Here 's a theory
for you to disregard...
:12:05
completely.
:12:08
Music, you know--
true music--
:12:12
not just rock 'n' roll--
it chooses you.
:12:15
It lives in your car, or alone,
listening to your headphones--
:12:17
you know, with the vast, scenic bridges
and angelic choirs in your brain.
:12:22
It's a place apart...
:12:23
from the vast, benign...
:12:26
lap of America.
:12:27
It's quite an honor to have
the world's greatest rock critic...
:12:30
and editor of Creem magazine...
:12:32
back home in San Diego
for a few days.
:12:35
- Lester Bangs.
- The Doors? Jim Morrison?
:12:38
He's a drunken buffoon
posing as a poet.
:12:40
- I like the Doors.
- Give me the Guess Who.
:12:43
They got the courage to be drunken
buffoons. Which makes them poetic!
:12:48
Give me some
''White Light/White Heat.''
:12:51
Iggy Pop!
:12:53
Amen!
:12:55
Put this on.
This isn't on your play list either.
:12:58
- Isn't it a bit early for that?
- Not for me.
:13:01
That was Lester Bangs, this is
Alice Wisdom, and here is Iggy Pop.
:13:13
So youre the kid who's sent me those
articles from the school newspaper.
:13:17
Yeah. Yeah.
:13:19
I've been doing some stuff for
a local underground paper also.
:13:22
- What are you, the star of your school?
- They hate me.
:13:26
You'll meet them all again
on their long journey to the middle.
:13:30
Your writing is damn good. It's just
a shame you missed out on rock 'n' roll.
:13:34
- It's over.
- Over?
:13:35
It's over. You got here
just in time for the death rattle.
:13:39
Last gasp.
Last grope.
:13:42
- At least I'm here for that.
- What do you type on?
:13:45
Smith-Corona Galaxies Deluxe.
:13:48
- And you like Lou Reed?
- The early stuff.
:13:51
I n his new stuff,
he's trying to be Bowie.
:13:53
He should just be himself.
:13:56
- You take drugs?
- No.
:13:58
Smart kid.
