 --> 00:35:25,334
I mean a unique
British artist.
593
00:35:25,367 --> 00:35:26,569
Right, unique British artists.
594
00:35:26,603 --> 00:35:28,771
There aren't too many
of those other than
595
00:35:28,805 --> 00:35:32,475
Led Zep, Pink Floyd,
Deep Purple, Yes.
596
00:35:32,509 --> 00:35:33,576
Yep.
597
00:35:33,610 --> 00:35:34,777
Pretty Things.
598
00:35:34,811 --> 00:35:36,613
Faces.
599
00:35:36,646 --> 00:35:37,714
Rolling Stones.
600
00:35:38,748 --> 00:35:40,015
Rolling Stones.
601
00:35:41,784 --> 00:35:46,088
And then you got bands
like the Animals, Cream,
602
00:35:46,121 --> 00:35:48,691
the Pretty Things, Faces.
603
00:35:48,725 --> 00:35:50,393
Did I say Stones?
604
00:35:50,426 --> 00:35:52,729
Yeah
Ron, you did, yeah.
605
00:35:52,762 --> 00:35:53,730
Um, the Who.
606
00:35:53,763 --> 00:35:55,698
Uh, Mark Bolan, T. Rex.
607
00:35:56,866 --> 00:35:58,501
Those guys are your
buddies, right?
608
00:35:58,535 --> 00:35:59,702
Mhm.
609
00:36:20,690 --> 00:36:22,425
Hi sir,
how can I help you?
610
00:36:22,458 --> 00:36:26,496
Hey, uh, I'm looking
for a Tom Classon?
611
00:36:26,529 --> 00:36:27,362
Oh.
612
00:36:29,732 --> 00:36:31,634
Just wait one minute.
613
00:36:31,668 --> 00:36:34,136
How can I help you?
614
00:36:34,169 --> 00:36:35,638
Jesus Christ, Tom.
615
00:36:35,672 --> 00:36:37,774
I've been calling for weeks,
looking all over for you.
616
00:36:37,807 --> 00:36:38,708
Did you get that album?
617
00:36:38,741 --> 00:36:40,443
The David Bowie album?
Did you listen to it?
618
00:36:40,476 --> 00:36:41,644
- Yeah, yeah.
- Great.
619
00:36:41,678 --> 00:36:42,645
I listened to it, Ron.
620
00:36:42,679 --> 00:36:43,680
Great.
621
00:36:43,713 --> 00:36:44,814
When can I get you
two to sit down
622
00:36:44,847 --> 00:36:46,449
for an interview together?
623
00:36:46,482 --> 00:36:48,851
Look I'm, listen, I'm
really busy, right now so-
624
00:36:48,885 --> 00:36:51,754
- No, no, no, you listen,
okay, and listen good, okay?
625
00:36:51,788 --> 00:36:53,288
You don't want to
miss out on this, man.
626
00:36:53,322 --> 00:36:54,824
I mean, this guy's
going to be big.
627
00:36:54,857 --> 00:36:56,526
Oh yeah. How big is big?
628
00:36:56,559 --> 00:36:57,827
Big.
629
00:36:57,860 --> 00:36:59,762
What? Like Jerry Reed
big or Todd Rundgren big?
630
00:36:59,796 --> 00:37:01,296
- Or what are we?
- No.
631
00:37:01,330 --> 00:37:03,365
- I'm talking like Dylan big.
- Fuck you, Ron.
632
00:37:03,399 --> 00:37:04,601
I'm serious.
633
00:37:04,634 --> 00:37:05,835
This guy is like the
English Bob Dylan
634
00:37:05,868 --> 00:37:07,904
with avant garde outrage
all wrapped together.
635
00:37:07,937 --> 00:37:10,506
What, are you reading this
off the fucking press release?
636
00:37:10,540 --> 00:37:11,708
All right.
637
00:37:11,741 --> 00:37:13,843
All right Tom,
come on, hey, hey.
638
00:37:13,876 --> 00:37:15,845
Don't insult my intelligence.
639
00:37:15,878 --> 00:37:17,647
I know a boring British
import when I see one.
640
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:18,915
Oh, he is not boring.
641
00:37:18,948 --> 00:37:20,917
Oh, why, 'cause
he's wearing a dress?
642
00:37:20,950 --> 00:37:23,419
I've had it with these face,
self-indulgent dandies.
643
00:37:23,453 --> 00:37:25,655
I mean, why are you wasting
my time with this guy?
644
00:37:25,688 --> 00:37:28,691
Space Oddity, fine, but the
stuff you're sending me now?
645
00:37:28,725 --> 00:37:30,393
Totally off to boil.
646
00:37:31,661 --> 00:37:33,830
Seriously, as a
friend, you know,
647
00:37:33,863 --> 00:37:35,798
why are you still
doing this job?
648
00:37:35,832 --> 00:37:37,265
Who the fuck knows Tom?
649
00:37:37,299 --> 00:37:38,735
All right, they got
him a plane ticket,
650
00:37:38,768 --> 00:37:40,436
and they gave him
my phone number.
651
00:37:40,470 --> 00:37:41,871
What, am I gonna leave him
at the fucking airport?
652
00:37:41,904 --> 00:37:44,774
Okay fine. I'll meet the guy.
653
00:37:44,807 --> 00:37:45,608
Great.
654
00:37:45,642 --> 00:37:47,777
So, you know, a nice
one to watch piece
655
00:37:47,810 --> 00:37:49,211
would be good,
something like that.
656
00:37:49,244 --> 00:37:50,513
Why don't you let
me decide that, okay?
657
00:37:50,546 --> 00:37:51,948
You just make sure
the coffee's fresh.
658
00:37:51,981 --> 00:37:53,816
Right. Fresh coffee.
659
00:37:54,951 --> 00:37:56,318
Good. Yes.
660
00:37:56,351 --> 00:37:57,687
- Hey, Ron?
- What?
661
00:37:57,720 --> 00:37:59,455
You better be
right about this guy.
662
00:37:59,489 --> 00:38:00,288
Okay.
663
00:38:00,990 --> 00:38:02,925
Just talk about the music, okay?
664
00:38:02,959 --> 00:38:04,894
Just talk about the
songs, all right?
665
00:38:04,927 --> 00:38:07,830
The inspiration, where
they come from, okay?
666
00:38:07,864 --> 00:38:10,600
They're great songs and
they have powerful lyrics
667
00:38:10,633 --> 00:38:11,868
and that's what we
want 'em to take away.
668
00:38:11,901 --> 00:38:13,469
Is it?
669
00:38:13,503 --> 00:38:14,904
Damn right is it.
670
00:38:24,547 --> 00:38:25,815
Tom Classon.
671
00:38:25,848 --> 00:38:28,283
Enchanted.
672
00:38:28,316 --> 00:38:28,951
Ron.
673
00:38:33,589 --> 00:38:37,960
So , when I
first heard Space Oddity,
674
00:38:37,994 --> 00:38:39,962
it just blew me away.
675
00:38:39,996 --> 00:38:43,265
The atmosphere you created
was just mind boggling.
676
00:38:43,298 --> 00:38:44,967
Oh, thank you.
677
00:38:45,001 --> 00:38:46,135
Thanks.
678
00:38:46,169 --> 00:38:48,971
That's why I was shocked
to see on the new album that,
679
00:38:49,005 --> 00:38:51,474
I mean, Space Oddity,
it's so literal
680
00:38:51,507 --> 00:38:53,843
and this one is way darker.
681
00:38:53,876 --> 00:38:56,278
So tell me, what is that about?
682
00:38:56,311 --> 00:38:57,880
Oh, drugs really.
683
00:38:59,716 --> 00:39:00,483
Drugs.
684
00:39:01,417 --> 00:39:05,253
I mean, I think um, this
is probably the most
685
00:39:05,287 --> 00:39:09,826
drug oriented album I've
ever made, actually.
686
00:39:09,859 --> 00:39:14,430
I mean the lyrics, they
don't reference drugs at all.
687
00:39:14,464 --> 00:39:18,701
See, my take was that
it's about insanity.
688
00:39:20,069 --> 00:39:21,904
Well, you know,
strong hash can really
689
00:39:21,938 --> 00:39:23,940
mess with your gourd.
690
00:39:23,973 --> 00:39:27,543
The first time I got high, I
just got intensely fascinated
691
00:39:27,577 --> 00:39:29,946
by the cracks in the pavement.
692
00:39:29,979 --> 00:39:31,714
Talk to
me about the mask.
693
00:39:31,748 --> 00:39:34,617
I mean is this, is
this part of your show?
694
00:39:36,018 --> 00:39:39,021
Sometimes.
695
00:39:39,055 --> 00:39:42,525
It's just the way of concentrating
an audience's attention,
696
00:39:42,558 --> 00:39:46,896
like um, a Japanese form of
movement, like kabuki theater.
697
00:39:46,929 --> 00:39:49,766
I think he wants
to talk about the record.
698
00:39:49,799 --> 00:39:50,800
Right.
699
00:39:50,833 --> 00:39:52,034
Right.
700
00:39:52,068 --> 00:39:54,570
Uh, the lyrics on
the title track
701
00:39:54,604 --> 00:39:57,940
The Man Who Sold the World
really stood out for me.
702
00:39:57,974 --> 00:39:59,341
"Yesterday upon the stair,
703
00:39:59,374 --> 00:40:01,978
"I met a man who wasn't there.
704
00:40:02,011 --> 00:40:04,413
"He wasn't there again today.
