Ethan Hawke

He sat down, and he proceeded to tell this elaborate story that I'm sure he's told a thousand times, but it was such a gift.

He sat and told a story about how he met Janice Joplin in the elevator of this very building, and she fucked me about four minutes later.

HELLO.

I played her this song.

And he's playing, you know, busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train.

I was feeling by his fate, right?

And the whole crew, everybody's crying.

Everybody's so happy.

I mean, he was just, he was that giving, you know, to everybody and understood what it would mean to this group of young artists, you know?

And so, but he wasn't perfect.

He was a real dude.

With real issues and, you know, and I loved him.

That was an extraordinary life.

Yeah, I'll stop in one second, but I think you'll love this.

Apparently, the legend Johnny Cash used to say that, you know that song, Sunday Morning Coming Down?

I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt, and the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert.

Great song.

Okay, so Johnny Cash had a number one single out of this song, and Johnny Cash would tell the story how Chris was flying helicopters offshore oil, and he...

landed in Johnny Cash's front yard with a beer in one hand and the song in the other on his helicopter and said, damn it, you got to listen to my song.

And I listened to it and went straight to number one.
