A Mighty Wind Page #2
And we were a great group. Great.
We had a good sound...
...but I always thought we should have
something bigger, a fuller sound.
And one night in 1960,
...we were at a hootenanny and we
were jamming with the Klapper Family.
And all of a sudden, I heard it.
The sound that I'd been thinking about.
The harmonics were amazing.
I thought, "Well, there's five of us,
there's four of them. It's a neuf-tet."
And it was there, just in a moment,
it was all there.
The neuf-tet sound.
This thing clicked with The Klappers
too, so we joined forces...
...and became The Main Street Singers.
Well, 10 years and 30 albums later,
we disbanded, but we'd had a good run.
My partner Chuck Wiseman and myself,
I went my way and Chuck went his.
In 1971, after the breakup
of The Main Street Singers...
...Chuck Wiseman moved to San Francisco
where he started a business...
...with his two brothers.
The Three Wiseman's Sex Emporium.
It was very successful for a year...
...until they were sued over something
having to do with a box of benwa balls.
No, I need you, Mitch.
I need Mitch and Mickey. Mitch and Mickey.
That's the thing. You go together.
I love Mickey, but without you
it's not the same. You got to think--
I'm gonna tell you something, Mitch,
and I've never told anybody this before.
You were Dad's favorite. Okay.
Just deal with it. You were Dad's favorite.
I've never said this to a single soul.
he took me aside and he said to me:
"Of all those ferkakte people,
I love Mitch, he's my favorite.
He's like a relative,
he's like my nephew to me."
I'm saying this because I think you'd want
to know before you make your mind up.
Would you just think about it?
Sounds cliche, but it's kind of a blur,
you know? They loved us.
I guess we were, in a way, maybe easy
to love because we represented...
...true love and romance
and sweetness, and...
To be quite honest, I bought
the image as much as anyone else.
Maybe that's why I sold it so well.
Because it was sweet and happy...
...and everybody, everybody
loved to hang around Mitch.
They tried to get close to him,
but I was close to him.
He was very smart, very intense...
...and distant, you know?
You'd get close to him and he'd inch back
that much further, you know.
And you'd move in,
you know, to get inside Mitch...
...and he'd just back off a little more.
Just always kept you wanting to get there,
to understand him.
Which was impossible.
Oh, when the veil of dreams has lifted
And the fairy tales have all been told
There's a kiss at the end of the rainbow