705
00:40:04,447 --> 00:40:06,616
"How I wish he'd go away."
706
00:40:09,018 --> 00:40:11,387
Sounds a little bit nutty.
707
00:40:15,491 --> 00:40:17,493
Oh, it's all just
theater really, isn't it?
708
00:40:17,527 --> 00:40:22,532
It's um, you know, I originally
trained as a mime artist.
709
00:40:22,932 --> 00:40:24,400
Really?
710
00:40:24,867 --> 00:40:26,969
And what do the audiences
in England think of that?
711
00:40:27,003 --> 00:40:30,338
Well I, uh,
712
00:40:30,372 --> 00:40:33,643
I like to surprise,
create a different
713
00:40:33,676 --> 00:40:35,111
dimension to a performance.
714
00:40:35,144 --> 00:40:37,380
Oh, we just love
mime here in America.
715
00:40:37,413 --> 00:40:40,616
- Oh really?
- Yeah, it's, it is huge.
716
00:40:40,650 --> 00:40:41,818
Oh.
717
00:40:41,851 --> 00:40:42,785
Would you mind?
718
00:40:42,819 --> 00:40:43,986
Yes.
719
00:40:44,020 --> 00:40:44,821
Yeah, of course.
720
00:40:44,854 --> 00:40:46,389
Uh. No, no.
721
00:40:47,723 --> 00:40:48,524
Right.
722
00:41:09,745 --> 00:41:13,416
Well, David, this has
this, this,
723
00:41:13,449 --> 00:41:16,686
this really has been,
this has been a pleasure.
724
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:17,887
It sure has.
725
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,989
Um.
726
00:41:20,022 --> 00:41:24,427
I'll tell you what, you sure
do know how to pick 'em.
727
00:41:57,727 --> 00:41:58,694
You ready?
728
00:42:00,529 --> 00:42:01,697
You feel good?
729
00:42:02,832 --> 00:42:04,166
All right, so look,
it's not packed,
730
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:08,471
but that's because we didn't
make it official, you know.
731
00:42:08,504 --> 00:42:09,906
I gotta be honest, though,
732
00:42:09,939 --> 00:42:13,409
it's always a pretty
cool crowd at this place.
733
00:42:14,944 --> 00:42:15,778

There's a music journalist
I want you to talk to.
770
00:43:45,668 --> 00:43:46,769
David, this is Jeanie.
771
00:43:46,802 --> 00:43:49,138
She writes for Skyline Magazine.
772
00:43:49,171 --> 00:43:51,874
- Enchanted.
- Oh, I loved your set.
773
00:43:51,907 --> 00:43:54,977
And uh, Ron here was telling
me about your single.
774
00:43:55,011 --> 00:43:56,812
- All the-
- Madmen.
775
00:43:56,846 --> 00:43:57,447
Right.
776
00:43:59,115 --> 00:44:01,517
So, are you one of the madmen?
777
00:44:03,319 --> 00:44:04,120
Jeanie's
writing a little piece
778
00:44:04,153 --> 00:44:05,588
for tomorrow's Skyline.
779
00:44:05,621 --> 00:44:07,556
Maybe you guys can
sit down and talk
780
00:44:07,590 --> 00:44:09,592
for a few minutes if
that's possible...
781
00:44:09,625 --> 00:44:11,594
Wanna come do
some coke with me?
782
00:44:11,627 --> 00:44:12,862
Do I ever.
783
00:44:12,895 --> 00:44:13,729
David.
784
00:44:14,697 --> 00:44:15,598
Can we?
785
00:44:15,631 --> 00:44:17,833
Please excuse me, Jeanie, Ron.
786
00:44:17,867 --> 00:44:19,235
Be back in a jiffy.
787
00:44:20,903 --> 00:44:21,737
David!
788
00:44:22,872 --> 00:44:24,774
Hey, man, where are ya?
789
00:44:24,807 --> 00:44:25,641
David.
790
00:44:30,813 --> 00:44:33,315
Where the fuck are you, man?
791
00:44:33,349 --> 00:44:34,617
Hello?
792
00:44:34,650 --> 00:44:35,651
David?
793
00:44:35,684 --> 00:44:36,919
David, where the-
794
00:44:36,952 --> 00:44:40,256
Oh.
795
00:44:40,289 --> 00:44:41,290
Okay.
796
00:44:41,323 --> 00:44:42,892
All right.
797
00:44:52,168 --> 00:44:53,002
Keep it.
798
00:45:29,305 --> 00:45:31,373
Okay, this is KKBH.
799
00:45:31,408 --> 00:45:33,142
Goes out to about
eight million listeners
800
00:45:33,175 --> 00:45:34,743
across the Midwest.
801
00:45:34,777 --> 00:45:39,014
It's a clean, wholesome,
family rock station, all right?
802
00:45:39,048 --> 00:45:40,417
So keep it safe.
803
00:45:40,450 --> 00:45:42,184
Safe.
804
00:45:42,218 --> 00:45:43,252
All right then.
805
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,929
Have we got a
treat for you today.
806
00:45:53,963 --> 00:45:58,033
A very charming young man, all
the way from London, England,
807
00:45:58,067 --> 00:46:00,403
here with his new
album, David Bowie.
808
00:46:00,437 --> 00:46:02,071
Welcome, sir.
809
00:46:02,104 --> 00:46:03,806
Now, uh, we're going
to hear a cut from
810
00:46:03,839 --> 00:46:05,274
your new album in just a minute,
811
00:46:05,307 --> 00:46:08,744
but I wanted to ask you
about your influences.
812
00:46:08,777 --> 00:46:12,181
What music really excites
you back in London?
813
00:46:12,214 --> 00:46:17,219
Oh, well my uh, my tastes
are pretty eclectic, really.
814
00:46:18,087 --> 00:46:20,222
Biff Rose, Ron Davies, um,
815
00:46:20,256 --> 00:46:22,124
I've had the new
Velvet's LP on nonstop.
816
00:46:22,158 --> 00:46:23,225
Yeah, that's
wonderful, wonderful.
817
00:46:23,259 --> 00:46:26,729
So would you say you're a
rock and roll guy at heart?
818
00:46:26,762 --> 00:46:27,397
Oh, no.
819
00:46:29,031 --> 00:46:30,833
I'm not into rock at all
really, I just use it.
820
00:46:30,866 --> 00:46:34,803
Honestly, I, I think that
rock is the devil's music.
821
00:46:34,837 --> 00:46:39,141
Let's in all kinds of lower
elements and shadows, you know?
822
00:46:39,175 --> 00:46:44,180
Well uh, tell me, tell me
about the uh, the new album.
823
00:46:44,914 --> 00:46:45,981
What's it all about?
824
00:46:46,882 --> 00:46:49,151
Oh, the new album.
825
00:46:49,185 --> 00:46:52,755
It's about a particular
chapter in my life.
826
00:46:55,625 --> 00:46:59,061
It's about the years I spent
dressing in women's clothes
827
00:46:59,094 --> 00:47:01,997
and getting laid good
and hard.
828
00:47:03,466 --> 00:47:06,168
Uh well, apologies
to listeners
829
00:47:06,202 --> 00:47:08,471
of a sensitive disposition.
830
00:47:09,539 --> 00:47:11,140
Um, here is uh...
831
00:47:13,809 --> 00:47:15,945
Here's another
Brit making waves.
832
00:47:15,978 --> 00:47:17,414
Fuck.
833
00:47:17,447 --> 00:47:21,083
It's T.
Rex with Ride A White Swan.
834
00:47:26,055 --> 00:47:27,424
Clean? Wholesome?
835
00:47:31,894 --> 00:47:33,095
Shark tactics, Ron.
836
00:47:33,128 --> 00:47:35,064
You've got to stretch
people, get a reaction.
837
00:47:35,097 --> 00:47:36,499
Oh, you got a reaction.
838
00:47:36,533 --> 00:47:37,933
You got a reaction.
839
00:47:37,967 --> 00:47:38,535
That guy's never going
to have another one
840
00:47:38,568 --> 00:47:40,470
of my artists on, ever.
841
00:47:41,870 --> 00:47:43,406
I mean, they may dig
that shit in London,
842
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,007
but it's different here, man.
843
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:46,476
This is America.
844
00:47:46,509 --> 00:47:49,912
You can't just talk dirty
on American airwaves.
845
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,383
Yeah, right, well, I'm sorry.
846
00:47:55,452 --> 00:47:56,486
Yeah.
847
00:47:57,953 --> 00:47:58,787
I bet.
848
00:48:13,902 --> 00:48:15,405
Where are we?
849
00:48:15,438 --> 00:48:17,440
I don't know, man.
850
00:48:17,474 --> 00:48:20,543
Rise and shine, I guess.
We're somewhere in Ohio.
851
00:48:20,577 --> 00:48:21,944
Could have used a navigator.
852
00:48:21,977 --> 00:48:25,047
You know how to read
a map, don't ya?
853
00:48:29,619 --> 00:48:30,919
Hey, what the fuck is hap-
854
00:48:30,953 --> 00:48:32,522
Hey, that's my shit.
855
00:48:32,555 --> 00:48:33,456
Goddammit.
856
00:48:33,490 --> 00:48:34,524
Goddammit.
857
00:48:51,541 --> 00:48:52,575
Fuck, man.
858
00:48:54,043 --> 00:48:55,445
Oh, gosh.
859
00:49:04,086 --> 00:49:05,020
Oh, dear.
