631
00:43:58,010 --> 00:43:59,804
632
00:43:59,846 --> 00:44:01,889
633
00:44:01,931 --> 00:44:05,309
634
00:44:05,351 --> 00:44:07,854
635
00:44:07,895 --> 00:44:10,231
636
00:44:10,273 --> 00:44:12,567
637
00:44:12,608 --> 00:44:14,610
She changed the way I wrote,
638
00:44:14,652 --> 00:44:19,532
because I realized that it was okay to talk
what was happening in your heart,
639
00:44:19,532 --> 00:44:21,576
so that other people could say,
640
00:44:21,576 --> 00:44:26,372
"I know what you're talking about. It happened to me the other day."
These types of songs.
641
00:44:31,586 --> 00:44:34,255
Um ano ap�s Joni Mitchell lan�ar Blue,
642
00:44:34,255 --> 00:44:39,010
Neil Young, a singer-songwriter
equally uncommitted,
643
00:44:39,010 --> 00:44:40,428
produced a disc advance.
644
00:44:42,013 --> 00:44:45,266
Over the next 35 years,
your relentless pursuit of the soul
645
00:44:45,308 --> 00:44:48,728
would sustain a journey
musical imprevis�vel.
646
00:44:50,813 --> 00:44:52,857
These guys are going to do any
thing for a laugh.
647
00:44:55,985 --> 00:44:58,738
648
00:44:58,779 --> 00:45:01,490
649
00:45:01,532 --> 00:45:07,997
a heart of gold...
650
00:45:08,039 --> 00:45:09,999
Harvest was a huge success
651
00:45:10,041 --> 00:45:12,960
and it kind of put Neil very
deeply no map.
652
00:45:13,002 --> 00:45:20,509
a heart of gold
653
00:45:20,551 --> 00:45:22,595
654
00:45:24,221 --> 00:45:29,727
But immediately afterwards, there were some tragedies.
There was a roadie named Bruce Berry,
655
00:45:29,727 --> 00:45:34,482
e ent�o havia Danny Whitten
do Crazy Horse,
656
00:45:34,523 --> 00:45:36,984
who would die in a short period of
time for heroin overdose.
657
00:45:37,026 --> 00:45:39,820
658
00:45:39,862 --> 00:45:42,615
659
00:45:42,615 --> 00:45:48,537
a heart of gold...
660
00:45:48,579 --> 00:45:54,335
Neil, on top of his
market success,
661
00:45:54,377 --> 00:45:56,253
exorcised all your demons,
662
00:45:56,253 --> 00:45:59,590
atrav�s de Tonight's The Night,
what it was,
663
00:45:59,632 --> 00:46:02,927
somehow,
the most imperfect record he ever made.
664
00:46:02,927 --> 00:46:06,514
665
00:46:08,391 --> 00:46:11,978
666
00:46:12,019 --> 00:46:14,981
He was rebelling against production.
667
00:46:15,022 --> 00:46:18,401
He said, "I want to make a record,
and I want to do this live,
668
00:46:18,442 --> 00:46:22,279
but I want people to hear it before
for the band to know what they're doing. "
669
00:46:22,321 --> 00:46:24,991
670
00:46:25,032 --> 00:46:28,828
that Econoline van...
671
00:46:28,869 --> 00:46:30,663
So we go on tour,
672
00:46:30,705 --> 00:46:34,792
and everyone expected that he would play
todas as can��es de Harvest.
673
00:46:34,834 --> 00:46:37,503
The Eagles were the opening attraction.
674
00:46:37,545 --> 00:46:40,756
The Eagles went and razed.
675
00:46:40,798 --> 00:46:44,510
in a shaky voice
676
00:46:44,552 --> 00:46:48,180
677
00:46:49,598 --> 00:46:52,560
678
00:46:52,601 --> 00:46:57,023
And then Neil went and touched the
�lbum Tonight's The Night
679
00:46:57,064 --> 00:46:58,816
from beginning to end.
680
00:46:58,816 --> 00:47:01,610
He would say,
"If you stay with this one,
681
00:47:01,652 --> 00:47:05,031
in the end, I will play songs
that you've heard before. "
682
00:47:05,072 --> 00:47:08,451
And then, in the end,
he started the album all over again!
