• 1:08
  Speaker 6: I am Brian.

  Speaker 7: I'm Lucy. And we are coming to you live.
• 1:12
  Speaker 8: Via digital recording from Harry Dean Stanton Fest.
• 1:36
  Speaker 9: So you've been here in the midst of it for
• 1:39
  Speaker 9: days now, Lucy.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Has it only been days?
• 1:42
  Speaker 10: Months.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Months, years.
• 1:44
  Speaker 9: A year since last time.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, we are on day three now.
• 1:48
  Speaker 9: How has it been?
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: It has been, like, beyond anything I possibly could have hoped,
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: I guess, is the short answer. I'm exhausted, totally sleep-deprived.
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: I've learned a few lessons, one of which is, well,
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: I can't say that you don't want to do a
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: bar event that lasts until 3 in the morning because, honestly, like,
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: I think that was one of the most fun things
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: that we did.
• 2:09
  Speaker 9: I was kind of sad that I didn't make it there.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I was very sad that you didn't make it.
• 2:13
  Speaker 9: Nobody else was coming. I was trying to get, like,
• 2:15
  Speaker 9: a ride share there, but slackers. Yeah.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you need better friends.
• 2:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah, tell me about it. You've met them. They're all
• 2:23
  Speaker 9: on the show.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, wait, where is everybody? I need better friends.
• 2:26
  Speaker 9: That's what I'm saying.
• 2:27
  Speaker 8: What the heck, people?
• 2:27
  Speaker 9: They're slack asses.
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so Friday night, wait, should you want to kind
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: of know what we've been doing?
• 2:34
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Is that what you're getting at?
• 2:35
  Speaker 9: That sounds like a good place to be.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: Friday night, we showed Pretty in Pink, and we showed
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: it in Triangle Park in downtown Lexington, Kentucky. And I
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: don't believe they'd ever showed films there before. Downtown Lexington
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: Corporation just started this new series where every other Friday
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: they're going to show a film in the park under
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: the stars.
• 2:54
  Speaker 9: It is glorious.
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: And so we basically asked them if we could buddy
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: up and have this be the first day of our
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: festival and we could show Pretty in Pink.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: And they're like, well, we were thinking about showing that anyway.
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: So it just worked out great. They did all the work.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: They're amazing. And we just kind of got to hang
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: out and have fun.
• 3:11
  Speaker 9: That looked like an awesome screen, by the way.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: It was an awesome screen.
• 3:14
  Speaker 9: I totally want one of those.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: No, the guy that has that business is, maybe you
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: need to get into that business.
• 3:19
  Speaker 9: Maybe he needs to hook me up.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: He's something else, and the sound was great. I mean,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: it was.
• 3:24
  Speaker 9: I mean, I was kind of wanting to do that
• 3:26
  Speaker 9: with our festivities that will never take place because, again,
• 3:30
  Speaker 9: everybody's a slack ass and there's no money. But aside
• 3:33
  Speaker 9: from those problems, I've been working on our own festival
• 3:36
  Speaker 9: for years now. So, yeah, we need to bring him
• 3:38
  Speaker 9: in on that.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: All right, let's make it happen.
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: But it also looked like, again, I'm like the rest
• 3:43
  Speaker 9: of the world just hooked up through Facebook at this point.
• 3:46
  Speaker 9: Based on the photos you posted, it looked like a
• 3:48
  Speaker 9: huge turnout, actually.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd heard numbers from 500 to 700.
• 3:52
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 3:53
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: No kidding, right?
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: So, sadly, they didn't all buy t-shirts, but they were
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: all there.
• 3:59
  Speaker 9: What were they thinking?
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a great turnout. I don't know if
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: you caught any of this, but... They decided the Downtown
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: Lexington Corporation had the stroke of genius. There may or
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: may not have been drinking involved. I'm not going to
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: get into that. I'm not actually supposed to get into that.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: But anyway, it came up that maybe they should dye
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: the fountains pink in honor of Pretty in Pink. And
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: then they worked with Susan Komen, and they made that
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: a sponsor. So there was a lot of, what's that word?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Synergy?
• 4:29
  Speaker 9: Was there synergy?
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Is that what was going on? Something like that.
• 4:33
  Speaker 9: I don't know. It could go the other way. There's
• 4:34
  Speaker 9: a lot of backstabbing. It's politics.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: No, no, it was perfect. I mean, it was a
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: great thing.
• 4:39
  Speaker 9: Everybody won.
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: But anyway, so they put the dye in, and I
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: guess there was a volume issue. So they put it
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: in Tuesday night. So Wednesday morning, people go out to
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: Triangle Park. And keep in mind, there's fountains all the
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: way around the park. It surrounds the park. So it's
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: very dramatic when you walk to the park, and it
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: is blood red. It is like the city is.
• 5:02
  Speaker 9: Bleeding.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: It is like the gates of hell. And everybody was
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: freaking out. And they were like, oh, my God, everybody's
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: getting fired. Nobody's going to have a job tomorrow. I
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: think ultimately it wound up working in everybody's benefit because
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: it got actually national news.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: It was in, like, USA Today.
• 5:19
  Speaker 9: Lexington sits on top of a Hellmouth. This just in.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: It was the best screw-up of all time. And I
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: guess there were actually rumors at the beginning. There was
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: a lot of conjecture and theories like, is this Louisville?
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: Did Louisville fans come in? Because it's right next to
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: Rep Arena. Are we about to be engaged in a
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: prank war?
• 5:38
  Speaker 9: Except the games are all over. Yes, but the rivalry
• 5:42
  Speaker 9: is not.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but anyway, there's a lot of theories. And ultimately,
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: it did finally turn a really lovely shade of appropriate
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: pink for Friday night.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: So everyone won.
• 5:53
  Speaker 9: That explained why I drove past and there were kids
• 5:55
  Speaker 9: splashing around and Actually, I was seeing it from a
• 5:59
  Speaker 9: weird angle, so it looked purple. So maybe it's just
• 6:01
  Speaker 9: diluted itself down to purple now.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: The other thing being it is dye. These children are
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: all going home with pink clothes.
• 6:07
  Speaker 9: Yeah, they were up to their waist in it. So, yeah,
• 6:10
  Speaker 9: have fun, kids. And parents have to clean that.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I guess there could still be backlash. But anyway,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: so that was Friday night. There's always backlash. That was
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Friday night. That was fantastic. And then.
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: Saturday we showed Straight Time here at the library. The
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: library in downtown Lexington has a great new theater. It's
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: been fully renovated. You're about to experience it. The sound
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: is incredible. The picture is incredible. All the screenings are free.