860
00:49:05,054 --> 00:49:06,288
Oh, I am sorry.
861
00:49:10,292 --> 00:49:11,394
Fuck.
862
00:49:20,269 --> 00:49:23,238
Oh, I'm, I do hope that
wasn't anything important.
863
00:49:23,272 --> 00:49:24,474
Yeah.
864
00:49:24,507 --> 00:49:26,275
It's my divorce papers,
the deed to my house.
865
00:49:26,308 --> 00:49:27,610
My whole fucking
life, that's all.
866
00:49:27,644 --> 00:49:29,244
Oh dear, I am sorry.
867
00:49:29,278 --> 00:49:30,380
Oh yeah, I can see that.
868
00:49:34,451 --> 00:49:36,486
You know this whole
English nice thing
869
00:49:36,519 --> 00:49:37,620
doesn't work on me, all right?
870
00:49:37,654 --> 00:49:40,322
The whole fluttering lashes
ingenue routine, all right,
871
00:49:40,356 --> 00:49:41,524
and the little accent.
872
00:49:43,526 --> 00:49:45,260
You think this is funny?
873
00:49:45,294 --> 00:49:46,261
You think I want
to be driving you
874
00:49:46,295 --> 00:49:48,498
across this fucking
country, working my ass off,
875
00:49:48,531 --> 00:49:51,033
getting you on radio, getting
you to meet the right people,
876
00:49:51,066 --> 00:49:52,469
just so you can fuck it all up?
877
00:49:52,502 --> 00:49:54,303
Oh, that's really
not fair, you know?
878
00:49:54,336 --> 00:49:55,304
Sure it is.
879
00:49:55,337 --> 00:49:56,539
It is.
880
00:49:56,573 --> 00:49:58,608
Hey, I came here
to be a fucking star
881
00:49:58,641 --> 00:50:00,209
and now I'm playing
little parties
882
00:50:00,242 --> 00:50:03,946
and, you know,
worthless radio stations
883
00:50:03,979 --> 00:50:06,616
talking to absolutely
pointless journalists.
884
00:50:06,649 --> 00:50:08,551
I mean, you haven't gotten
me a single interview
885
00:50:08,585 --> 00:50:09,952
with anyone who matters.
886
00:50:09,985 --> 00:50:11,588
You can't get me
into Rolling Stone.
887
00:50:11,621 --> 00:50:12,489
It's delusional.
888
00:50:12,522 --> 00:50:15,224
This, this whole tour
is a total failure.
889
00:50:15,257 --> 00:50:18,628
I feel like I'm a
carnival sideshow
890
00:50:18,661 --> 00:50:19,596
without the actual carnival.
891
00:50:19,629 --> 00:50:21,029
Oh yeah?
892
00:50:21,063 --> 00:50:22,297
Well maybe you should
rethink the fucking
893
00:50:22,331 --> 00:50:23,966
dresses you wear all
the time, you know?
894
00:50:23,999 --> 00:50:26,368
You want to know what's
wrong with this world tour?
895
00:50:26,403 --> 00:50:28,303
You wanna know why
it's not working?
896
00:50:28,337 --> 00:50:32,509
I'll show you. I'll show
you why it's not working.
897
00:50:37,514 --> 00:50:39,982
Look, you're in
America to promote
898
00:50:40,015 --> 00:50:42,117
a single called All the Madmen,
899
00:50:42,151 --> 00:50:46,255
and it's on an album where
every track is about madness.
900
00:50:46,288 --> 00:50:48,491
There's an asylum on
the fucking sleeve,
901
00:50:48,525 --> 00:50:50,225
but do you want to talk
about interesting shit?
902
00:50:50,259 --> 00:50:51,561
No.
903
00:50:51,594 --> 00:50:53,630
And if anyone dares to ask
you about your actual work,
904
00:50:53,663 --> 00:50:56,433
you just, you know, turn
into Coco the fucking clown
905
00:50:56,466 --> 00:50:58,701
and do the mystical mime act.
906
00:50:58,735 --> 00:51:00,002
And you know what's
fucked up, man?
907
00:51:00,035 --> 00:51:01,036
You know what's fucked up?
908
00:51:01,069 --> 00:51:02,539
Is I liked you, all right?
909
00:51:02,572 --> 00:51:04,541
I liked you, but you,
you turn out to be
910
00:51:04,574 --> 00:51:06,375
just like all the others, man.
911
00:51:06,409 --> 00:51:07,710
What other ones?
912
00:51:07,744 --> 00:51:10,613
You're all pussies, you
fucking artists, you know?
913
00:51:10,647 --> 00:51:12,415
You're like, oh Ron,
we love you, Ron,
914
00:51:12,449 --> 00:51:14,384
thanks Ron, great job, Ron.
915
00:51:14,417 --> 00:51:15,585
You know, meanwhile
you're on the phone
916
00:51:15,618 --> 00:51:18,153
crying like a baby
the fucking label.
917
00:51:18,187 --> 00:51:20,723
It's Ron's fuck up.
Ron fucked it all up.
918
00:51:20,757 --> 00:51:22,224
I didn't, I didn't do that.
919
00:51:22,257 --> 00:51:25,127
You sent your wife
to fire me, David.
920
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:26,094
A week ago.
921
00:51:27,630 --> 00:51:30,600
I mean just say it
to my face, man.
922
00:51:30,633 --> 00:51:31,734
You don't want to work with me.
923
00:51:31,768 --> 00:51:33,335
I do.
924
00:51:33,368 --> 00:51:34,637
Hey, I do.
925
00:51:34,671 --> 00:51:36,406
I do want to work with you.
926
00:51:36,439 --> 00:51:37,640
You know what?
927
00:51:37,674 --> 00:51:38,441
We have something
else in common.
928
00:51:38,475 --> 00:51:40,443
I forgot to tell
you this, but we do.
929
00:51:40,477 --> 00:51:42,311
I also studied mime.
930
00:51:42,344 --> 00:51:44,747
Watch, you ready? You watching?
931
00:52:36,666 --> 00:52:38,768
Ma'am, I have a collect
call from Randolph, Ohio.
932
00:52:38,801 --> 00:52:40,770
Will you accept the charges?
933
00:52:40,803 --> 00:52:44,574
Of course I'll
accept the charges.
934
00:52:45,808 --> 00:52:46,709
- David?
- Hi.
935
00:52:47,877 --> 00:52:50,312
Oh good, you're not dead.
936
00:52:52,214 --> 00:52:55,485
Are you calling for a
bit of a pep talk then?
937
00:52:55,518 --> 00:52:57,319
Yeah, listen, Angie,
938
00:52:58,721 --> 00:53:01,558
I did ask you not to say
anything about Ron, you know?
939
00:53:01,591 --> 00:53:04,527
He's um, he's a bit upset.
940
00:53:04,561 --> 00:53:09,566
You know, he thinks I tried
to fire him.
941
00:53:10,633 --> 00:53:11,834
I've done something
wrong, have I?
942
00:53:11,868 --> 00:53:13,368
- Uh well-
- Well that's fucking great.
943
00:53:13,403 --> 00:53:16,104
You navel gazing
fucking selfish bastard.
944
00:53:16,138 --> 00:53:17,407
Wait, no, no, no, listen-
945
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:18,608
- Yeah, listen.
946
00:53:18,641 --> 00:53:21,310
You know what I would
like to listen to?
947
00:53:21,343 --> 00:53:25,347
I'd like for you to ask
me one fucking question,
948
00:53:26,649 --> 00:53:29,686
just one, about how your
fucking wife is doing.
949
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,254
Oh, Ang, how are you doing?
950
00:53:32,287 --> 00:53:34,724
And I'd say, oh you know,
951
00:53:34,757 --> 00:53:37,794
I'm actually not
doing so fucking well.
952
00:53:39,829 --> 00:53:43,231
Ang, I've been thinking
about you all the time.
953
00:53:43,265 --> 00:53:45,802
- It's-
- Don't even fucking bother.
954
00:54:03,620 --> 00:54:04,687
And for as
long as the McCormick's
955
00:54:04,721 --> 00:54:07,724
have been breaking horses,
Pabst has been making beer,
956
00:54:07,757 --> 00:54:09,726
slowly and carefully.
957
00:54:16,298 --> 00:54:20,737
Numbered nearly
45,000 five days before.
958
00:54:22,839 --> 00:54:27,376
Like this, and because
you're more than a little mad,
959
00:54:27,410 --> 00:54:28,845
that makes you my...
960
00:54:28,878 --> 00:54:30,680
Carrie, you've been chosen.
961
00:54:30,713 --> 00:54:33,181
First,
or be arrested.
962
00:54:33,950 --> 00:54:36,886
Some 1200 reacted as the...
963
00:54:36,919 --> 00:54:40,222
To the fleet, and as such,
964
00:54:40,255 --> 00:54:44,159
you see around you the

Terry, Terry.
980
00:55:33,710 --> 00:55:34,510
Don't.
981
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:39,314
Fucking watch it!
982
00:55:39,347 --> 00:55:40,248
That really hurt.
983
00:55:40,282 --> 00:55:41,851
Bring all the gas in, mate?
984
00:55:41,884 --> 00:55:42,852
Terry, what's going on mate?
985
00:55:42,885 --> 00:55:44,754
What's happened?
986
00:55:44,787 --> 00:55:45,621
Terry.
987
00:55:46,589 --> 00:55:47,423
Terry.
988
00:55:48,558 --> 00:55:49,324
- Terry?
- He's off his head, mate.
