You wanna cut a record?
:02:28
- Cut it out, Joel.
- I talked to Red Bird today.
:02:31
They'll sign you
for one single.
:02:33
I don't have a song
to sing.
:02:37
For five years you've been
buggin' me to let you record.
:02:39
I would've thought that you'd been
saving up material for this day.
:02:42
No, contrary to what you always
suspected, I never held out on you.
:02:46
That's my girl. So write something.
Isn't that what I pay you for?
:02:49
[Softly]
Yeah, write something.
:02:52
I don't...
I don't know.
:02:54
I just... I don't think I have
anything left inside of me, you know.
:02:58
- It's just gone.
- Let me tell you somethin'.
:03:01
Are you listenin' to me?

:03:15
Don't let these other bastards
get you down.
:03:18
- [Sighs]
- Come on.
:03:21
I have the perfect producer
lined up.
:03:24
- [Laughs]
- Come on, sit up.
:03:26
This guy, he's the new "hit-maker"
genius, the next..."wunderkind."
:03:30
- Phil Spector?
- Phil Spector, history!
:03:33
Shadow Morton?
Shadow Morton?
:03:36
This guy's no Liberace,
who I feel is valid in his own right.
:03:39
He's an Einstein
in the control booth. He's a wizard.
:03:42
Direct your eyes right here.

[Reporter] While The Beatles
and The Byrds are both at work on...
:03:52
what are being termed "concept albums",
teen favorites, The Riptides,
:03:55
are also changing directions.
:03:57
Oh, Joel.

Jay Phillips, the one on the guitar.
He's the brains behind the band,