683
00:47:10,036 --> 00:47:12,413
And that's where I knew I loved him.
684
00:47:12,413 --> 00:47:14,540
And the place was emptied.
685
00:47:14,582 --> 00:47:16,625
Almost every night!
686
00:47:16,667 --> 00:47:21,714
It was fantastic. I never
I saw no one do that.
687
00:47:21,756 --> 00:47:23,591
Era incr�vel.
688
00:47:23,632 --> 00:47:27,636
It was just the power of his own
belief and their own convictions,
689
00:47:27,678 --> 00:47:29,722
that he just didn't give a damn.
690
00:47:29,764 --> 00:47:32,767
691
00:47:32,767 --> 00:47:34,226
692
00:47:41,776 --> 00:47:46,697
I think I'm writing about a part of me
that I don't know if I'll ever share.
693
00:47:46,739 --> 00:47:48,616
I don't know.
694
00:47:48,657 --> 00:47:50,451
� but ...
695
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:53,204
I'm writing about, um ...
696
00:47:54,538 --> 00:47:56,415
the way I feel inside
697
00:47:56,415 --> 00:47:59,543
and it doesn't matter how many people
are around me ...
698
00:47:59,585 --> 00:48:03,964
I keep talking about it,
all the things that happen inside of me,
699
00:48:04,006 --> 00:48:05,299
it is a...
700
00:48:07,384 --> 00:48:09,762
I think that when talking about it, it helps.
701
00:48:15,351 --> 00:48:17,978
Neil Young's slow rock'n'roll
702
00:48:18,020 --> 00:48:20,648
and Joni Mitchell's acoustic poetry
703
00:48:20,648 --> 00:48:22,983
separate worlds sounded,
704
00:48:23,025 --> 00:48:25,861
but they were both serious, sensitive musicians
705
00:48:25,903 --> 00:48:28,656
with intensely compositions
self-centered.
706
00:48:28,656 --> 00:48:33,619
They took a new generation of
ruthlessly dedicated artists
707
00:48:33,661 --> 00:48:39,458
and brought about a radical change in strategy
commercial of the Los Angeles music industry.
708
00:48:41,877 --> 00:48:44,421
In the early days of Warner Reprise,
709
00:48:44,463 --> 00:48:48,050
the label signed with artists like
Neil Young and Randy Newman
710
00:48:48,050 --> 00:48:49,593
and Joni Mitchell,
711
00:48:49,635 --> 00:48:53,639
and I think the label has become aware
that these artists had a vision,
712
00:48:53,681 --> 00:48:57,226
and that it was not just a creative musical vision.
713
00:48:57,268 --> 00:49:02,398
It was related to who they were
and how they were represented and perceived.
714
00:49:02,439 --> 00:49:05,776
Warner Reprise - part of Warner Bros -
715
00:49:05,818 --> 00:49:10,239
and previously known as
Frank Sinatra’s company,
716
00:49:10,281 --> 00:49:14,660
was the first to bet on the troubadours
uncompromising from LA.
717
00:49:14,702 --> 00:49:16,912
It was a calculated risk.
718
00:49:16,954 --> 00:49:18,706
And it was worth it.
719
00:49:18,747 --> 00:49:22,042
He weighs act exibisse causts
by latest artists,
720
00:49:22,084 --> 00:49:23,961
regardless of what they did,
721
00:49:24,003 --> 00:49:27,047
while you were not suffering
a lot of damage financially,
722
00:49:27,047 --> 00:49:30,009
it was a way of attracting other artists.
723
00:49:30,009 --> 00:49:33,179
724
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:36,348
725
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:42,188
this troubled world behind...
726
00:49:42,229 --> 00:49:47,568
I was in a band in New York for a
time, after I finished high school
727
00:49:47,568 --> 00:49:52,865
and, um ... when it was over, I decided
that I would like to travel a little bit,
728
00:49:52,907 --> 00:49:56,535
so I went to London and, um ...
729
00:49:56,535 --> 00:50:00,247
I ... I found it very difficult to
get jobs without having documents,
730
00:50:00,247 --> 00:50:04,877
so I decided, instead,
that I would like to make a record.