989
00:55:49,357 --> 00:55:50,593
Look at me.
990
00:55:50,626 --> 00:55:51,994
Terry, Terry, look
at me, look at me.
991
00:55:52,028 --> 00:55:53,496
Look at me. Look at me.
992
00:55:53,529 --> 00:55:54,362
Terry.
993
00:56:04,874 --> 00:56:07,844
This could
just be a bad patch.
994
00:56:07,877 --> 00:56:11,013
It's the
curse, like mum said.
995
00:56:11,047 --> 00:56:12,715
We're cursed.
996
00:56:12,749 --> 00:56:15,384
Oh come on,
don't tow doubt, Peg.
997
00:56:15,418 --> 00:56:16,953
Three of our sisters.
998
00:56:16,986 --> 00:56:19,722
Una, Nora, Vivian,
and now Terry.
999
00:56:22,859 --> 00:56:25,962
It's the bad seed.
It's in all of us.
1000
00:56:27,563 --> 00:56:32,068
Well there's nothing
wrong with David, thank God.
1001
00:56:32,101 --> 00:56:33,636
There wasn't
with Terry, either,
1002
00:56:33,669 --> 00:56:36,338
when he was that age, was there?
1003
00:57:07,570 --> 00:57:09,071
- Morning.
- Hello.
1004
00:57:25,988 --> 00:57:26,923
Oh.
1005
00:57:34,931 --> 00:57:36,933
So who are the
Stooges, anyway?
1006
00:57:36,966 --> 00:57:38,935
Are you fucking kidding me?
1007
00:57:38,968 --> 00:57:40,436
I mean, I thought
the show was over.
1008
00:57:40,469 --> 00:57:42,104
I mean, I think everyone
thought the show was over
1009
00:57:42,138 --> 00:57:45,441
and then Iggy just appeared,
like, out of nowhere
1010
00:57:45,474 --> 00:57:48,077
wearing these silver
lamé evening gloves,
1011
00:57:48,110 --> 00:57:50,813
like he's some kind
of fucking prom queen.
1012
00:57:50,847 --> 00:57:54,951
And then he just dives like
a, like a fucking kamikaze
1013
00:57:54,984 --> 00:57:56,552
right into the audience, man.
1014
00:57:56,586 --> 00:57:58,020
It was crazy.
1015
00:57:58,054 --> 00:57:59,422
I mean, apparently
before he went on,
1016
00:57:59,455 --> 00:58:01,958
he had cut himself
down his chest
1017
00:58:01,991 --> 00:58:03,726
with like a piece of glass,
1018
00:58:03,759 --> 00:58:05,161
but he didn't care,
he was just bouncing
1019
00:58:05,194 --> 00:58:07,697
on top of the crowd,
screaming into the mic,
1020
00:58:07,730 --> 00:58:10,933
just, you know, raw rock and
roll, just bleeding everywhere.
1021
00:58:10,967 --> 00:58:13,502
- Was he really hurt?
- Who gives a shit, man?
1022
00:58:13,536 --> 00:58:15,171
I mean, he didn't care.
1023
00:58:15,204 --> 00:58:18,040
The crowd was
going berserk, man.
1024
00:58:18,074 --> 00:58:22,078
I mean, he's a freak, but
he's just like them, you know?
1025
00:58:22,111 --> 00:58:23,512
He doesn't care.
1026
00:58:23,546 --> 00:58:24,881
He doesn't have to hide it.
1027
00:58:24,914 --> 00:58:27,850
He's just a 100%
committed to whatever
1028
00:58:27,884 --> 00:58:29,719
the fuck he wants to do.
1029
00:58:29,752 --> 00:58:32,421
What you see is what you
get, you know what I mean?
1030
00:58:32,455 --> 00:58:35,725
I mean just no pretense,
no affectation,
1031
00:58:35,758 --> 00:58:38,895
just pure rock and roll, man.
1032
00:58:38,928 --> 00:58:41,030
I mean, okay, you know,
he was out of his mind
1033
00:58:41,063 --> 00:58:44,600
on fucking heroin but my
point still stands, all right?
1034
00:58:44,634 --> 00:58:46,002
I mean if you're
a 16-year-old kid
1035
00:58:46,035 --> 00:58:49,038
and you're watching
that, he is God,
1036
00:58:50,072 --> 00:58:53,476
because he is
everything you can't be.
1037
00:58:53,509 --> 00:58:55,544
You know what I'm saying?
1038
00:58:55,578 --> 00:58:58,047
Definitely the most insane
front man on the planet Earth.
1039
00:58:58,080 --> 00:58:59,749
- Was he really?
- Yeah.
1040
00:58:59,782 --> 00:59:01,017
Have you heard
of Vince Taylor?
1041
00:59:01,050 --> 00:59:02,785
Uh, why do I know that name?
1042
00:59:02,818 --> 00:59:04,754
He sang that song
Brand New Cadillac.
1043
00:59:04,787 --> 00:59:07,556
Oh, right, yeah,
from Louisiana?
1044
00:59:07,590 --> 00:59:08,791
From West London.
1045
00:59:08,824 --> 00:59:10,593
And his nickname was
the French Elvis,
1046
00:59:10,626 --> 00:59:12,962
but he, this electric front man.
1047
00:59:12,995 --> 00:59:14,230
He'd be on the stage, right?
1048
00:59:14,263 --> 00:59:18,134
Thrashing around, his eyes
wild, just incredible.
1049
00:59:18,167 --> 00:59:21,070
And then one day I saw him
outside a station in London
1050
00:59:21,103 --> 00:59:23,039
and he was crouched on the
floor looking over a map
1051
00:59:23,072 --> 00:59:24,941
and I asked him
what he was doing
1052
00:59:24,974 --> 00:59:26,909
and do you know what he said?
1053
00:59:26,943 --> 00:59:29,745
He said
1054
00:59:29,779 --> 00:59:31,881
he said this is where the aliens
1055
00:59:31,914 --> 00:59:34,750
are going to land
to take me away.
1056
00:59:36,052 --> 00:59:37,186
Finally, I put two
and two together
1057
00:59:37,219 --> 00:59:41,023
and I realized, he's
totally off his rocker.
1058
00:59:41,057 --> 00:59:44,060
Yeah.
1059
00:59:44,093 --> 00:59:46,796
So, what was wrong with the guy?
1060
00:59:46,829 --> 00:59:48,030
Who knew.
1061
00:59:48,064 --> 00:59:49,966
Was it too much
acid, not enough?
1062
00:59:49,999 --> 00:59:53,002
Anyway, two weeks later,
he appeared on stage
1063
00:59:53,035 --> 00:59:55,738
in a white robe
and refused to sing
1064
00:59:55,771 --> 00:59:58,741
and he told the audience
that rock music was a lie
1065
00:59:58,774 --> 01:00:00,876
and that he was an alien god.
1066
01:00:00,910 --> 01:00:02,244
Oh man.
1067
01:00:02,278 --> 01:00:03,879
What happened?
1068
01:00:03,913 --> 01:00:05,081
The crowd nearly lynched him.
1069
01:00:05,114 --> 01:00:07,083
They just wanted to
hear Brand New Cadillac.
1070
01:00:07,116 --> 01:00:08,751
Of course they did.
1071
01:00:08,784 --> 01:00:12,021
I am an alien god,
my people need me.
1072
01:00:13,055 --> 01:00:13,889
$7.60.
1073
01:00:19,295 --> 01:00:20,596
Yeah, okay.
1074
01:00:25,301 --> 01:00:26,836
We gotta go.
1075
01:00:26,869 --> 01:00:27,703

Are you part of the
charm circle now?
1125
01:03:53,443 --> 01:03:56,078
He didn't even look at me.
1126
01:03:56,111 --> 01:03:57,880
What'd he say?
1127
01:03:57,913 --> 01:04:00,049

Oh no, you didn't...

I thought I ought
to perform, you know?
1132
01:04:10,427 --> 01:04:12,361
He got someone to
film it and then-
1133
01:04:12,395 --> 01:04:14,863
- Andy Warhol's an asshole.
1134
01:04:16,165 --> 01:04:19,368
I've been following
his work for so long.
1135
01:04:19,402 --> 01:04:23,372
And I thought if anybody
would get me, then Andy would.
1136
01:04:23,406 --> 01:04:25,107
Fuck that guy.
1137
01:04:25,140 --> 01:04:26,509
You think he's going
to make you a star?
1138
01:04:26,543 --> 01:04:28,244
You think you need his blessing?
1139
01:04:28,277 --> 01:04:32,549
I mean, he's a phony scam
artist, a fucking vampire.
1140
01:04:32,582 --> 01:04:34,384
All he does is steal.
1141
01:04:34,417 --> 01:04:36,085
He's one of the
greatest artists.
1142
01:04:36,118 --> 01:04:37,420
No, he's not.
1143
01:04:37,454 --> 01:04:38,421
No, he's not.
1144
01:04:38,455 --> 01:04:40,356
There's better
ways to, you know,
1145
01:04:40,390 --> 01:04:43,058
have a night New York city, man.
1146
01:05:14,089 --> 01:05:15,392
You know, Lou,
everyone says that
1147
01:05:15,425 --> 01:05:17,860
you guys are a guitar
band, but for me,
1148
01:05:17,893 --> 01:05:21,330
it's the piano that's the
real star of the records.
1149
01:05:21,363 --> 01:05:23,566
I've had your
first LP on nonstop
1150
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:27,002
since my manager gave
me a test pressing.
