: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.
:14:01
I used to do speed.
:14:04
You know, and sometimes
a little cough syrup?
:14:07
I'd stay up all night,
just writing and writing.
:14:10
I mean,
like 25 pages of dribble--
:14:13
You know, about The Faces,
or Coltrane.
:14:16
You know, just to fucking write.
:14:20
All right.
It's been nice to meet ya.
:14:23
Keep sending me your stuff.
:14:26
I can't stand here all day
talking to my many fans.
:14:30
I understand.
:14:31
You know, because once you go to L.A.,
you're gonna have friends like crazy.
:14:36
But they're gonna be fake friends.
They're gonna try to corrupt you.
:14:39
You got an honest face,
and they're gonna tell you everything.
:14:42
But you cannot make friends
with the rock stars.
:14:47
- Is it okay if I--
- If youre gonna be a true journalist--
:14:50
you know, a rock journalist--
:14:54
First, you never get paid much.
:14:56
But you will get free records
from the record company.
