1:15:02
That was the best part of his nature, really.
1:15:05
It was a kind of innocence that he had, but
it was the thing that everybody preyed on.
1:15:12
He took on what he wanted to take on.
There's no mistake about that, you know?
1:15:16
I mean, no matter whatever went down.
1:15:19
"There's these people
and leeches around me."
1:15:21
And there was a load of lingers-on,
a load of leeches.
1:15:24
There always were.
He knew what he was taking on.
1:15:28
He knew what he was in for...
1:15:30
...otherwise he wouldn't have got involved,
because he wasn't a naive man.
1:15:34
It must be awful to live like that,
all by yourself.
1:15:37
You're totally isolated and it wasn't...
1:15:39
The poor old Beatles were isolated...
1:15:41
...because thousands
would've crushed them to death...
1:15:43
...rip their cocks out,
so they could take 'em home.
1:15:46
Steal their shoes.
That was something else.
1:15:48
Once that kind of crowd hysteria passes,
the actual physical danger begins to pass...
1:15:54
...and you realize what isolationism is.
1:15:56
It means that you have no one
to talk to particularly.
1:15:59
You have no one to exchange
any ideas with.
1:16:02
And particularly if you see the world...
1:16:04
...in a particular way
that's relevant to you...
1:16:07
...which other people can identify with...
1:16:09
...the music and whatever.
1:16:12
It's a terrible situation to be in
because you can't grow.
1:16:15
In a general sort of way,
I think I put it down to the impotence...
1:16:19
...of the community he played for.
1:16:24
Because we had no way of making him
understand how much we loved him...
1:16:27
...or what he was doing meant to us at all.
1:16:32
He knew what the press said, what
the publicity said, what the hype was.
1:16:37
But he didn't know
how much we needed him...
1:16:39
...or what kind of energy
he was giving us at all.
1:16:43
There is a space between the artist
and the public...
1:16:46
...once the artist is an established artist.
1:16:50
The public expects the artist...
1:16:52
...to do something that he saw him do
six months to a year ago.
1:16:56
But six months to a year ago is an image...
1:16:59
...which, if it's still alive in the eye
of the public...