1151
01:05:27,036 --> 01:05:29,271
Amazing, blew me away.
1152
01:05:29,305 --> 01:05:30,540
That wasn't him.
1153
01:05:30,573 --> 01:05:31,940
What?
1154
01:05:31,974 --> 01:05:33,175
I'm telling you,
that wasn't Lou Reed.
1155
01:05:33,208 --> 01:05:35,177
He left the Velvets
three months ago.
1156
01:05:35,210 --> 01:05:37,212
Then who the hell
was I talking to?
1157
01:05:37,246 --> 01:05:38,615
Doug Yule.
1158
01:05:38,648 --> 01:05:40,082
He's been playing
the part for months,
1159
01:05:40,115 --> 01:05:42,284
just holding the band together.
1160
01:05:42,318 --> 01:05:44,053
But he told me all
about how he wrote
1161
01:05:44,086 --> 01:05:45,488
Waiting for the Man.
1162
01:05:45,522 --> 01:05:47,457
Yeah.
1163
01:05:47,490 --> 01:05:49,426
You didn't even
think to tell me?
1164
01:05:49,459 --> 01:05:52,127
I'm sorry, man. You
were just so excited.
1165
01:05:52,161 --> 01:05:56,999
And to be fair, Doug does a
pretty good Lou impersonation.
1166
01:05:57,032 --> 01:05:58,267
You know what?
1167
01:05:58,300 --> 01:06:01,270
I don't even care
that he was fake.
1168
01:06:01,303 --> 01:06:02,204
Why?
1169
01:06:02,237 --> 01:06:04,541
Well, you know, a rock star
1170
01:06:04,574 --> 01:06:06,543
or somebody impersonating
a rock star,
1171
01:06:06,576 --> 01:06:07,510
what's the difference?
1172
01:06:07,544 --> 01:06:10,079
There's a huge difference.
1173
01:06:19,221 --> 01:06:20,523
Welcome to Los Angeles
1174
01:06:20,557 --> 01:06:24,394
where the time is
4:43 in the afternoon.
1175
01:06:24,427 --> 01:06:26,895
Okay, the thing
to remember about LA
1176
01:06:26,929 --> 01:06:29,632
is that they love an exotic
Englishman out here, all right?
1177
01:06:29,666 --> 01:06:32,067
They're going to be
endless kissing your ass
1178
01:06:32,101 --> 01:06:34,471
and promising you the world.
1179
01:06:34,504 --> 01:06:36,238
Yeah, sounds awful.
1180
01:06:36,271 --> 01:06:39,108
Just remember, it's
not reality, all right?
1181
01:06:39,141 --> 01:06:42,645
This is an insane,
fucked up city of lies.
1182
01:06:44,113 --> 01:06:48,551
It's like rock candy mountain
or the fun fair in Pinocchio.
1183
01:06:49,452 --> 01:06:50,653
Yeah, man.
1184
01:06:50,687 --> 01:06:53,490
They're going to turn
you into a donkey, man.
1185
01:06:53,523 --> 01:06:56,024
All right, just be careful.
1186
01:06:56,058 --> 01:06:57,560
Keep your head on.
1187
01:06:58,961 --> 01:07:00,996
All right. Thanks, dad.
1188
01:07:13,308 --> 01:07:14,977
So, got a message
from Mickelson.
1189
01:07:15,010 --> 01:07:16,245
Uh huh?
1190
01:07:16,278 --> 01:07:17,346
He's going to meet
us at that RCA guys
1191
01:07:17,380 --> 01:07:19,081
party tomorrow night.
1192
01:07:19,114 --> 01:07:20,550
- All right.
- It's happening, David.
1193
01:07:20,583 --> 01:07:21,950
Rolling Stone, man.
1194
01:07:21,984 --> 01:07:23,051
- It's real.
- Oh.
1195
01:07:23,085 --> 01:07:24,186
- It's happening.
- Right.
1196
01:07:24,219 --> 01:07:25,053
Wow.
1197
01:07:26,188 --> 01:07:28,090
Also I uh, I
got you a present.

Oh. Thank you.

What is it?
1200
01:07:33,095 --> 01:07:35,465
It's a guy we signed in '68,
1201
01:07:35,498 --> 01:07:37,467
the legendary Stardust Cowboy.
1202
01:07:37,500 --> 01:07:38,967
Oh, cool.
1203
01:07:39,001 --> 01:07:39,702
Yeah, I try to help him
out every now and then.
1204
01:07:39,736 --> 01:07:41,136
None of the other press guys
1205
01:07:41,170 --> 01:07:42,405
at Mercury will
touch him, really.
1206
01:07:42,439 --> 01:07:43,640
Why not?
1207
01:07:43,673 --> 01:07:44,507
Well, you know
about a minute in
1208
01:07:44,541 --> 01:07:47,610
he starts wailing
like fucking lunatic,
1209
01:07:47,644 --> 01:07:48,645
this complete nut job.
1210
01:07:48,678 --> 01:07:51,013
Is it meant to be funny?
1211
01:07:51,046 --> 01:07:53,550
Oh no, no. He's
deadly serious.
1212
01:07:53,583 --> 01:07:57,286
Thinks he's got a genuine shot
at the big time, that guy.
1213
01:07:57,319 --> 01:07:58,153
Oh.
1214
01:07:59,656 --> 01:08:02,725
Anyway, always
room in rock and roll

- Right.
1216

All right. I'll see

1244
01:09:42,224 --> 01:09:43,826
I appreciate you coming out.
1245
01:09:43,860 --> 01:09:45,461
I owe you one, man.
1246
01:09:46,696 --> 01:09:49,264
You do if he's the reason I
sat in a cab for 45 minutes.
1247
01:09:49,298 --> 01:09:50,299
Now wait a second.
1248
01:09:50,332 --> 01:09:51,534
- I, I think you're gonna-
- No, no.
1249
01:09:51,568 --> 01:09:53,603
How many times have I
fucking told you people
1250
01:09:53,636 --> 01:09:55,672
we won't cover another
flower power limey
1251
01:09:55,705 --> 01:09:57,740
crossing the pond
five years too late?
1252
01:09:57,774 --> 01:09:59,409
Can you just give
me, like, five-
1253
01:09:59,442 --> 01:10:02,412
- Man, you've been shoveling
this shit for too long.
1254
01:10:02,445 --> 01:10:04,346
Maybe it's time you got out.
1255
01:10:04,380 --> 01:10:05,748
Found something real yourself.
1256
01:10:05,782 --> 01:10:07,717
Well maybe I have.
1257
01:10:07,750 --> 01:10:10,687
Come on, he looks like
Lauren fucking Bacall.
1258
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:12,689
Actually he prefers
a latter day Garbo,
1259
01:10:12,722 --> 01:10:15,223
- but I get your point, John.
- Do you, though?
1260
01:10:15,257 --> 01:10:17,493
I mean all this counterculture
shit leaves you cold.
1261
01:10:17,527 --> 01:10:19,729
Actually no, that's
not true, all right.
1262
01:10:19,762 --> 01:10:21,363
Listen to me.
1263
01:10:21,397 --> 01:10:24,834
There's, there's something
different about him.
1264
01:10:24,867 --> 01:10:27,770
Is it the
periwinkle eyeshadow?
1265
01:10:27,804 --> 01:10:28,671
No man.
1266
01:10:28,705 --> 01:10:29,606
And you know what your
fuckin' problem is?
1267
01:10:29,639 --> 01:10:32,508
You're jaded and you
might not be able to see
1268
01:10:32,542 --> 01:10:37,547
when a kid's got something,
might really do something, John.
1269
01:10:38,313 --> 01:10:39,582
Okay. Okay, jeez.
1270
01:10:39,616 --> 01:10:42,217
I'm just saying he
better do it soon.
1271
01:10:42,250 --> 01:10:43,553
I'm catching the next
red eye to New York
1272
01:10:43,586 --> 01:10:44,787
in a couple of hours.
1273
01:10:44,821 --> 01:10:45,755
Hey, come on,
you're a music hack.
1274
01:10:45,788 --> 01:10:47,557
Isn't every flight a red eye?
1275
01:10:47,590 --> 01:10:50,393
Look, just talk to him.
That's all I'm asking.
1276
01:10:50,426 --> 01:10:52,462
Okay, so, where do I find him?
1277
01:10:52,495 --> 01:10:54,931
Okay. I'll, uh, hold on.
1278
01:11:13,883 --> 01:11:17,219
You need to get
me out of here.
1279
01:11:49,919 --> 01:11:52,522
Oh, thank fucking god.
1280
01:11:52,555 --> 01:11:53,355
Terry.
1281
01:11:55,024 --> 01:11:56,358
You all right?
1282
01:11:57,660 --> 01:11:58,961
Have you got any smokes?
1283
01:11:58,995 --> 01:12:00,195
Yeah.
1284
01:12:00,963 --> 01:12:02,230
I thought you'd
forgotten about me.
1285
01:12:02,264 --> 01:12:02,899
As if.
1286
01:12:05,902 --> 01:12:06,936
Yeah.
1287
01:12:11,874 --> 01:12:14,410
You need to get me out of here.
1288
01:12:14,444 --> 01:12:16,479
Seriously, David,
1289
01:12:16,512 --> 01:12:18,881
- Well-
- I'm begging ya.
1290
01:12:18,915 --> 01:12:20,583
Look at these people.
1291
01:12:20,616 --> 01:12:22,652
I'm not like them.