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: It's just kind of maybe the greatest thing that's happened
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: to me ever.
• 6:41
  Speaker 9: I don't have any of that.
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: So anyway, we showed Straight Time yesterday, and that was
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: a lot of fun. I hadn't seen it on the
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: big screen ever. That's one we should talk about sometime.
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: That's a movie that I love, love, love, except for
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: one element, which I hate, hate, hate. And I really
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: kind of want to do my own, like, not director's cut.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: I just want to edit the girl out of it entirely.
• 7:02
  Speaker 9: This sounds like a Fred review.
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: Oh, Fred.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Where are you, Fred?
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: And then last night we showed Repo Man at the
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: Green Lantern, which is why I'm so tired. And that was...
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: Maybe the most fun I've ever had. My friend's band
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: was kind enough. Like I threw out this idea one night,
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: you guys want to cover the soundtrack beginning to end?
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: And they're like, yeah. And they did it.
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: Like three months they practiced and learned it and they
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: brought in guest vocalists and they just rocked the heck.
• 7:31
  Speaker 9: Out of it.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: It was like my 13-year-old girl dream came true last night.
• 7:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I've always thought that is kind of a cool idea, and, like,
• 7:41
  Speaker 9: nobody ever does that.
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 7:43
  Speaker 9: Like, there's several times when I've thought it would be
• 7:44
  Speaker 9: kind of cool, because you'll get, like, an epic soundtrack,
• 7:47
  Speaker 9: and it's like, you could just kind of go with
• 7:49
  Speaker 9: that and, you know, play the whole thing, and nobody
• 7:52
  Speaker 9: ever does. So, yeah, I thought it was kind of
• 7:54
  Speaker 9: cool when you put that together.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: Well, a friend of mine, when I had the idea,
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: I told somebody, and they were like, yeah, good luck. Like, fine,
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: that'd be great, but nobody's ever going to commit to
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: learn the songs.
• 8:04
  Speaker 9: They're going to bail.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: They're going to flake.
• 8:06
  Speaker 9: It's a good idea when you're not the musicians involved.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: But Palisades, I mean, they are amazing.
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: Like, they were so committed, and they're such musicians, and
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: they loved the material anyway. It was part of their childhoods,
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: most of them. And so it just worked out beautifully.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: So huge props to them. And then we had a
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: couple more great punk rock bands. No Excuse and All-American Werewolves.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: And, yeah, that was the night. It's good stuff all.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: The way around.
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: And then no sleep.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: And then no sleep. But that's okay.
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: Who needs sleep?
• 8:39
  Speaker 12: Oh, wow.
• 8:42
  Speaker 9: I guess that at least sets the scene for us
• 8:45
  Speaker 9: loitering around here this week. The only other thing, just
• 8:49
  Speaker 9: to sort of pretend like we have our usual framework...
• 8:52
  Speaker 9: I would throw out at least something I'd seen. I
• 8:54
  Speaker 9: didn't know if you've seen anything non-related since last we spoke,
• 8:58
  Speaker 9: so you can think about that, I guess. Or I
• 9:01
  Speaker 9: was kind of curious to see if you'd seen this one,
• 9:03
  Speaker 9: which I just watched yesterday, Source Code.
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: Yes, I have seen Source Code. Oh, but can we
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: talk about this without crazy spoilers?
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: Um.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 9:13
  Speaker 9: I mean, I wasn't going to go massively into it,
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: but just sort of give the general, again, if we
• 9:18
  Speaker 9: need to add that to the list, I guess.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: All right, well, you go, and I will think in
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: my head about how not to say what I'm going
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: to say.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Nice. Yeah.
• 9:28
  Speaker 9: It was pretty interesting. I had fun with it, I guess.
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: You know, Jake Gyllenhaal does a good job, which he
• 9:35
  Speaker 9: usually does. I mean, he's, you know, turned in stellar
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: performances all the way back to Bubble Boy, so, you know, he's...
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: He's a fine actor, and I think, you know, this
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: may strain from geek activities into maybe a little more nerdy.
• 9:50
  Speaker 9: I think I like time loop movies, which it's funny
• 9:53
  Speaker 9: that that's become its own sub-genre now. But, yeah, I
• 9:57
  Speaker 9: don't know. I like those, and I like seeing... what
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: they do with them and where they go with it
• 10:02
  Speaker 9: so I think from that angle it was kind of
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: fun and like different than most of the others for
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: a couple of different reasons you get into a weird
• 10:11
  Speaker 9: science involved that I'm just kind of like okay I
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: mean I guess the science is weird in all of
• 10:16
  Speaker 9: those for it to even exist but Yeah, that one
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: gets into a whole different territory, and then you can
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: do different things, or in theory, I suppose, you can
• 10:26
  Speaker 9: do different things because of that as the story goes on. So, yeah,
• 10:30
  Speaker 9: I think that was all kind of interesting, and I
• 10:33
  Speaker 9: don't know. What were your thoughts? I guess non-spoilery for
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: the moment.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Non-spoilery for the moment.
• 10:38
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: Okay, I'm not going to spoil this thing. For me,
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: I felt like there were three different endings. And if
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: the movie had ended on the first ending, it would
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: have been my favorite movie of that year. Was that
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: last year? It would have been my favorite movie of
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: last year. Then there's another ending, and then there's an
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: even less satisfying ending after that, which just felt like
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: an audience ending. And I felt like it completely betrayed
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: the narrative logic of the film.
• 11:13
  Speaker 9: I think it's, like, the second one that annoys me. Like,
• 11:16
  Speaker 9: the last one, they almost at least set it up, and, like,
• 11:20
  Speaker 9: it makes sense within the nerdy time science of it,
• 11:24
  Speaker 9: but then, yeah, I mean, it is sort of a cop-out,
• 11:27
  Speaker 9: but at the same time, it at least sort of
• 11:29
  Speaker 9: makes sense. It's that second one, I'm just like, I
• 11:30
  Speaker 9: don't really care about this nonsense.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Well, if they'd stuck with the first one, I would
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: have been stoked.
• 11:36
  Speaker 9: The first one's pretty good.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Moon, did you see Moon, Duncan Jones's directorial debut?
• 11:40
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: I assume that was his debut.
• 11:42
  Speaker 9: I believe it was, and it's pretty damn impressive.
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: It's perfect.
• 11:45
  Speaker 9: Even if it wasn't his debut, it's a pretty impressive movie.
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: I worshipped that movie, and it was one of those
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: movies where just watching it, I was like, I can't
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: believe I'm actually watching something this good right now, this
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: original and this interesting, and this is like a person
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: with a voice and a vision.
