A Mighty Wind Page #3
More precious than a pot of gold
The phenomenon of that kiss was...
It can't be overstated.
It was...
...a superb moment
in the history of folk music.
And maybe...
...maybe a great moment
in the history of humans.
I'd like to think that Mitch
would agree to do this with me.
Because I already said yes.
And I can't do it alone, so...
No, I didn't think this through.
Should've talked to him beforehand,
but I haven't talked to him in so long.
It wasn't...
We weren't talking.
You know, those last few years...
Okay, I'm remembering some things now,
yeah. There was lots of fighting going on.
And I think for a while we were able...
...to keep it on a professional level.
But really, we were getting
I was just out of high school,
I had just started here.
And I must say I was in awe of Mitch
and Mickey. I mean, who wasn't?
They were here working on
When You're Next To Me...
...which was their last album together.
Mickey started shouting at Mitch.
She just went off.
She started throwing anything she could
get her hands on at Mitch. Anything.
Music stands, microphone stands,
mikes, guitars.
And Mitch...
He just...
He just snapped.
It's time to kick on back
Toss your cares away
Cartwheels and piggybacks
It's just that kind of day
I'm sitting on a hill
Watching clouds at play
Well, I've been playing
the music of The Main Street Singers...
...my whole life, I mean,
from way back in Tampa.
I've come to understand as an adult,
with the help of Laurie, my beautiful wife...
...that there had been abuse in my family,
but it was mostly musical in nature.
My father used to
lock me away in a room...
...with nothing but the Percy Faith
recording of "Bim Bam Boom"...
...and then send me to bed
with nothing but dessert.
One of the records he put me
in there with was Sunny Side Up.
The Main Street Singers, 1968.
I tell you, my head opened up,
I listened to that record
over and over and over.
I knew it right and left
and every way to Sunday.
I feel like I knew those people.
I wanted to be in that group so badly...
...that at the age of 8 years old,
I went down into the basement...
...and I made cardboard cutouts of
everybody in the group to sing with them.
These were my friends,
and they were made out of gin boxes.
It's odd that Laurie
came from such a different--
Right. A completely different path.
I was brought up in a very small town,
south of the Chicago city limits.
Just far enough away to have been peopled
with pure, unadulterated white trash.
And because I was one of so many children,
I don't believe that anyone noticed...
...when I blew town at 15