1292
01:12:22,685 --> 01:12:25,253
I haven't got any
of this, have I?
1293
01:12:25,287 --> 01:12:26,856
No.
1294
01:12:32,695 --> 01:12:33,596
Hey, David.
1295
01:12:34,797 --> 01:12:35,631
David.
1296
01:12:38,034 --> 01:12:39,902
He's ready for you, man.
1297
01:12:39,936 --> 01:12:41,971
- And David?
- Yeah?
1298
01:12:42,004 --> 01:12:44,807
Please. No fucking miming.
1299
01:12:44,841 --> 01:12:45,975
Okay? All right.
1300
01:12:50,345 --> 01:12:51,581
David.
1301
01:12:52,815 --> 01:12:54,984
I'm sorry, can you
repeat the question?
1302
01:12:55,017 --> 01:12:58,054
I was asking a
simple question,
1303
01:12:58,087 --> 01:13:00,456
who or what is David Bowie?
1304
01:13:01,958 --> 01:13:05,461
Well,
1305
01:13:05,495 --> 01:13:07,730
uh, Dave Bowie is the image
1306
01:13:08,965 --> 01:13:11,467
and David Jones is me, but uh,
1307
01:13:14,369 --> 01:13:16,371
David Bowie is not
a false person.
1308
01:13:16,405 --> 01:13:18,908
I mean, I am also David Bowie.
1309
01:13:21,878 --> 01:13:24,013
Feels a little
schizophrenic to me.
1310
01:13:24,046 --> 01:13:25,681
I mean um...
1311
01:13:25,715 --> 01:13:28,851
You said he's only had
one major psychotic episode,
1312
01:13:28,885 --> 01:13:31,020
but I see from the notes
that your brother's
1313
01:13:31,053 --> 01:13:33,355
had quite a few
violent outbursts.
1314
01:13:33,389 --> 01:13:35,792
No, Terry wouldn't hurt a fly.
1315
01:13:35,825 --> 01:13:38,461
Your mother said he attacked
her husband, John Jones.
1316
01:13:38,494 --> 01:13:40,096
My dad, yeah.
1317
01:13:40,129 --> 01:13:42,398
I mean, they had a big row once.
1318
01:13:42,431 --> 01:13:45,768
Him and Terry didn't
get along so well.
1319
01:13:45,802 --> 01:13:47,937
How long do you think he
needs to stay here for?
1320
01:13:47,970 --> 01:13:50,039
Depends how he
responds to the drugs.
1321
01:13:50,072 --> 01:13:54,443
Could be a few months,
could be much longer.
1322
01:13:54,477 --> 01:13:56,712
And from the family history,
I think Terry may be
1323
01:13:56,746 --> 01:13:58,548
quite far along the spectrum.
1324
01:13:58,581 --> 01:13:59,816
There's a spectrum?
1325
01:13:59,849 --> 01:14:01,450
Schizoid spectrum.
1326
01:14:02,718 --> 01:14:05,021
Usually we see a progression
1327
01:14:05,054 --> 01:14:07,824
- starting with mild psychosis-
- Like what, for example?
1328
01:14:07,857 --> 01:14:09,725
Personality disorder.
1329
01:14:09,759 --> 01:14:12,929
Feeling disconnected
from your surroundings.
1330
01:14:12,962 --> 01:14:16,098
Compulsive sexual behavior,
disordered speech,
1331
01:14:16,132 --> 01:14:18,067
those sort of symptoms.
1332
01:14:19,869 --> 01:14:21,103
Do you have
trouble separating
1333
01:14:21,137 --> 01:14:22,905
fantasy from reality?
1334
01:14:25,608 --> 01:14:30,613
Um, well, I
mean, I don't want to um,
1335
01:14:32,014 --> 01:14:35,518
I don't want to climb out
of my fantasies to um,
1336
01:14:35,551 --> 01:14:37,053
go up on stage.
1337
01:14:37,086 --> 01:14:40,523
I want to, I want to take them
out there with me.
1338
01:14:40,556 --> 01:14:43,993
Okay, so, if I'm at
one of your concerts,
1339
01:14:44,026 --> 01:14:45,695
what am I getting?
1340
01:14:45,728 --> 01:14:46,729
A fantasist?
1341
01:14:47,697 --> 01:14:48,531
A tart.
1342
01:14:49,565 --> 01:14:51,067
- What?
- A harlot.
1343
01:14:58,441 --> 01:15:00,776
This is how you see
your role as an artist?
1344
01:15:02,612 --> 01:15:04,080
Yes.
1345
01:15:04,113 --> 01:15:07,483
I mean well I, I think that
music should be tarted up.
1346
01:15:07,516 --> 01:15:12,121
It should be, should be
made into a prostitute,
1347
01:15:12,154 --> 01:15:13,756
a parody of itself.
1348
01:15:14,857 --> 01:15:16,092
A parody?
1349
01:15:16,125 --> 01:15:19,795
Yes, yes, well I think
music should be the, um,
1350
01:15:19,829 --> 01:15:23,099
should be the clown,
should be the Pierrot.
1351
01:15:23,132 --> 01:15:25,067
Pierrot? The pantomime fool?
1352
01:15:25,101 --> 01:15:27,136
I mean only that um,
1353
01:15:29,205 --> 01:15:34,143
well that music is the mask
that the message wears and I,
1354
01:15:35,778 --> 01:15:39,181
I, the performer,
yeah, I am the message.
1355
01:15:43,185 --> 01:15:45,922
I'm sorry. What
is the message?
1356
01:15:53,095 --> 01:15:56,232
What I want to nail here
is what's the one constant?
1357
01:15:56,265 --> 01:15:59,168
What's the, the thing you carry
1358
01:15:59,201 --> 01:16:01,203
into every song, concert?
1359
01:16:02,905 --> 01:16:04,206
It's like, um...
1360
01:16:07,276 --> 01:16:08,878
It's like a uh...
1361
01:16:10,513 --> 01:16:11,714
A bad seed.
1362
01:16:11,747 --> 01:16:14,450
I mean, it's in my
genes, isn't it?
1363
01:16:15,251 --> 01:16:17,586
It's passed down
in families, yes.
1364
01:16:17,620 --> 01:16:19,989
It doesn't mean it's genetic.
1365
01:16:20,022 --> 01:16:23,125
Sorry. I didn't
quite follow, doc.
1366
01:16:23,159 --> 01:16:25,728
Terry was raised
by his grandmother
1367
01:16:25,761 --> 01:16:27,229
when he was little,
is that right?
1368
01:16:27,263 --> 01:16:28,698
Granny Margaret, yeah.
1369
01:16:28,731 --> 01:16:30,733
She was a tough,
old boot.
1370
01:16:30,766 --> 01:16:33,936
And there was other daughters
who were schizophrenic?
1371
01:16:33,970 --> 01:16:35,071
Yeah, three of my aunts.
1372
01:16:35,104 --> 01:16:37,673
Auntie Una had a lobotomy.
1373
01:16:37,707 --> 01:16:40,142
Drilled right into her brain.
1374
01:16:41,577 --> 01:16:43,512
There's a new theory.
1375
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:48,985
Schizophrenia may be triggered
by traumatic rejection,
1376
01:16:49,018 --> 01:16:51,687
you know, when parents
reject their children?
1377
01:16:51,721 --> 01:16:54,657
Either in childhood
or adolescence.
1378
01:16:56,092 --> 01:16:59,161
What about audiences
rejecting performers?
1379
01:17:00,863 --> 01:17:05,801
I don't think there's been
a paper written on that.
1380
01:17:27,590 --> 01:17:28,224
Okay.
1381
01:17:31,027 --> 01:17:33,829
All right, so uh, did
you get what you need?
1382
01:17:33,863 --> 01:17:34,697

David!
1394
01:20:30,239 --> 01:20:32,374
David, Jesus, don't.
1395
01:20:32,409 --> 01:20:35,344
Oh god, thank fucking god.
1396
01:20:35,377 --> 01:20:36,446
You're alive.
1397
01:20:37,346 --> 01:20:39,348
I don't need to worry?
1398
01:20:41,217 --> 01:20:42,885
You know,
my brother, Terry
1399
01:20:42,918 --> 01:20:45,788
the one in the merchant navy?
1400
01:20:45,821 --> 01:20:49,158
Well he's uh, he's not
in the merchant navy.
1401
01:20:49,191 --> 01:20:50,960
He's in an asylum.
1402
01:20:50,993 --> 01:20:53,128
- I'm sorry, buddy.
- Yeah.
1403
01:20:54,397 --> 01:20:56,399
The dirty secret.
1404
01:20:56,433 --> 01:20:58,435
Madness in the family.
1405
01:21:00,470 --> 01:21:03,239
Generation after generation,
1406
01:21:03,272 --> 01:21:05,408
behind the net curtains and,
1407
01:21:06,476 --> 01:21:09,078
well, I'm scheduled to be next.
1408
01:21:13,082 --> 01:21:14,950
I don't want to go mad.
1409
01:21:14,984 --> 01:21:17,387
I've made other plans.
1410
01:21:17,420 --> 01:21:20,490
Well, listen, this
fucking business can make
1411
01:21:20,523 --> 01:21:22,825
the most sane people feel
like they're fucking nuts.
1412
01:21:22,858 --> 01:21:25,094
It's not the
music business, Ron.
1413
01:21:25,127 --> 01:21:26,795
It's, I mean, I can,
1414
01:21:29,532 --> 01:21:31,468
I can put it in a song, right?
