- You got to do it.
- What? Why?
- 180
- 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,080
- Because at one time,
- 181
- 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,242
- this woman was a real
- friend of the paper.

- at the time of her passing,

- So how did you become

- She walked in the door
- and said, "Cut my hair."

- Okay...
- And I was like,

- "I'm actually cutting somebody
- else's hair right now."

- say nothing at all.
- 259

- If there's just one thing

- Sit down, please.

- 345
- 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,650
- One, the deceased should
- be loved by their families.
- 346
- 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:39,801
- Right.
- 347
- 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,726
- Two, the deceased should be
- admired by their coworkers.
- 348
- 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,370
- I... I know.
- 349
- 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,721
- Three, the deceased must have
- 350
- 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,571
- touched someone's
- life unexpectedly.
- 351
- 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,242
- And if said person was
- a minority or a cripple,
- 352
- 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,570
- so much the better.

- Okay, and the fourth?

- such breadth and wonder

- that it's the opening
- line of the obituary.

- Yes.
- 365

- I don't know any
- crippled black kids.

- 00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:54,567
- And four, I have no idea
- what the wild card would be.

- 628
- 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,089
- They would play something
- 629
- 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,761
- very exploratory
- and I would think,
- 630
- 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,080
- "Yes, I like to go there."
- 631
- 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:32,764
- And I would listen to the music.
- 632
- 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,684
- Then they'd play
- something really bad,
- 633
- 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,000
- like, almost violent,
- 634
- 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,202
- and I would take a look
- at what I thought.
- 635
- 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,886
- See what I mean?
- They were in control of,

- 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:47,045
- I guess, basically my
- kind of budding imagination.
- 637

- Wait. So, um, who was
- your favorite disc jockey?

- Bobby Dale. Bobby Dale.
- 639
- 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,921
- Eclectic taste.
- Minimum patter.
- 640
- 00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,726
- And really brilliant sequencing.
- 641
- 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:04,444
- But then, you know,
- as with everything,
- 642
- 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,921
- music became business.
- 643
- 00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:09,563
- And they put the music in a box.
- 644
- 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,522
- And then my disc jockeys
- became computers.

- When I was three,
- my mom gave me this globe,
- 988
- 01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:38,204
- and every night
- we would play a game.

- someday live.

- in the southern coast of Spain,
- 995
- 01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,611

- And I just thought that was the most
- beautiful word I had ever heard.
