:47:00
Oh, I try to get up everyday.
:47:05
It was impossible to get any work done
because of the hangers-on.

:47:10
He could never refuse anybody.
:47:15
He had people hangin'
in the control rooms...

:47:17
He had plenty of women.
:47:19
As he got up into stardom, you know,
he really moved up...

:47:23
...in his money, and in his women,
of course.

:47:26
Because one follows the other.
:47:32
Sorry 'bout that girls, but...
:47:35
If I get up at 7:00 in the morning...
:47:37
...and I'm really sleepy, but then I open
the door and see somebody...

:47:41
...that appeals to me, you know...
:47:45
First I say, "What in the world
is she doin' here?"

:47:48
Or, "What does she want?"
:47:50
I stand there, she says,
"Oh, maybe, could I come in?"

:47:53
And I'm standin' there
and really diggin' her.

:47:55
She's really nice lookin'.
It's the honest-to-God truth.

:47:58
And she's about 19, 20,
or beyond the age of so and so.

:48:03
So I say, "Oh".
:48:04
I'll probably stand there
and then there I go.

:48:06
I'll be bitin' into an apple maybe.
:48:08
I remember the times in clubs
where chicks would come...

:48:12
...and obviously they've been preparing
for half an hour for this big number.

:48:15
They've got the lipstick on,
their courage up, and out they come...

:48:19
...and over to the table.
Boom, boom, boom.

:48:22
The moment anybody would get up,
all places at the table were continually full.

:48:26
You couldn't get up for a second without
eight people charging for your chair.

:48:30
They'd sit down.
By the time they got there...

:48:33
...they were so fucking uptight about
going through this massive preparation.

:48:37
What would they say,
how would they say it...

:48:39
...how would they make
the best impression possible.

:48:41
They came on like a bunch of snots.
:48:43
Jimi would turn and say:
"Hi, my name is Jimi. Who are you?"

:48:47
And they go...
I never saw anything like it.

:48:50
She's spent five years plotting
to meet him...

:48:52
...and he says, "Hi, my name is Jimi."
And you got an attitude?

:48:55
He's always wanted to be this big star,
but I never got a chance...

:48:59
...to see him after he made it.
They would never let me come back.