1415
01:21:31,501 --> 01:21:34,870
But you expect me
to go across America
1416
01:21:36,305 --> 01:21:39,975
talking about it, saying
oh hello, I'm David Bowie
1417
01:21:40,009 --> 01:21:42,412
and I happen to be
going stark raving mad.
1418
01:21:42,445 --> 01:21:44,146
That fucking terrifies me.
1419
01:21:44,179 --> 01:21:46,148
I never told you
you had to do that.
1420
01:21:46,181 --> 01:21:47,316
Yes you did.
1421
01:21:48,418 --> 01:21:50,587
You've been telling me to do
that ever since I arrived.
1422
01:21:50,620 --> 01:21:52,354
Be authentic.
1423
01:21:52,389 --> 01:21:55,291
Tell the truth. Be yourself.
1424
01:21:57,560 --> 01:22:00,563
All of these bloody
authentic musicians you like,
1425
01:22:00,597 --> 01:22:03,265
there is no authentic me.
1426
01:22:03,299 --> 01:22:04,300
It's just...
1427
01:22:05,568 --> 01:22:07,102
Fear and voices.
1428
01:22:12,141 --> 01:22:14,544
I mean, you know who you are.
1429
01:22:15,512 --> 01:22:18,548
Right? That's that's
something to envy.
1430
01:22:18,581 --> 01:22:20,049
Don't.
1431
01:22:20,082 --> 01:22:21,350
It's overrated.
1432
01:22:22,552 --> 01:22:24,920
Well, look, you know, it's
not that hard, really.
1433
01:22:24,953 --> 01:22:28,324
I mean, if you
can't be yourself...
1434
01:22:28,357 --> 01:22:29,492
Well, I can't, can I?
1435
01:22:29,526 --> 01:22:32,595
Well then be someone else.
1436
01:22:32,629 --> 01:22:33,962
Be someone else.
1437
01:22:35,998 --> 01:22:38,435
- Who?
- I don't fucking know.
1438
01:22:42,905 --> 01:22:44,541
Well, thank you.
1439
01:22:44,574 --> 01:22:46,942
That was extremely unhelpful.
1440
01:22:46,975 --> 01:22:48,411
I know.
1441
01:22:48,445 --> 01:22:50,179
I'm just a publicist.
You're the fucking artist.
1442
01:23:09,365 --> 01:23:12,469
Sir? Your drink.
1443
01:23:21,644 --> 01:23:22,612
Hi, folks.
1444
01:23:22,645 --> 01:23:25,247
We're not expecting much
in the way of turbulence
1445
01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:27,517
for your flight to
London, England tonight.
1446
01:23:27,550 --> 01:23:30,620
Flight time, 12
hours and 35 minutes.
1447
01:23:31,987 --> 01:23:35,558
We should have you on
the ground around 10 AM.
1448
01:24:40,657 --> 01:24:41,491
David?
1449
01:24:53,335 --> 01:24:56,739
What the fuck did
they do to you?
1450
01:24:56,773 --> 01:24:58,575
It's happening.
1451
01:24:58,608 --> 01:24:59,642
What's happening?
1452
01:24:59,676 --> 01:25:01,678
What happened to Terry.
1453
01:25:01,711 --> 01:25:03,278
No.
1454
01:25:03,312 --> 01:25:04,647
No, it's not David.
1455
01:25:04,681 --> 01:25:05,482
No.
1456
01:25:05,515 --> 01:25:08,350
No, no. It's not
happening, all right?
1457
01:25:08,384 --> 01:25:10,420
You just need rest.
1458
01:25:10,453 --> 01:25:12,388
You just need some
rest, that's all.
1459
01:25:23,766 --> 01:25:27,269
Terry darling, it's
really not a good time.
1460
01:25:27,302 --> 01:25:28,337
Hello Terry.
1461
01:25:28,370 --> 01:25:30,540
Back from your holidays?
1462
01:25:31,641 --> 01:25:32,775
You could have
sent me a postcard.
1463
01:25:32,809 --> 01:25:34,711
- Terry.
- I was expecting a postcard.
1464
01:25:34,744 --> 01:25:37,045
Or did you forget about me?
1465
01:25:37,079 --> 01:25:38,247
Did they
discharge you?
1466
01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:39,181
Nah.
1467
01:25:39,214 --> 01:25:40,583
Did a runner.
1468
01:25:40,617 --> 01:25:44,754
Wanna see if my little
brother got back in one piece.
1469
01:25:44,787 --> 01:25:47,557
I wanted to hear
the great tidings.
1470
01:25:47,590 --> 01:25:49,659
Did we crack America, Davie?
1471
01:25:49,692 --> 01:25:52,529
What do you mean, Terry?
1472
01:25:52,562 --> 01:25:54,497
All the Madmen.
1473
01:25:54,531 --> 01:25:55,364
That's us.
1474
01:25:56,833 --> 01:25:57,734
The madmen.
1475
01:25:58,601 --> 01:25:59,502
Terry.
1476
01:25:59,536 --> 01:26:02,304
David's just gotten
home and he's shattered.
1477
01:26:02,337 --> 01:26:03,673
I'm shattered!
1478
01:26:04,674 --> 01:26:06,743
You're shattered?
1479
01:26:06,776 --> 01:26:10,078
The whole fucking
world is shattered.
1480
01:26:17,587 --> 01:26:19,622
It's okay.
1481
01:26:19,656 --> 01:26:21,323
You're not well.
1482
01:26:21,356 --> 01:26:22,825
You need to go back.
1483
01:26:22,859 --> 01:26:25,193
- I'll take him.
- No, David.
1484
01:26:45,615 --> 01:26:46,449
Come in.
1485
01:26:48,283 --> 01:26:49,719
Terry, I can't.
1486
01:26:50,853 --> 01:26:52,689
Of course you can.
1487
01:26:52,722 --> 01:26:57,727
Nothing to be afraid of.
1488
01:27:13,910 --> 01:27:15,812
Oh, the prodigal returns.
1489
01:27:15,845 --> 01:27:17,847
Let me call off
the search party.
1490
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:18,815
I'm going to get going.
1491
01:27:18,848 --> 01:27:20,817
- Angie, you know.
- Oh, Terry.
1492
01:27:20,850 --> 01:27:22,217
Your Jemima's here.
1493
01:27:22,250 --> 01:27:24,787
Come and watch, please.
1494
01:27:24,821 --> 01:27:26,456
- You'll like it.
- No, I'm gonna-
1495
01:27:26,489 --> 01:27:28,858
- Terry, why don't you
just join 'em in the ward.
1496
01:27:28,891 --> 01:27:30,860
I'll talk to your brother.
1497
01:27:35,798 --> 01:27:36,899
He's right, you know.
1498
01:27:36,933 --> 01:27:38,367
You should stay and watch.
1499
01:27:38,401 --> 01:27:39,502
Watch what?
1500
01:27:41,370 --> 01:27:43,606
Let me show you.
1501
01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:44,474
This way.
1502
01:27:45,575 --> 01:27:47,175
We've heard so much about you.
1503
01:27:47,209 --> 01:27:50,413
Terry says you're back
from a tour of America.
1504
01:27:50,446 --> 01:27:51,814
Yeah.
1505
01:27:51,848 --> 01:27:53,783
There's some fascinating
work on psychiatry
1506
01:27:53,816 --> 01:27:55,551
coming from the east coast.
1507
01:27:55,585 --> 01:27:57,387
Well, of course we do
interesting work here as well.
1508
01:27:57,420 --> 01:28:01,924
It's probably worth your
while hanging around.
1509
01:28:01,958 --> 01:28:03,325
In Cane Hill?
1510
01:28:04,894 --> 01:28:06,261
Don't need to look so alarmed.
1511
01:28:06,294 --> 01:28:07,830
We have a new therapist,
1512
01:28:07,864 --> 01:28:08,765
and Terry is really
taken with her.
1513
01:28:08,798 --> 01:28:11,534
Look, I'm certain that
with your background,
1514
01:28:11,567 --> 01:28:12,869
you'll find what she does
absolutely fascinating.
1515
01:28:12,902 --> 01:28:13,936
Come on.
1516
01:28:19,475 --> 01:28:22,979
Your brother really
enjoys her sessions which,
1517
01:28:23,012 --> 01:28:26,649
well it's such a
surprise that he eloped.
1518
01:28:29,819 --> 01:28:31,554
I don't think I want to go in.
1519
01:28:31,587 --> 01:28:32,889
Look, it's a new idea.
1520
01:28:32,922 --> 01:28:34,791
It's called drama therapy.
1521
01:28:34,824 --> 01:28:37,627
Essentially it means you
discharge your psychosis
1522
01:28:37,660 --> 01:28:40,963
by pretending to
be someone else.
1523
01:28:40,997 --> 01:28:44,534
If you even lay one
fucking finger on him again,
1524
01:28:44,567 --> 01:28:46,903
I'll beat you 'til
next Saturday.
1525
01:28:46,936 --> 01:28:48,638
Do you understand?
1526
01:28:56,479 --> 01:28:58,815
How about you, Terry?
1527
01:28:58,848 --> 01:29:01,918
Have you thought about who
you'd like to be today?
1528
01:29:01,951 --> 01:29:03,720
Anybody you'd like.
1529
01:29:04,587 --> 01:29:06,656
Who would you like to be?
1530
01:29:09,058 --> 01:29:10,927
A singer.
1531
01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:12,395
Well all right.
