1:30:01
I'm just a songwriter.
1:30:05
I'm happy writing songs.
1:30:07
And....
1:30:08
And playing The Mint on Monday nights.
1:30:11
But I'd give that up if....
1:30:17
I love you.
1:30:19
From the first moment I saw you.
1:30:23
-Hi.
-Hello.
1:30:25
This is not the Wizard of Oz.
This is actually Wick Treadway.
1:30:29
-Luke Falcon.
-Pink Sands.
1:30:30
I didn't mean to eavesdrop or....
1:30:32
I mean, actually, I did mean to eavesdrop,
but I just thought...
1:30:35
I could throw a little something-something
into this Apache dance here.
1:30:39
Listen, Luke...
1:30:40
at this particular moment in time, I only
have room for one new act on my roster....
1:30:45
And that little deal was contingent
upon seeing the artist...
1:30:47
Iive last night, and she was brilliant.
1:30:50
With your help, as I understand.
Which leads me to you.
1:30:53
Now unless I'm wrong, you're gonna enjoy
a very long ride in this business...
1:30:57
if you get down on the reality that
the only solid business in music...
1:31:02
isn't performing.
1:31:03
It's publishing.
1:31:05
What does that mean?
1:31:06
It means Erna Mansen.
It means Patsy Netbruse.
1:31:09
-lt means Bart Howard.
-Who?
1:31:11
You don't know their names, but you know
their music. You know their words.
1:31:14
You been listening to their songs
a hundred times a day...
1:31:17
people listening to them
from New York to Beijing.
1:31:19
-I like that.
-I knew you would.
1:31:21
Dig it. Hemingway had it right.
1:31:24
Fame is a bitch goddess.
1:31:26
Fame is fraud, man.
1:31:27
Fame is nothing. It's foam.
1:31:29
Fame will break your heart, brother.
1:31:31
But creativity, listen up, is passion.
1:31:35
And it's endless.
1:31:36
You look for fame, you'll lose your soul.
1:31:39
You look for creation, you'll find it.
1:31:43
So listen up.
1:31:44
If you're interested...
1:31:46
you wanna continue this little conversation
about publishing deals...
1:31:49
maybe we'll talk in Jamaica.
1:31:52
If you're invited.
1:31:53
Wait. How did you know
I was going to Jamaica?
1:31:55
You're going to Jamaica to do a video with
an old reggae group that I am reinventing.
1:31:59
You're the client.
