:46:00
But I started playing these little...
:46:04
...these figures behind her, see?
:46:08
And they fit with the song...
:46:10
...but it was like
going inside the melody.
:46:15
And she says, right on the stage...
:46:17
...she says:
:46:19
"Nigger...
:46:20
... don't be playing that shit
behind me while I'm trying to sing. "
:46:29
After that, a little later on...
:46:32
...me and the piano player,
we got together...
:46:35
...and we were working on "Cherokee".
:46:38
Now, this was a song that
I had played 10,000 times...
:46:41
...and I was sick of this song.
:46:44
But I found this new way...
:46:46
...of extending the chord changes...
:46:50
...so it was like a whole new song.
:46:54
And it still fit.
:46:56
I've been trying to do this since
they gonged me off the Reno Club.
:47:00
The bridge of "Cherokee".
:47:02
That's the bridge I crossed...
:47:05
...two days before Christmas...
:47:08
...1939.
:47:13
What a Christmas present.
:47:18
Anyway. And that's why
you're sitting there...
:47:22
...listening to me...
:47:24
...instead of being Red Hot Rodney
from Gene IKKrupa's band.
:47:32
So what you think
about Chummy Morello?
:47:35
I figure a good 16-week tour...
:47:39
...I could pay a lot of bills.
:47:42
- Jesus, what are we talking about?
- What are you doing?
:47:46
I'm talking about
a musician making a living.
:47:49
That's what I'm talking about.
:47:51
Look, don't cry for me.
:47:54
You can kick me in the ass...
:47:56
Come on.
:47:59
IKKick me in the ass.
IKKick me in the ass!