• 12:00
  Speaker 9: And the studio didn't totally screw it up.
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah. It's nice to have your dad be David Bowie sometimes.
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: You get to be weird and have that be accepted.
• 12:08
  Speaker 9: I guess so. Yeah.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: But for this one, I was disappointed.
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: Again, if they kept the first ending that I think
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: would maybe not satisfy most people, but I felt worked,
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: then I would have liked it. So I'm just pretending
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: that that's how it ended.
• 12:27
  Speaker 9: Again, without even going too far into it, it enters
• 12:31
  Speaker 9: into this weird sort of hang time, too, where it's
• 12:33
  Speaker 9: like you kind of get the big satisfactory moment of
• 12:37
  Speaker 9: the plot that's been going on, And then you get
• 12:40
  Speaker 9: like a 10, 15 minute period of, okay, what are
• 12:43
  Speaker 9: we going to do now? Like pick something. I mean,
• 12:46
  Speaker 9: it just goes on for way long. Like you could
• 12:48
  Speaker 9: have wrapped that up in like two or three minutes. Instead,
• 12:51
  Speaker 9: it's a good 10 or more. I'm just like. when
• 12:56
  Speaker 9: does the rest of the movie start or roll credits
• 12:58
  Speaker 9: one or the.
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: Other and honestly I wanted it to be good so
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: badly like I was already so invested and so loving
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: it at that two hour mark or whatever it was
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: that I was trying to come up with theories to
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: make the other endings okay like is this meta cinematic
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: is it about how don't worry about narrative logic because
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: it's all just filmed them I didn't even.
• 13:18
  Speaker 9: I guess you can put those on all of the
• 13:21
  Speaker 9: endings involved again I mean.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: But Jake Gyllenhaal, who knew I was going to like
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: that dude?
• 13:28
  Speaker 9: Had you had problems with him before?
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just, I don't know. They're not rational.
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: They're just more emotionally based.
• 13:38
  Speaker 9: Okay, I don't think I've had those. I haven't totally
• 13:42
  Speaker 9: been that invested in him one way or the other,
• 13:44
  Speaker 9: but he's turned in a few decent performances.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I won't get on my Donnie Darko rant.
• 13:50
  Speaker 9: You love it?
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: I'll save it for another time. Oh, yeah, it's just
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: the two of us in a conference room right now.
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: I don't want things to get ugly.
• 13:58
  Speaker 9: Original recipe or extra director's cut crispy?
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I haven't actually. I didn't bother with this.
• 14:03
  Speaker 9: See, I haven't either, mostly because I don't like what
• 14:06
  Speaker 9: he did.
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 14:07
  Speaker 9: It gets ridiculous. What it sounds like is we need
• 14:10
  Speaker 9: an entire Darko episode.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: We might, actually.
• 14:14
  Speaker 9: A Gloves Off Darko episode.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, I kind of like that idea.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 14:19
  Speaker 9: I mean, I've already invested, again, we'd be going backwards,
• 14:22
  Speaker 9: but I've already invested way more of my life into S.
• 14:24
  Speaker 9: Darko than anybody should. Yeah, I spent way too much
• 14:29
  Speaker 9: time figuring out what they wanted to say was going
• 14:32
  Speaker 9: on in S. Darko for what is not a good movie,
• 14:35
  Speaker 9: but yet I invested way too much time into trying
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: to figure out Again, science involved, the fictional science involved,
• 14:43
  Speaker 9: and what they were trying to do and where they
• 14:45
  Speaker 9: were going.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: Oh, Lord.
• 14:47
  Speaker 9: And it's a mess on top of that. So, yeah,
• 14:50
  Speaker 9: we could go retroactively and go with the first one
• 14:53
  Speaker 9: somewhere down the line. So we can save that.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, I look forward to that. So that the fountains
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: won't have to run red again.
• 15:01
  Speaker 9: Just with all the random passersby. We'd be fine. So,
• 15:06
  Speaker 9: have you seen anything non-Harry Dean Stanton Fest related?
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: I'm not sure I've done anything non-Harry Dean Stanton Fest
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: related or thought anything non-Harry Dean Stanton Fest related.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this has been pretty consuming.
• 15:22
  Speaker 9: I would assume so. It's quite an undertaking.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Actually, that's not true.
• 15:26
  Speaker 9: Take that back.
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: When I was in Los Angeles last weekend, again, preparing
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: for Harry Dean Stanton Fest, I did want to take
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: that time to see every movie that I could possibly see.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: That I didn't think that I would be able to
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: see here.
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: So I saw Bernie, the new Richard Linklater film, which
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: I loved. For the first half hour, I was like, oh,
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: this is terrible, because it just felt like this really awkward,
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: bad satire, and then you kind of realize that, no,
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: it's really got a lot of heart, and it's a
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: really interesting story, and they're not, it just, it feels,
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: it's sort of that small town-y thing, sort of is
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: very grating at first, and then you realize that it's
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: affectionate and not.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: demeaning.
• 16:06
  Speaker 9: I just knew it by title, and I knew there
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: was a new one coming out, but yeah, I haven't
• 16:10
  Speaker 9: even heard the premise, really, so.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Do what you like to tell you.
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: If you want to. I guess that is important. Non-spoilery,
• 16:16
  Speaker 9: but feel free.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't actually know how to.
• 16:20
  Speaker 9: It hasn't opened everywhere. Not all of us get to
• 16:23
  Speaker 9: jet off to L.A.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's... I didn't know anything going into it.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: I think that.
• 16:30
  Speaker 9: If it's better not knowing, you can just say, go
• 16:33
  Speaker 9: seek it out, I suppose.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, go seek it out, because I don't know if
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: what I'm about to say is a spoiler or not,
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: but it's Jack Black being, again, at first it was like, oh,
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: here's Jack Black being Jack Black, but it's not. His
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: performance is actually one of the best things that I've
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: seen in a really long time.
• 16:48
  Speaker 9: He's got potential to be more than he usually is.
• 16:52
  Speaker 9: He just rarely makes use of it.
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and he sings a lot in this one. I
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: was like, oh, God, it's Jack Black singing again. So really,
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: like the first half hour... It just takes a little
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: while to ease into it. But once you're in, it's
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: all good stuff.
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: He was just trying to do cross promotion with the
• 17:05
  Speaker 9: new album. Which I believe just came out. So probably
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: not by accident.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: And then, oh, I saw Dark Shadows, too. And that
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: movie I had the exact opposite relationship with. The first
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: half hour I was like, oh, my God, this is
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: not going to be terrible. I'm kind of loving this.
