"Where models mingled with mechanics,"
:01:03
...plumbers danced with princes
:01:05
It was a place where all labels
were left behind
:01:09
A place where there were no rules
:01:26
In 1979 I was nineteen years old
:01:28
And I had nothing
:01:30
"Now my Dad would say I had more
than he did at my age,"
:01:32
but you know what?
:01:33
"To me,"
:01:34
filling gas tanks at a
Jersey City station...
:01:37
"going to the same dingy bar,
with the same guys"
:01:39
"trying to pick-up on the same chicks,"
:01:41
...was not tons of fun
:01:51

:02:29
...it seemed like another world
:02:31
I had been there before with my Mom
:02:34
"She did makeup for this television show,"
:02:35
...and took me to work a few times
:02:38
It was incredible
:02:39

Mom died when I was twelve
:02:52
This was dad...

"... his idea of the good life was,"
:02:55
"a can of "Schlitz" and a