731
00:50:04,919 --> 00:50:09,506
she's been with me now
732
00:50:09,548 --> 00:50:11,592
733
00:50:11,634 --> 00:50:14,303
734
00:50:14,345 --> 00:50:16,972
735
00:50:16,972 --> 00:50:21,977
I was here in California and I did
a recording agreement for James,
736
00:50:22,019 --> 00:50:26,023
with Warner Bros, choosing it because
of the nice people they already had,
737
00:50:26,065 --> 00:50:28,859
and because of the album announcements
that Stan Cornyn wrote,
738
00:50:28,901 --> 00:50:31,487
that were the coolest
that we’ve already seen.
739
00:50:31,528 --> 00:50:36,075
James Taylor deixou a Apple Records
to be at Warner Bros.
740
00:50:36,116 --> 00:50:39,078
Apple was as hippie as it could be
741
00:50:39,119 --> 00:50:42,039
and he wanted to be on our label.
742
00:50:46,126 --> 00:50:48,879
That was Sweet Baby James.
That was extraordinary.
743
00:50:48,921 --> 00:50:53,050
744
00:50:53,050 --> 00:50:55,010
745
00:50:56,428 --> 00:51:01,141
They're his only companions...
746
00:51:01,183 --> 00:51:03,686
Letters sens�veis,
747
00:51:03,727 --> 00:51:09,566
gentle music and the intriguing suggestion
of a tortured soul
748
00:51:09,566 --> 00:51:13,362
made James Taylor the last
singer-songwriter in the exile of LA
749
00:51:13,404 --> 00:51:15,572
a powerful artistic force.
750
00:51:17,157 --> 00:51:21,829
You moonlight ladies
751
00:51:21,870 --> 00:51:26,458
My Sweet Baby James...
752
00:51:26,500 --> 00:51:32,298
Neither James nor I particularly liked
of softness,
753
00:51:32,339 --> 00:51:33,799
nor of sensitivity,
754
00:51:33,841 --> 00:51:36,927
because it is not smooth and
sensitive that way.
755
00:51:40,514 --> 00:51:47,021
But there is a contrast between a certain softness,
for lack of a better word, musically,
756
00:51:47,062 --> 00:51:50,024
with the fact that the lyrics were quite intense.
757
00:51:50,065 --> 00:51:52,276
758
00:51:52,318 --> 00:51:55,070
759
00:51:55,112 --> 00:52:00,242
put an end to you
760
00:52:02,703 --> 00:52:05,331
761
00:52:05,372 --> 00:52:08,500
762
00:52:08,542 --> 00:52:11,628
There are lyrics about a friend who killed herself
763
00:52:11,670 --> 00:52:14,840
and experiences in a psychiatric hospital
and drugs,
764
00:52:14,882 --> 00:52:18,052
so the question is by no means the melody.
765
00:52:18,052 --> 00:52:19,928
766
00:52:21,180 --> 00:52:26,018
would never end...
767
00:52:26,060 --> 00:52:28,312
He was a heavy drug addict
bigger than any of us.
768
00:52:28,354 --> 00:52:30,981
Sweet Baby James was that fucking animal.
769
00:52:31,023 --> 00:52:35,402
He was a hippy junkie. And there was
something about that mindset
770
00:52:35,444 --> 00:52:40,282
that, in one way or another,
separated him from everything else.
771
00:52:40,324 --> 00:52:43,410
I remember saying to him once,
"It's a good thing
772
00:52:43,452 --> 00:52:46,497
that you're a fucking folk guy, man.
Se voc� fosse um rock'n'roller,
773
00:52:46,538 --> 00:52:48,540
you would be dead years ago.
774
00:52:48,582 --> 00:52:53,587
You can't behave that way
without someone killing you, or you kill yourself. "
775
00:52:53,629 --> 00:52:58,133
and I've seen rain...