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: And then I realized that there was no story. And
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: it was all, like, boring and the same joke over
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: and over again. And just so self-indulgent. It kind of
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: broke my heart.
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: We might get to that. I don't know. We had
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: somebody who wanted to talk about that in a future episode.
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: So we'll see, I guess. I don't know. I have
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: yet to make it there because I didn't know if
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: we were going to or not. So maybe we'll come
• 17:45
  Speaker 9: back to that as well. You never can tell on
• 17:47
  Speaker 9: the show. Anything else we need to go into here
• 17:54
  Speaker 9: before we get knee-deep into today's Harry Dean festivities?
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I've got to go set up shirts.
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: Which I have to get mine. If you have any extra,
• 18:05
  Speaker 9: you can plug those, I suppose.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, yeah.
• 18:08
  Speaker 9: Because they are awesome. I wouldn't do that if I didn't, like, again,
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: I'm getting mine. It's freaking awesome.
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: Well, it's basically how, well, theoretically, it's how we're financing
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: the festival this year.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: We have not yet broken, like, even on the shirts.
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: So we may actually be taking a loss on the
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: shirts in addition to everything else. But I guess we
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: will be selling them for a while. Right now they're
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: available at Morris Books here in Lexington. And at some point,
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: I guess soon, like tomorrow when I can think.
• 18:37
  Speaker 9: About things again. As soon as you wake up in
• 18:38
  Speaker 9: a couple of days.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Then I think we're going to put them online. Maybe
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: on Etsy.
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: Our artist, Stacey Early, like half of the proceeds benefit
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: the Film League. Well, more specifically, the Harry Dean Stanton Festival.
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: We'll all go back into the festival. And then the
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: other half goes to our artist, Stacey Early, who's phenomenal.
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: Very cool.
• 18:57
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I certainly understand that. Because it was funny how
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: somebody on Facebook, it was like a week or so ago,
• 19:04
  Speaker 9: said something about the t-shirts and mugs that we do.
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: And he's like, yeah, you know, that's really cool that
• 19:10
  Speaker 9: you guys do that to help raise money for the show.
• 19:13
  Speaker 9: I was like, dude, I don't make a damn thing
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: on them. Like, I made those because I want to
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: make those. Because I think there needs to be shirts
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: and mugs. Now, am I getting anything?
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: No.
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: Even for as much as they go for, I would
• 19:26
  Speaker 9: have to be, like, charging ten times as much to
• 19:29
  Speaker 9: make a dime off of it. So, yeah. If you
• 19:31
  Speaker 9: guys want one, that's fine, but don't think I'm making
• 19:34
  Speaker 9: anything off of it because I'm not. I'm breaking even
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: and you guys get a cool product.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Which is good enough.
• 19:40
  Speaker 9: But, yeah, so same goes for you. Just, you know,
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: support all of us by having cool shirts and stuff.
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: so exactly so i'll plug it again later but you
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: want to go to harrydeanstantonfest.com.
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: Yes harrydeanstantonfest.com or harrydeanstantonfest.org we have all our bases covered
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: because i messed up on the poster and put the
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: wrong address and it was like crap now i have
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: to buy the other address That's just how we run
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: things around here.
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: I can't say anything. I own so many internet addresses.
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: And it's mostly just because I'm like, well, I don't
• 20:17
  Speaker 9: want anybody else to have it. I'm a greedy bastard
• 20:19
  Speaker 9: and I want to stake my claim all over the internet.
• 20:22
  Speaker 9: So anything that sort of, kind of, I'm making use of, yeah,
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: it's mine.
• 20:26
  Speaker 11: So, mine.
• 20:28

• 22:23
  Speaker 8: You, Bill.
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: No, I sure hope you don't, Billy.
• 22:26
  Speaker 11: And he was just a kid. Billy the Kid. Patrick F.
• 22:38
  Speaker 12: Garrett.
• 22:39
  Speaker 11: He was the most dangerous outlaw in the territory. So
• 22:46
  Speaker 11: they made him sheriff.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Pat Garrett had just one friend. Billy the Kid.
• 22:51
  Speaker 11: And just one job.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: Kill him.
• 23:00
  Speaker 11: Now Sam Peckinpah, the director who unleashed the Wild Bunch,
• 23:05
  Speaker 11: takes a hard new look at two old friends, Pat
• 23:08
  Speaker 11: Garrett and Billy the Kid. They were legends in their
• 23:11
  Speaker 11: own time. Times have changed.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Times, maybe. Not me.
• 23:19
  Speaker 11: Get to it.

  Speaker 4: He'll track you down, Billy.
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: And gets it.

  Speaker 8: You know, this ain't no time of year to go
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: looking for somebody.
• 23:27
  Speaker 11: I don't know where he went.
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: Where?
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Where? I know where the kid's at. I'll tell you
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: where he's at.

• 23:59
  Speaker 12: Say that Pat Garrett's got your number.
• 24:04
  Speaker 15: Or sleep with one eye open when you wonder.
• 24:12
  Speaker 13: If every little sound just.
• 24:15
  Speaker 16: Might be thunder.
• 24:18
  Speaker 15: Thunder from the power of his gun.
• 24:23
  Speaker 11: Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. Legends in their own time.
• 24:28
  Speaker 11: But time... was running.
• 24:30
  Speaker 13: Out all right.
• 24:48
  Speaker 16: So we're here with donnie fritz um i guess However
• 24:52
  Speaker 16: you want to go about it, if you want to
• 24:54
  Speaker 16: focus mostly on Harry Dean, since we're at the Harry
• 24:57
  Speaker 16: Dean Fest, or if you want to go into your
• 25:00
  Speaker 16: stuff as well. But I guess, how did you first
• 25:03
  Speaker 16: meet Harry Dean?
• 25:04
  Speaker 8: Well, I met Harry Dean in 1970. I just started
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: with Chris Christopherson on the road, and we were playing.
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: We had to do a bunch of shows out in
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: Los Angeles at the Troubadour Club. And Harry was there
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: every night at the bar. And we just got to
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: be good friends, me and Chris and Harry and Billy Swan.
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: We got to know each other real well. And through
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: that meeting with Harry, he was up for a role.
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: He got a role in a movie. Well, he suggested
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: to the producers for them to look at Chris for
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: the lead. The movie called Cisco Pike, which.
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: Chris went ahead and got the part, thanks to Harry Dean, really.
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: Harry got it.
• 25:56
  Speaker 16: Had that been before Chris was acting?
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: First movie. He had been to Peru with Dennis Hopper.
