What was that?

I'm intrigued.

He asked if I would mind bringing the Broadway show to him, and since it was just me, it felt like it would be all right.

So I went, and before I went in, they said to me, now, we want you to do whatever you want to do, whatever piece you want to do, but we also know you do a piece called Blee Tea, which was about the black E.T.,

And they said, we don't think that would be a good idea.

And I said, okay, whatever, you know, that's fine with me.

There's nothing in it that's bad.

So I do the show.

I walk out and I come out onto what I think is just a private stage.

And everyone that, for me at the time, you know, like Ashford and Simpson and –

Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones.

Those are the people who are sitting in the audience, Friends of Stevens.

And so I do my show, and they're very happy.

But they say, more, more, more.

And I say, well, I have more, but I've been asked not to do this piece.

And Stephen said, well, why?

I said, they said you would be annoyed because it's really it's about E.T., the black E.T.

What would happen if he landed instead of in a very nice neighborhood, if he landed, say, like in Oakland?

He said, oh, I want to see it.

I said, are you absolutely sure?