776
00:52:58,133 --> 00:53:03,555
Supported by musicians from a
joint known as the LA Mafia,
777
00:53:03,597 --> 00:53:07,893
James Taylor's first album on the West Coast
remained on the album chart
778
00:53:07,893 --> 00:53:09,269
for more than 100 weeks,
779
00:53:09,311 --> 00:53:13,273
making the sensitive singer-songwriter
news layer,
780
00:53:13,315 --> 00:53:16,026
and, in the same year,
781
00:53:16,068 --> 00:53:21,740
a colleague in the East Coast exile launched the
most successful record that LA has ever produced.
782
00:53:21,782 --> 00:53:26,829
I know that many of you are
admirers of James Taylor.
783
00:53:26,870 --> 00:53:28,414
I am too.
784
00:53:28,414 --> 00:53:30,958
I would like to call you here to help me.
785
00:53:30,999 --> 00:53:35,003
He was kind enough to volunteer,
so come on, James!
786
00:53:37,464 --> 00:53:42,886
Carole King made his name as
one of the halves of Goffen And King,
787
00:53:42,928 --> 00:53:48,892
a prolific partnership in the compositions factory
of success in the heart of New York, the Brill Building.
788
00:53:51,562 --> 00:53:54,982
But in LA, it would undergo a radical reinvention.
789
00:53:55,023 --> 00:53:58,944
790
00:53:58,986 --> 00:54:05,534
any more...?
791
00:54:06,702 --> 00:54:10,664
Carole King, she took advantage of Sweet Baby James,
792
00:54:10,706 --> 00:54:13,750
so Carole was a big part of that.
793
00:54:13,792 --> 00:54:17,921
794
00:54:17,963 --> 00:54:22,050
795
00:54:22,092 --> 00:54:26,513
She wrote all the great songs
that we grew up learning,
796
00:54:26,555 --> 00:54:31,018
de Up On The Roof a One Fine Day
a Natural Woman.
797
00:54:31,059 --> 00:54:33,770
I mean, she wrote it all down.
798
00:54:33,812 --> 00:54:39,401
The transformation of Carole King from a composer of
rent for an introspective singer-songwriter
799
00:54:39,443 --> 00:54:43,572
exemplified the change in industry
from music from New York to LA,
800
00:54:43,572 --> 00:54:46,658
de Brill Building para Laurel Canyon.
801
00:54:46,658 --> 00:54:51,830
moving along the highway...
802
00:54:54,541 --> 00:54:57,920
Tapestry spent an admirable 15 weeks in number 1,
803
00:54:57,961 --> 00:55:03,509
confirming LA as the spiritual home and naturally
commercial for a new type of popular artist.
804
00:55:05,302 --> 00:55:08,680
I think it's fair to say that
Los Angeles I had it all on fire
805
00:55:08,722 --> 00:55:12,059
to become the place to bring
that intense individuality
806
00:55:12,100 --> 00:55:15,270
from the singer-songwriter to the front.
807
00:55:15,312 --> 00:55:19,525
We developed here something called
"the heat behind the beat",
808
00:55:19,566 --> 00:55:23,695
who were the lawyers who
made it all possible.
809
00:55:23,737 --> 00:55:27,032
The idea of self-publishing, for example.
810
00:55:27,074 --> 00:55:30,035
The new autonomies available
for the singer-songwriter.
811
00:55:30,077 --> 00:55:31,954
These things have been coded here.
812
00:55:34,915 --> 00:55:36,500
Around the end of 1971,
813
00:55:36,542 --> 00:55:41,088
LA was the center of a business
multimillion musical
814
00:55:41,088 --> 00:55:43,215
increasingly directed
by your composers ...
815
00:55:45,133 --> 00:55:49,513
..and among the artist community
selfish in the city,
816
00:55:49,555 --> 00:55:53,767
a young musician emerged as the
voice of collective conscience.
817
00:55:53,809 --> 00:55:58,146
I remember I received an 8 x 10 photo
brilliant from this really handsome guy
818
00:55:58,188 --> 00:56:00,148
with a demo, and I thought,
819
00:56:00,190 --> 00:56:02,067
"You can't beat Bob Dylan."
820
00:56:02,109 --> 00:56:06,280
So my secretary listened to her and
called me the next day and said,
821
00:56:06,321 --> 00:56:09,575
"You must listen to that tape.
This guy is really good. "
822
00:56:09,616 --> 00:56:12,369
823
00:56:12,369 --> 00:56:15,038
824
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:19,209
where the shadows fell...