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: And it's Dennis' follow-up to Easy Rider. You know, he
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: was just in it kind of singing a few songs
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: or something. And the movie never really got released either.
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: So really, by rights, it was the first movie he did.
• 26:17
  Speaker 10: And....
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: Had a big party and he carried the movie and
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: co-starred with Gene Hackman. So it was a pretty big
• 26:26
  Speaker 8: step for him. And thanks to Harry, uh, that's how
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: he got the part. And, uh, so he just built
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: from then on, you know, the next movie that we
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: were all in together was Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. And, uh, so,
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: and Harry was a close friend from then on. Every
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: time I was in Los Angeles, we would get together and, uh,
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: I got to do another movie with him later on,
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: thanks to Warren Oates, another Kentucky guy. Chris and I
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: did another Peckinpah movie, Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia,
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: which Warren was the star of. And Warren got me
• 27:06
  Speaker 8: in a movie that Harry was in, too, the cockfighter. So,
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: you know, it just kept building. And every time I
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: was in Los Angeles, I'd try to see Harry whenever
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: I was out there.
• 27:17
  Speaker 16: What was, I guess, the shooting with Sam Peckinpah like?
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: It was extremely intense. You know, I always said that
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: Sam was one of the most complicated guys I ever
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: met in my life because one second he could be
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: the nicest guy most gentle person. And then that next,
• 27:38
  Speaker 8: he could be the most cruel person I've ever known
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: in my life. He just had that old school... Some
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: of those other directors from the old days were like that.
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: Bottom line, of course, they made great movies or they
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: made money from the studios. But anyway, he was a
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: brilliant director. And he was great to me. I got
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: to say, he was always... he looked after me there,
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: especially on Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. Because he
• 28:11
  Speaker 8: asked me, no, he told me, he said, I want
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: you to be in this movie. We were down in
• 28:15
  Speaker 8: Mexico with him, Chris and I. This was way before
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: they started shooting. And he just said, out of the
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: blue one day, he said, I want you to be
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: in this movie. I said, well, man, that's a great
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: compliment because I was a huge movie freak and I said, well,
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: I've never acted before. He said, that doesn't matter. Just
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: do what I tell you, and you'll be fine. So
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: it worked out good, and then he used me on
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: two other movies, which he certainly didn't have to do.
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: I was always grateful to him for that. And we
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: became very, very close friends. But in answer to your question,
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: it was very.
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: You just never knew what was going to happen. The
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: movies were so violent. The two, like Pat Garrett and
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: Bring Me the Head of Alfredo, they were so damn violent.
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: It kind of carried on to the location sometimes. Sam
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: was getting a little worse as he went along. His
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: health and his drinking and whatever. But it was a
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: very interesting, very learning experience for me, I'll say that.
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: I learned a lot on those movies.
• 29:34
  Speaker 16: He's known for being very specific, especially about the action
• 29:38
  Speaker 16: scenes and the violence.
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 29:40
  Speaker 16: How was he as far as like making sure everything
• 29:43
  Speaker 16: took place the way that he wanted.
• 29:45
  Speaker 8: To oh and he was you know he was uh
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: you had it had to be exactly the way he
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: wanted it and uh but he was he was great
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: with explaining it to me like the first thing i
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: did on pat garrett i guess somebody never acted before
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: and he says we we filmed there was a it's
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: a saloon's name me and bob bob was in the
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: scene uh jim colburn and uh chill wheels richard bright
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: and another guy so But he said, we're going to
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: film up to where Donnie gets knocked out of the chair.
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: I had no idea that was going to happen. Not
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: only I was nervous and scared to death about being
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: in a movie with him directing and all these great actors.
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: He said, you've got to learn how to do a stunt.
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: You've got to learn how to fall. He said, the
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: camera's going to be right in front of you. So anyway,
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: we worked it out. It took a few times. He
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: was mostly worried about how Bob hit me and didn't
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: worry about how I was doing. Anyway, like I said,
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: it was just a wonderful experience for somebody, a kid
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: from Alabama who had no way in the world I'd
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: get to be, especially a big-budget Western with Sam. And
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: it was just a dream come true.
• 31:17
  Speaker 16: I guess just like Harry Dean.
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Harry, I got to say, Harry, just watching the documentary,
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: you see what kind of guy he was. He's an extremely,
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: obviously talented, he's a genius in his own way. There's
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: another one that, like I said, I stayed in touch with.
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: We'd go out a lot at night. There was a
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: guy that, he's 86 now. or 85 he'll be 86
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: he still stays up all night he'll go to bed
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: about 7 in the morning smokes continually like I said
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: in the documentary he does everything wrong but hell he's
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: turned out he's in better shape than most of us
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: a lot better shape than I've been in so he's
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: just one of a kind there's nobody else like Harry
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: Dean Stanton.
• 32:16
  Speaker 16: Well, you came in from the music scene. I guess,
• 32:20
  Speaker 16: what's his connection to music? Because he's definitely been involved
• 32:25
  Speaker 16: in music his whole life.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: So how did you two work together?
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I was, of course, that's how I started.
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: I'm a songwriter first. And I started out in the
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: muscle cells in that scene when it first started. So
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: I went through those years and we learned as we
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: went along and got a hit or two. And I
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: just kept building after that. Then when I got with
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: Chris about 10 years later, to see his career grow
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: was incredible. Then we met, and then Harry was around
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: all the time. And Harry loves music, as you well know.
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: And you know what he really does well is the
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: Spanish music, Mexican. So he's just incredible. He and Chris,
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: it didn't show. Well, this was on the Peckinpah documentary.
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: They did a song from the soundtrack of The Wild Hunts.
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: It was unbelievable. And it was some Spanish songs they
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: used in the movie. But he is so good, and
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: he really works hard at doing it right. And I
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: don't know. He's one of those guys. And he can
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: do it. He can do it. We've done some shows
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: with him, you know. Or he'll come whenever we was playing.
• 33:51
  Speaker 8: When we were playing in Los Angeles, he'd show up
• 33:55
  Speaker 8: and do a song or two with us. It was
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: always great to have him there on stage with us.
• 34:03
  Speaker 9: He still knows how to play.
• 34:05
  Speaker 16: Has his wits about him.
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. Amazing.
• 34:11
  Speaker 9: I guess you say you ended up in a few
• 34:13
  Speaker 9: other movies as time went on. Is it something you...
• 34:16
  Speaker 9: ever wanted to get into seriously?
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: Well, you know, I wanted to, but I didn't think
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: that it would ever be possible because I spent my
• 34:23
  Speaker 8: whole life committed to music, and that's what I did.
