Needless to say he was petrified
but not for long.

1:18:07
Three months later he died...
1:18:10
July 13 1951 .
1:18:14
l can't help it.
1:18:17
l'm 49 tomorrow...
1:18:19
and Schoenberg's
still talking to me.

1:18:25
Jessie?
Jessie are you there?

1:18:32
The week before he died
l remember it in great detail.

1:18:36
And it's funny that--
1:18:38
lt's peculiar that l do remember it
in such detail...

1:18:42
because many of the times
our conversations were light...

1:18:46
and just banter
between two good friends.

1:18:49
But that week before Glenn died...
1:18:52
everything was serious.
1:18:55
He couldn't control the birthday...
1:18:58
that was coming up--
the celebration.

1:19:00
He couldn't--
He seemed to think...

1:19:03
everything was slipping away
from his control...

1:19:06
and he was obsessed with this feeling
that he wondered--

1:19:11
would people recognize him
and come to a funeral...

1:19:15
and we'd never talked about anything
like that before.

1:19:22
But he said that he wanted--
1:19:25
He didn't-- He would like to be
like Huckleberry Finn...

1:19:27
and come to his own funeral...
1:19:30
because he didn't think
that there would be people who came.

1:19:34
He didn't think that the world
loved him like they did...

1:19:38
and he knew about how
the records were selling...

1:19:42
he knew that they were very--
1:19:45
thatJapanese people bought
a lot of them...

1:19:49
that people in Central Europe...
1:19:53
and in Asia
bought a lot of them...

1:19:56
but he just didn't think...
1:19:59
that he was that important...
