And particularly if you see the world...
1:16:04
...in a particular way
that's relevant to you...

1:16:07
...which other people can identify with...
1:16:09
...the music and whatever.
1:16:12
It's a terrible situation to be in
because you can't grow.

1:16:15
In a general sort of way,
I think I put it down to the impotence...

1:16:19
...of the community he played for.
1:16:24
Because we had no way of making him
understand how much we loved him...

1:16:27
...or what he was doing meant to us at all.
1:16:32
He knew what the press said, what
the publicity said, what the hype was.

1:16:37
But he didn't know
how much we needed him...

1:16:39
...or what kind of energy
he was giving us at all.

1:16:43
There is a space between the artist
and the public...

1:16:46
...once the artist is an established artist.
1:16:50
The public expects the artist...
1:16:52
...to do something that he saw him do
six months to a year ago.

1:16:56
But six months to a year ago is an image...
1:16:59
...which, if it's still alive in the eye
of the public...

1:17:02
...it's forgotten in the memory of the artist.
1:17:05
So there is a space there.
He didn't feel like dressing the same way.

1:17:08
He didn't play the same kind of music.