• 34:28
  Speaker 8: You know, I'm a songwriter, and I was very blessed,
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: very lucky to get a lot of songs cut that
• 34:34
  Speaker 8: kept me going, and also years with Chris at the
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: same time. But in the very early days, I did
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: get a lot of songs recorded, and over the years,
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: I've been very lucky. I've got But that's really my
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: main occupation. But I loved movies all my life. My
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: mother used to take me to movies all the time.
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: And so I always loved movies. But I was just
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: thinking how to work with a little kid from Alabama
• 35:03
  Speaker 8: who had no training or anything like that, knew nothing
• 35:07
  Speaker 8: about it.
• 35:08
  Speaker 11: Just.
• 35:10
  Speaker 8: How could he ever get in a movie? Well, it
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: just worked out. I was very lucky. It was the
• 35:15
  Speaker 8: right place at the right time. And like before Peckinpah,
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: before Pat Garrett, which was really my first part I did,
• 35:26
  Speaker 8: you know, where I had a part and went from
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: the first of the movie to the end of the movie.
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: We did soundtracks for Cisco Pike And we did a
• 35:40
  Speaker 8: scene for a movie in Blooming Love. That was Chris's
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: second movie. And so I kind of used to being
• 35:47
  Speaker 8: around cameras and movies and stuff a little bit, but
• 35:51
  Speaker 8: I was no way prepared for what was coming with
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: Sam Peckinpah. But Sam just took a liking to me
• 35:57
  Speaker 8: when we first met. And like I said, Chris and
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: I wound up going to Mexico and spending about a
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: week with him down there. And that's when he said
• 36:06
  Speaker 8: he wanted me to be in a movie. So, you know,
• 36:08
  Speaker 8: it was just pure luck, I think, you know. I
• 36:13
  Speaker 8: just happened to see a guy that he said he
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: liked the way I looked. He said, if you were
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: living in Fort Sumner, New Mexico, during this time period,
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: what would you be doing? I said, you got me there,
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: I'd probably be in Billy the Kid's gang. Probably, I
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: wouldn't be no farmer or rancher. He said, that's why
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: I want you in the movie. You looked the part,
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: so I said, okay.
• 36:44
  Speaker 16: Well, just while I've got you here, I don't think
• 36:46
  Speaker 16: it's Harry Dean related, but I was a huge Convoy fan.
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: Oh, wow, cool.
• 36:51
  Speaker 8: Well, you know, to me, it was a lot of
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: fun doing that movie. There was a lot of conflict.
• 37:00
  Speaker 8: In all of Sam's movies, there was always a lot
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: of trouble and everything. But overall, I remember we went
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: down to Albuquerque about like a May of 77. And
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: we worked on that movie all through the summer. There's
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: the interstate between Albuquerque and Santa Fe is where we
• 37:21
  Speaker 8: filmed all that stuff. So I just had great memories of.
• 37:28
  Speaker 8: Uh, being there and watching, uh, these, uh, send these
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: great stuff. I mean, I, I had a lot of
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: great friends that, that I already known from other, the
• 37:39
  Speaker 8: other Peckinpah movies that, that were the stunt guys. And
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: it was great hanging out with them for two or
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: three months, you know, and, and they were so many
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: stunts in that movie. And, and I got to know
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: Bert Young real well, who became a lifelong friend. He's
• 37:54
  Speaker 8: still my, I talked to him this past year. He's a,
• 37:57
  Speaker 8: just one of my good good friends that was one
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: of the good things that came out of that i
• 38:02
  Speaker 8: got i got to be good friends with burt so
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: uh overall it was uh it was a good experience
• 38:10
  Speaker 8: uh we went to a screening of it now they
• 38:14
  Speaker 8: took sam off or he took himself off of that
• 38:17
  Speaker 8: movie when they were editing it and um we were
• 38:23
  Speaker 8: out there, I say, me and Chris and the band,
• 38:26
  Speaker 8: we were all out there during this time period, and
• 38:29
  Speaker 8: they had a screening of it downtown, so we all went, and,
• 38:33
  Speaker 8: because I saw Sam the next day, and he asked
• 38:37
  Speaker 8: me what I thought, and I said, well, I thought,
• 38:41
  Speaker 8: you know, you did great for, you made a movie,
• 38:44
  Speaker 8: a pretty good movie out of a terrible song, you know, and,
• 38:48
  Speaker 8: And I said, I was on, and this is one, like,
• 38:50
  Speaker 8: Sam could just scream at you for the, at the least.
• 38:55
  Speaker 8: So I'm talking to the guy, and I said, well,
• 38:57
  Speaker 8: the only thing I was really, and I said, the
• 39:00
  Speaker 8: only thing I was really disappointed was Burt Young. And
• 39:03
  Speaker 8: he jumped in and he said, what the hell you mean?
• 39:06
  Speaker 8: Burt's one of our best actors. And he thought I
• 39:08
  Speaker 8: was saying something bad about his acting. I said, I'm
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: not talking about his acting. I love his, and I said,
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: he's a good friend. I said, the fact is, he's
• 39:17
  Speaker 8: not in the damn movie. They cut most of his
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: stuff out. I said, that's why I'm disappointed. Nothing to
• 39:23
  Speaker 8: do with what he did in the movie. He said, well, see,
• 39:27
  Speaker 8: they did that actually they took me off the movie
• 39:31
  Speaker 8: I had no part of that it was a great
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: time it was a great time.
• 39:37
  Speaker 16: So I guess you're still out there playing.
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah still playing shows and still writing and just had
• 39:46
  Speaker 8: a great A great thing happened with one of my
• 39:50
  Speaker 8: old songs that I wrote with Troy Seals, a great songwriter.
• 39:53
  Speaker 8: It's on the new Rolling Stones album. So that just
• 39:58
  Speaker 8: out of nowhere happened. I mean, I knew that Keith
• 40:01
  Speaker 8: had cut it. I mean, they cut the song about
• 40:04
  Speaker 8: 35 years ago when they were cutting Some Girls. And
• 40:09
  Speaker 8: they reissued Some Girls. They remixed it, remastered it. and
• 40:15
  Speaker 8: put two songs, like a two-disc thing, and he chose
• 40:19
  Speaker 8: 10 songs that they cut during that time period, and
• 40:23
  Speaker 8: one of them was We Had It All, a song
• 40:25
  Speaker 8: me and Troy wrote, Troy Sills. So that was a
• 40:30
  Speaker 8: big thrill.