825
00:56:19,251 --> 00:56:23,672
Jackson Browne moved from Orange County
826
00:56:23,714 --> 00:56:25,591
to Los Angeles in 1966,
827
00:56:25,632 --> 00:56:28,010
age just 17.
828
00:56:28,051 --> 00:56:31,555
He was soon a popular and
much admired favorite
829
00:56:31,597 --> 00:56:35,100
of the Laurel Canyon community.
830
00:56:35,142 --> 00:56:38,604
831
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:44,192
Two years ago I received proposals,
but I didn't really feel prepared.
832
00:56:44,192 --> 00:56:49,698
I realized really early that to make records,
I would have to take a lot of intention,
833
00:56:49,740 --> 00:56:52,659
and that that could not simply
enter not study
834
00:56:52,701 --> 00:56:56,538
as our legendary heroes did
835
00:56:56,580 --> 00:57:00,500
and sat down, and for $ 250,
produced their first masterpiece.
836
00:57:00,542 --> 00:57:04,421
I heard about Jackson through
a woman named Pamela Polland -
837
00:57:04,463 --> 00:57:07,299
P-O-L-L-A-N-D. Alma nice.
838
00:57:07,341 --> 00:57:13,555
Pamela is in Hawaii. When I found Pamela,
she said, "if you think i'm good,
839
00:57:13,597 --> 00:57:15,766
you must find Jackson Browne ".
840
00:57:18,852 --> 00:57:21,855
Musically, he was tremendously respected,
841
00:57:21,897 --> 00:57:23,565
and really served as a criterion
842
00:57:23,607 --> 00:57:26,860
for a large part of the new genre
of singer-songwriters.
843
00:57:26,902 --> 00:57:30,238
844
00:57:32,074 --> 00:57:36,411
Confessional lyrics, beautiful poetry, and
wondering why the world is so fucked up
845
00:57:36,453 --> 00:57:38,914
and why your life is so fucked up.
846
00:57:38,955 --> 00:57:44,920
He is an incredibly seminal artist
important of our time.
847
00:57:44,961 --> 00:57:48,965
When Jackson wrote, "Please don't
confront me with my failures,
848
00:57:49,007 --> 00:57:51,760
"I haven't forgotten them,"
849
00:57:51,802 --> 00:57:54,513
and he was only 17!
850
00:57:54,554 --> 00:57:58,642
851
00:57:58,684 --> 00:58:02,813
852
00:58:02,813 --> 00:58:07,567
Sadness! You are writing
like a man of 60!
853
00:58:07,609 --> 00:58:12,614
"Don't confront me with my failures,
I haven't forgotten them. "
854
00:58:14,408 --> 00:58:15,951
Amazing.
855
00:58:15,992 --> 00:58:17,494
Amazing!
856
00:58:17,494 --> 00:58:22,791
Jackson Browne had the talent, charisma
and appearance to be a star.
857
00:58:24,584 --> 00:58:28,296
What he didn't have was
a recording contract.
858
00:58:28,296 --> 00:58:33,677
David Geffen had been an entrepreneur and an agent, and he
had been well versed in the different aspects of that
859
00:58:33,719 --> 00:58:36,054
music market.
860
00:58:36,054 --> 00:58:40,100
I thought he was putting me
in Columbia or Atlantic.
861
00:58:40,142 --> 00:58:41,977
Suddenly, I decided ...
862
00:58:42,018 --> 00:58:43,937
Hell, I'm going to do this!
863
00:58:43,979 --> 00:58:50,235
I went to see Ahmet Ertegun, played the tapes for him and said,
"You should sign with him. You will make a lot of money."
864
00:58:50,277 --> 00:58:57,617
He said, "I have a lot of money. Why don't you start a
record company? So you could have a lot of money. "So I did.
865
00:58:57,659 --> 00:59:01,371
We use independent producers, or we leave the artists
produce by themselves. Whatever they want.
866
00:59:01,413 --> 00:59:03,582
It is a very artist-oriented company
867
00:59:03,623 --> 00:59:06,835
and whatever they wanted to do, we support it,
or we must be involved.
