:33:00
You're no stranger
to controversy.
:33:02
I've been writing controversial songs
for the last five years.
:33:05
Record companies wouldn't take a risk
on me, but, uh, that's me.
:33:09
You know,
risk and controversy.
:33:11
Denise, are you
also an advocate?
:33:14
Yeah, we're
both advocates.
:33:17
Denise?
:33:20
Um... hell, [Chuckling]
I just write pop songs.
:33:24
Sure, but you realize,
of course, that no one else...
:33:27
is writing pop songs
about unwed pregnancy, just you.
:33:31
I was wondering, is it because of your
working class background...
:33:35
that you feel free to examine these
very real, honest themes in your music?
:33:42
Um... I can assure you my background
doesn't have anything to do with it.
:33:49
I'm curious. You had a big hit last year
with "In Another World"...
:33:52
that you wrote by yourself.
:33:54
I was curious why you
decided to collaborate.
:33:57
We met and hit it off,
decided to work together.
:34:00
Denise?
:34:03
Well, I guess what he's
saying is basically true.
:34:07
- Joel actually...
- Joel Millner introduced
us at Fernando's Blue Room up in Harlem.
:34:11
He's the man
that we blame.
:34:13
Is it a marriage
made in heaven?
:34:15
No! We're not... married.
We're partners. We're not married.
:34:19
I'm here right now with Denise Waverly
and Howard Caszatt...
:34:22
who have written a very controversial
new song by the Luminaries.
:34:28
- "Unwanted Number."
- "Unwanted Number."
:34:30
- Available now.
- Thank you, Howard.
:34:32
Voss-Beat Records. We certainly
are going to keep playing it here.
:34:36
- Thank you, John.
- ## ["Unwanted Number"]
:34:38
- Wasn't l... I thought I was terrible.
- You were wonderful.
:34:42
You were great, honey.
You were terrific.
:34:44
I thought you were very
honest and straightforward
with everything you said.
:34:48
- Oh, thank you. You helped.
- ## [Song Continues]
:34:50
- Can we take these off?
- No, take 'em with you.
:34:53
[All Laughing]
:34:56
- [John] Because I'm not gonna do it.
- Hi.
:34:59
- Okay?
- Could I just give this to, uh...