1532
01:29:13,629 --> 01:29:15,263
Any specific singer?
1533
01:29:15,297 --> 01:29:16,899
Frank Sinatra?
1534
01:29:16,933 --> 01:29:18,701
Marty Wilde?
1535
01:29:18,735 --> 01:29:22,905
There is someone, yeah,
that I should have been.

What is all this?
1550
01:31:23,626 --> 01:31:25,094
What is all this stuff?
1551
01:31:25,127 --> 01:31:29,665
I'm trying, uh, I'm trying
to put something together.
1552
01:31:29,699 --> 01:31:31,067
Put what together?
1553
01:31:31,100 --> 01:31:34,337
I don't know yet,
it's uh, America.
1554
01:31:37,907 --> 01:31:40,076
You're trying to
put America together?
1555
01:31:40,109 --> 01:31:42,945
I don't know!
1556
01:31:42,979 --> 01:31:45,748
It's just, there's
bits and pieces.
1557
01:31:45,781 --> 01:31:47,083
Bits and pieces.
1558
01:31:49,919 --> 01:31:52,488
What do you want from me?
1559
01:32:03,099 --> 01:32:05,067
What do I want?
1560
01:32:05,101 --> 01:32:06,669
What do I want?
1561
01:32:06,702 --> 01:32:09,038
What do you think I want David?
1562
01:32:09,071 --> 01:32:11,107
We were supposed to be
rewriting the rules together,
1563
01:32:11,140 --> 01:32:12,909
destroying marriage
in its old form,
1564
01:32:12,942 --> 01:32:15,177
sort of resurrecting
this new equality.
1565
01:32:15,211 --> 01:32:17,914
Two equals, two shining stars.
1566
01:32:18,981 --> 01:32:22,118
Not ignored, invisible,
inconsequential,
1567
01:32:23,552 --> 01:32:25,588
a fucking broodmare.
1568
01:32:25,621 --> 01:32:27,023
You weren't there for me.
1569
01:32:27,056 --> 01:32:28,958
What? In America?
1570
01:32:28,991 --> 01:32:30,126
Yeah.
1571
01:32:30,159 --> 01:32:32,662
Sometimes I would
call you, right,
1572
01:32:32,695 --> 01:32:35,598
- and you weren't-
- I wasn't there?
1573
01:32:35,631 --> 01:32:39,101
Oh, I wasn't sitting next
to the phone or submissive.
1574
01:32:39,135 --> 01:32:42,571
Docile, just waiting
for you to call.
1575
01:32:42,605 --> 01:32:43,940
Fuck you, David.
1576
01:32:45,107 --> 01:32:47,910
We were supposed to
be king and queen.
1577
01:32:47,944 --> 01:32:50,146
Not master and fucking slave.
1578
01:32:52,081 --> 01:32:53,849
That's it.
1579
01:32:53,883 --> 01:32:54,684
I'm done.
1580
01:32:55,718 --> 01:32:57,086
It's over, David.
1581
01:33:01,691 --> 01:33:04,026
That's it, it's fucking
over. That's it!
1582
01:33:04,060 --> 01:33:05,561
No it isn't.
1583
01:33:38,327 --> 01:33:39,695
Bloody hell.
1584
01:33:42,898 --> 01:33:45,267
Listen, I've got all these
American music hacks.
1585
01:33:45,301 --> 01:33:48,604
50 of them. I've
brought America to you.
1586
01:33:48,637 --> 01:33:51,140
So I want to bring a
few of them backstage.
1587
01:33:51,173 --> 01:33:52,975
Quick peek behind the curtain.
1588
01:33:53,009 --> 01:33:54,176
No.
1589
01:33:54,210 --> 01:33:56,145
David, RCA paid for
them to fly across
1590
01:33:56,178 --> 01:33:58,214
the Atlantic to meet you.
1591
01:33:58,247 --> 01:34:01,984
- I said no.
- For fuck's sake, why not?
1592
01:34:06,255 --> 01:34:09,325
Aliens don't mingle, Tony.
1593
01:34:15,831 --> 01:34:17,033
No fucking way.
1594
01:34:17,066 --> 01:34:18,267
Mick. You agreed.
1595
01:34:18,300 --> 01:34:21,737
It's like, um, like a gang right?
Like the Clockwork Orange.
1596
01:34:21,771 --> 01:34:23,739
Just a little
bit less scary, so,
1597
01:34:23,773 --> 01:34:26,308
Freddie and I picked these
colors just for you, right,
1598
01:34:26,342 --> 01:34:30,012
so, oh, blue for you
and your gorgeous hair.
1599
01:34:31,213 --> 01:34:34,650
This is, oh, this
might be my favorite.
1600
01:34:35,618 --> 01:34:37,053
You're fucking joking me.
1601
01:34:37,086 --> 01:34:39,855
Takes a real man to
wear pink and pull it off.
1602
01:34:39,889 --> 01:34:41,657
And Mick gets gold.
1603
01:34:49,298 --> 01:34:51,200
No, no, no, no, no, no.
1604
01:34:54,003 --> 01:34:55,304
Oh, fuck's sake.
1605
01:35:00,810 --> 01:35:02,211
What are you doing, Mick?
1606
01:35:02,244 --> 01:35:04,246
Going home.
1607
01:35:04,280 --> 01:35:05,714
'Cause this is fucking silly.
1608
01:35:05,748 --> 01:35:07,183
You know what, it doesn't
go down well in Hull.
1609
01:35:07,216 --> 01:35:08,617
- Hull?
- That's right.
1610
01:35:08,651 --> 01:35:10,319
But we've never
played in Hull.
1611
01:35:10,352 --> 01:35:12,354
Last time you dressed
as a fairy on TV,
1612
01:35:12,389 --> 01:35:16,358
some buster threw a potted
plant in me dad's house.
1613
01:35:16,393 --> 01:35:19,128
Okay, all right, but
Mick, but Mick, the music.
1614
01:35:19,161 --> 01:35:20,229
The music's fine, David.
1615
01:35:20,262 --> 01:35:23,766
I'd go so far as to say the
music's fucking brilliant.
1616
01:35:23,799 --> 01:35:27,336
So why do we gotta dress
like some puff's pantomime?
1617
01:35:27,369 --> 01:35:28,304
I mean, look at
you, you're gonna
1618
01:35:28,337 --> 01:35:29,705
be a fucking laughing stock.
1619
01:35:29,738 --> 01:35:31,774
No one'll her the music.
1620
01:35:31,807 --> 01:35:35,177
They'll just see
some fucking clown.
1621
01:35:35,211 --> 01:35:36,712
You're ruining it.
1622
01:35:37,713 --> 01:35:39,181
If this is such a good idea,
1623
01:35:39,215 --> 01:35:42,718
why hasn't Robert Plant done
it, or Daltrey, or Jagger?
1624
01:35:42,751 --> 01:35:43,719
It's bollocks, mate.
1625
01:35:43,752 --> 01:35:45,654
You are not a space alien.
1626
01:35:45,688 --> 01:35:46,922
Oh yes I am.
1627
01:35:46,956 --> 01:35:48,257
You are not an alien.
1628
01:35:48,290 --> 01:35:50,059
You're from Bromley, man.
1629
01:35:50,092 --> 01:35:51,327
What's so fucking funny?
1630
01:35:51,360 --> 01:35:53,229
What are you fucking
laughing at, David?
1631
01:36:05,107 --> 01:36:08,177
Woo hoo.
1632
01:36:10,846 --> 01:36:13,015
Aren't we picture perfect?
1633
01:36:15,851 --> 01:36:17,019
Are you doing
touches on the others?
1634
01:36:17,052 --> 01:36:19,288
Oh, there's so
many kids out there.
1635
01:36:19,321 --> 01:36:22,358
There's incidents occurring.
1636
01:36:22,392 --> 01:36:24,226
- Is Mick wearing the-
- Yeah, he's wearing it.
1637
01:36:24,260 --> 01:36:25,094
Good.
1638
01:36:36,939 --> 01:36:38,107
Thanks, Angie.
1639
01:36:42,344 --> 01:36:44,079
Good luck, darling.
1640
01:37:18,347 --> 01:37:19,382
Come on.
1641
01:37:27,390 --> 01:37:28,458
David?
1642
01:37:28,491 --> 01:37:29,426
Hey, David?
1643
01:37:31,428 --> 01:37:32,261
Oh my God.
1644
01:37:34,930 --> 01:37:37,400
Fuckin' look at you, man.
1645
01:37:37,434 --> 01:37:38,468
You're real.
1646
01:37:38,501 --> 01:37:40,236
Yeah, the last time I checked.
1647
01:37:40,269 --> 01:37:42,137
I wouldn't miss it
for the world, buddy.
1648
01:37:42,171 --> 01:37:43,406
Oh yeah.
1649
01:37:43,440 --> 01:37:44,807
Wow.
1650
01:37:44,840 --> 01:37:47,076
I told you, all it
takes is one believer.
1651
01:37:47,109 --> 01:37:48,277
And we've got two.
1652
01:37:48,310 --> 01:37:52,047
Two? There's like a thousand,
2000 people out there, man.
1653
01:37:52,081 --> 01:37:53,015
It's crazy.
1654
01:37:54,149 --> 01:37:56,486
Mr. Bowie,
they're ready for you.
1655
01:37:56,519 --> 01:37:58,220
All right, man, go out there.
1656
01:37:58,254 --> 01:38:00,523
Give it all you got.
1657
01:38:00,557 --> 01:38:01,524