868
00:59:06,877 --> 00:59:11,006
What I liked most were people
who sang their own songs.
869
00:59:11,047 --> 00:59:16,052
This was what they all had
in common at Asylum Records.
870
00:59:16,094 --> 00:59:18,847
This was the ... gestalt of the day.
871
00:59:18,889 --> 00:59:21,558
He was also everyone's businessman.
872
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,186
Later, we had people mumbling
about conflict of interest
873
00:59:24,227 --> 00:59:31,026
but there was no conflict of interest, because I don't think
who came to charge none of us for managing us.
874
00:59:31,067 --> 00:59:32,194
He was our boss.
875
00:59:32,235 --> 00:59:35,822
The Medici.
O Medici do rock'n'roll.
876
00:59:38,074 --> 00:59:40,535
877
00:59:40,535 --> 00:59:45,457
without crying
878
00:59:45,499 --> 00:59:49,503
879
00:59:49,544 --> 00:59:53,048
The ethos of Asylum artists was an anathema
880
00:59:53,089 --> 00:59:56,510
for the music market conventions,
881
00:59:56,551 --> 01:00:00,305
and Geffen's approach to artists
and repertoires were typically straightforward.
882
01:00:00,347 --> 01:00:04,059
David realized that others
musicians were often
883
01:00:04,059 --> 01:00:08,480
an extremely important source
to discover new talents.
884
01:00:12,526 --> 01:00:16,530
I went to his house, played some
songs for him. Yes.
885
01:00:16,571 --> 01:00:20,951
He knew that when Jackson told him
about John David Souther,
886
01:00:20,992 --> 01:00:25,372
or any order that happened, I don't remember,
he really paid attention.
887
01:00:25,372 --> 01:00:28,375
I don't think every record
that we do is a success,
888
01:00:28,375 --> 01:00:33,588
or that every artist will be a star, but I think
that the music we put on is very valid.
889
01:00:33,630 --> 01:00:35,924
I thought, "Wow. This is just the way
that you think will work.
890
01:00:35,966 --> 01:00:40,345
891
01:00:40,387 --> 01:00:45,559
If we believe in them, we will stay with them. No
we will abandon an artist if he does not sell.
892
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:50,188
not to cry...
893
01:00:50,188 --> 01:00:54,734
Geffen's close relationship with his artists
894
01:00:54,734 --> 01:01:00,532
led Asylum to sign with some of the most talented,
renowned and interesting LA composers.
895
01:01:02,242 --> 01:01:06,872
But just a year after his birth, his
solo artists would produce a band
896
01:01:06,913 --> 01:01:11,501
that would become one of the most well
successful in the history of music.
897
01:01:28,059 --> 01:01:30,937
For any serious musician about
make the big time
898
01:01:30,979 --> 01:01:33,189
LA was the only place to be,
899
01:01:33,231 --> 01:01:39,279
and in 1970, a new wave of artists had
followed the heroes of the western counterculture.
900
01:01:39,321 --> 01:01:41,823
Among them were Glenn Frey,
901
01:01:41,865 --> 01:01:44,326
a guitar player from Detroit,
902
01:01:44,367 --> 01:01:48,371
and JD Souther, a composer from Texas.
903
01:01:51,625 --> 01:01:54,127
Being friends with the local hero
Jackson Browne,
904
01:01:54,169 --> 01:02:00,425
the three young troubadours found cheap accommodation
in a Mexican neighborhood near downtown LA,
905
01:02:00,467 --> 01:02:04,179
the unlikely scenario for
other collective composition
906
01:02:04,179 --> 01:02:08,683
that would transform, once again,
the musical identity of the city.
907
01:02:08,725 --> 01:02:14,022
its heart removed
908
01:02:14,064 --> 01:02:16,566
909
01:02:16,608 --> 01:02:20,654
as I can run...
910
01:02:20,695 --> 01:02:23,156
I moved to Echo Park
911
01:02:23,198 --> 01:02:27,285
and was instantly surrounded by
people coming through this ...
912
01:02:27,327 --> 01:02:30,997
beautiful cloud, this merger
of literature and music
913
01:02:31,039 --> 01:02:34,668
that seemed to occur around
acoustic violations.