• 40:32
  Speaker 16: Do residuals work differently now, having done it for years
• 40:36
  Speaker 16: now and having people record back then? Is it majorly
• 40:40
  Speaker 16: different now?
• 40:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah, the music bed is just so different now. It's incredible,
• 40:45
  Speaker 8: you know. It's just, everything is, you know, the whole
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: thing about downloading, you know, everything has changed now. So,
• 40:57
  Speaker 8: and how they, it's all changed, believe me. The record,
• 41:04
  Speaker 8: there's a record label's never, it doesn't really matter about
• 41:07
  Speaker 8: the record labels anymore. So, yeah. I don't know. I'll
• 41:12
  Speaker 8: be honest with you. I'm glad I'm not starting right now.
• 41:16
  Speaker 8: When I started, it was a fairly new industry. I'm
• 41:20
  Speaker 8: talking about rock and roll music. Elvis had only been
• 41:23
  Speaker 8: around about two or three years when we started in
• 41:26
  Speaker 8: Muscle Shoals. So it's a fairly young industry. That's part of.
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: The music business.
• 41:32
  Speaker 8: But I'd hate to be having to start right now, son.
• 41:37
  Speaker 16: It is very different.
• 41:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's really different. You think about all the guys
• 41:41
  Speaker 8: that are just legends. You think, well, could they do
• 41:46
  Speaker 8: it now? Could Willie be Willie Nelson? If he came
• 41:51
  Speaker 8: in right now, I would hope he could.
• 41:55
  Speaker 16: He's still doing it. I mean, he just put out
• 41:56
  Speaker 16: that new album.
• 41:57
  Speaker 8: I know, I know he's still doing it, but he's
• 41:59
  Speaker 8: starting to start off, you know. But think about somebody
• 42:04
  Speaker 8: like Willie and Chris, the main thing, they had these brilliant,
• 42:08
  Speaker 8: brilliant songs, and that's a big difference maker with those guys.
• 42:14
  Speaker 9: Probably.
• 42:15
  Speaker 16: If you have the talent, it'd be a Willie YouTube
• 42:18
  Speaker 16: channel somewhere.
• 42:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I hope so, man. I hope so. In fact,
• 42:22
  Speaker 8: I've talked about it with him. He said, you know, God,
• 42:26
  Speaker 8: I don't know. Nobody wants to look at me in
• 42:28
  Speaker 8: a video. I mean, if he's just starting off, nobody's
• 42:32
  Speaker 8: saw him before.
• 42:33
  Speaker 11: You know.
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 42:34
  Speaker 8: It's hard to say, but hopefully talent would win out,
• 42:39
  Speaker 8: you know, in that.
• 42:41
  Speaker 16: So what area are you in now, or are you
• 42:43
  Speaker 16: still playing around your sound?
• 42:45
  Speaker 8: I got my own band I use for muscle shows.
• 42:48
  Speaker 8: They're great musicians, great musicians. And we do show. We
• 42:53
  Speaker 8: were in Japan about two years ago. We did a
• 42:56
  Speaker 8: tour over there. And it was like I had my
• 43:01
  Speaker 8: first CD. It really did well over there. But that
• 43:05
  Speaker 8: was in 1974, you know. And that was the year.
• 43:11
  Speaker 8: That was the last year I was in Japan with Chris.
• 43:16
  Speaker 8: So I kept in touch with this Japanese guy. Anyway,
• 43:20
  Speaker 8: he was a promoter over there, and we worked out
• 43:22
  Speaker 8: a little deal where we could bring a band over there,
• 43:25
  Speaker 8: and we sold out every place they booked. We couldn't
• 43:29
  Speaker 8: believe it. We really didn't know what to expect, but
• 43:33
  Speaker 8: we still play whenever we can, and I'm going to
• 43:37
  Speaker 8: do another album here pretty soon. knock on wood and
• 43:45

  Speaker 5: It better than anybody else.
• 46:40
  Speaker 8: You know, he did a wild bunch, still obviously a masterpiece.
• 46:45
  Speaker 8: And that's where a lot of his criticism started from.
• 46:48
  Speaker 8: But he said, okay, I did the wild bunch and
• 46:51
  Speaker 8: I got criticized. And the next movie he did was
• 46:55
  Speaker 8: Battle of the Cable Holes. Nobody came.
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: So what am I going to do?
• 47:00
  Speaker 8: The next movie he did was Straw Dogs. He went
• 47:04
  Speaker 8: back to us. He always said, look, if I'm gonna
• 47:08
  Speaker 8: do violence, if I'm gonna show violence in the movie,
• 47:13
  Speaker 8: I don't want it to be some cartoon violence. I
• 47:17
  Speaker 8: want it to be the real thing where it would
• 47:21
  Speaker 8: make people, in other words, people don't want any part
• 47:25
  Speaker 8: of that. If you do the real thing and make
• 47:27
  Speaker 8: it look real, Nobody was a part of that. But
• 47:32
  Speaker 8: if you just show somebody, you know, the other way,
• 47:36
  Speaker 8: it was just real cartoon-like. They don't get it. With Sam,
• 47:41
  Speaker 8: you got it. You know, there's pain there and hurt
• 47:45
  Speaker 8: and death. And that's the way you want to be
• 47:49
  Speaker 8: very realistic about that.
• 47:54
  Speaker 12: They say that Pat Garrett's got your number.
• 48:00
  Speaker 15: So sleep with one eye open when you wonder.
• 48:04
  Speaker 7: What was your name, sir?
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: Glenn Wilson.
• 48:08
  Speaker 9: And then you're technically his cousin?
• 48:10
  Speaker 8: Uh-huh.
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: Once removed is what they say it is.
• 48:13
  Speaker 9: Harry Dean's cousin.
• 48:15
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: My dad's sister was Zoe Wilson and Harry Dean's grandmother.
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: was my dad's sister. So it's like a first cousin
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: once removed is what I've always been told. That's a connection.
• 48:38
  Speaker 16: And where were you and he born, I guess?
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: Harry Dean was born on West Irving. I've got a...
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: I gave a print of the picture of the house
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: that Harry Dean was born in. When you looked out
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: the front door... You looked at the West Urban Cemetery,
• 49:00
  Speaker 5: 180 degrees. That was his view, so I don't know
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: what kind of an impact that had on him as
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: he was growing up. It's a grim childhood. But no,
• 49:12
  Speaker 5: I've got pictures at home. We've got frames of the
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: house that he was born in.
• 49:17
  Speaker 8: Nice.
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, a little frame house there. Very cool. Right across
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: from West Urban Cemetery. I have no memory of actually
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: being in his company, but when they lived on the
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: same street that Tom Thurman lives on now, I was around,
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: his parents lived on that street, and I was around
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: him for about six years. But when he was like 16,
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: I was 10 years old. A 16-year-old teenager is not
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: going to pay any attention to a 10-year-old kid running around. So, no, I've...
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: thought and thought i have no memory of actually being
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: in this company but i know i was yeah because
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: i of course i remember uh his mom and dad
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: and grandmother uh his his uh maternal grandmother was one
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: of my daddy's sisters yeah so uh you know I
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: knew them all, but at the age he was in
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: and the age I was in, there just wasn't any
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: mixing in. There could have been times, you know, we'd
• 50:41
  Speaker 5: talk to each other, but that's been so far back.
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: I'm 79 years old. But I've always been a fan
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: of his movies. It's been a great time.
• 50:52
  Speaker 16: Character actor definitely do you remember like when he went
• 50:56
  Speaker 16: off to war when he went up to join the navy.
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: No they they uh i don't i don't remember that
• 51:04
  Speaker 5: no i i remember tales that that when he decided
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: to get into movies that he wound up to uh
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: a greyhound bus station he got on the bus and
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: went to california i don't know whether that's true or
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: not yeah but uh No, I wish I could recall
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: the things that happened, but, you know, when a kid's
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: 10 years old and not knowing what was going to
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: happen in Harry Dean's life later on, it just kind of.
• 51:39
  Speaker 16: Definitely.
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: He's come a long ways.
• 51:45
  Speaker 16: Definitely, yeah.
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: And, yeah, I talked to some... people at the university
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: of kentucky that when he was there uh in the
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: kenyal theater yeah and the guy there that was in
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: charge of that told him get out of here you've
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: got the potential to become a big-named.
• 52:08
  Speaker 9: Actor go get a real job.
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah so he left in his junior year and uh
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: I was always told they took him down to the
• 52:18
  Speaker 5: Greyhound bus station, which is on Eskimate, right around here. Yeah, yeah. Then,
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: and called the Greyhound bus, headed west. Very cool.

• 54:15

• 54:26
  Speaker 15: Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door.
• 54:33
  Speaker 13: Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door.
• 54:37
  Speaker 9: All right, so we are back, and Lucy and I
• 54:40
  Speaker 9: are sitting... In the Kentucky Theater right now.
• 54:42
  Speaker 6: Yes, back row, empty theater. It's glorious, isn't it? I mean,
• 54:46
  Speaker 6: have we discussed how ridiculously beautiful this theater is?
• 54:48
  Speaker 5: I think, yeah.
• 54:49
  Speaker 9: I'm going to have to take a picture of this.
• 54:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 54:51
  Speaker 9: Just to pass it on to everyone. Speaking of which,
• 54:55
  Speaker 9: while I was wandering around earlier, I walked down and
• 54:58
  Speaker 9: took a picture of your bloody fountains, and I think
• 55:01
  Speaker 9: I'm going to pass. So if you're not already on
• 55:03
  Speaker 9: our Facebook page, people... Get on it, because I'm posting
• 55:06
  Speaker 9: pictures of the bloody, bloody fountains on the hell mouth
• 55:09
  Speaker 9: that is Lexington.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: So you missed it, though. You missed the real deal.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: Those pictures do exist, though. I can pass them along.
• 55:16
  Speaker 9: That'd be pretty cool. But I just, I liked, even now,
• 55:19
  Speaker 9: I mean, this is days later.
• 55:22
  Speaker 8: Right, right.
• 55:23
  Speaker 9: And there were still children playing in it, dyeing themselves
• 55:25
  Speaker 9: some sort of horrible color. So, yeah, I thought that
• 55:28
  Speaker 9: was pretty funny. So, yeah, it's been a hell of
• 55:32
  Speaker 9: a festival. You're ready to pass out.
• 55:34
  Speaker 6: I'm going to sleep for several weeks. I will emerge
• 55:39
  Speaker 6: in time to begin planning next year's festival.
• 55:43
  Speaker 9: I think before we wrap up, we should pass on
• 55:45
  Speaker 9: the plan that we have. As we were talking to
• 55:49
  Speaker 9: Harry Dean's cousin, we realized he also is getting up
• 55:53
  Speaker 9: in years and doing pretty damn well as well. He's
• 55:57
  Speaker 9: in good shape as well, so we're not sure what's
• 55:59
  Speaker 9: up with these guys' DNA.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, for the sake of science, they need to
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: be studied.
• 56:05
  Speaker 9: You said they need to be studied. I said we
• 56:07
  Speaker 9: need to take their DNA, clone them, and make an
• 56:09
  Speaker 9: army of Harry Dean Stanton super soldiers.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Which might is, yeah, that's actually a better idea.
• 56:15
  Speaker 9: I'm just picturing, like, the Clone Wars, only when you
• 56:17
  Speaker 9: take the helmet off, they all look like Harry Dean Stanton.
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: God, that's like my dream.
• 56:21
  Speaker 8: Awesome.
• 56:22
  Speaker 7: Isn't it?
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 56:22
  Speaker 9: It's pretty awesome, I think. All right. Well, as far
• 56:27
  Speaker 9: as upcoming stuff, we're going to be jumping back and forth.
• 56:34
  Speaker 9: In the next few weeks, we've got a couple of
• 56:36
  Speaker 9: different special guest co-hosts that are in the works. Not
• 56:40
  Speaker 9: going to ruin it yet or jinx it because they
• 56:41
  Speaker 9: haven't really happened. But, yeah, I've got a couple of
• 56:44
  Speaker 9: different people lined up to sit in and hopefully talk
• 56:49
  Speaker 9: at great length. about some ridiculous movie geekdom. So stay
• 56:53
  Speaker 9: tuned for that. And once again, in the very near future,
• 56:55
  Speaker 9: we're going to be coming to you again from the
• 56:59
  Speaker 9: Heritage Stanton Fest here to piece together our Paris, Texas episode,
• 57:04
  Speaker 9: which also features the Hunter interview that we did from
• 57:07
  Speaker 9: last year's Heritage Stanton Fest.
• 57:09
  Speaker 6: Which I'm still dying to hear a year plus after
• 57:13
  Speaker 6: the fact.
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: I know. It's a lot of buildup now. I mean,
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: this really kind of needs to be the best interview
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: of all time.
• 57:18
  Speaker 9: It was a pretty good interview. I just went back
• 57:21
  Speaker 9: and re-listened to it. Hunter's a good guy.
• 57:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's a super smart, super entertaining dude. So I
• 57:26
  Speaker 6: can only imagine that I will be delighted.
