Music and Lyrics

00:29:54,808 --> 00:29:58,835 ...and ultimately, my own solo album. 521 00:30:03,550 --> 00:30:04,778 Cool. 522 00:30:04,951 --> 00:30:07,511 This copy has been in the racks for six years. 523 00:30:07,688 --> 00:30:09,417 - Come on. - No, no. I check every week. 524 00:30:09,589 --> 00:30:12,057 You see, I made a little mark, there on the back. See? 525 00:30:12,225 --> 00:30:15,058 It sold only 50,000 copies, most of those to my mother. 526 00:30:15,228 --> 00:30:17,788 <i>Rolling Stone</i> called it "a crass, contrived effort... 527 00:30:17,964 --> 00:30:20,489 ...not even good enough for a dentist chair." 528 00:30:21,968 --> 00:30:24,163 Well, I'm sure there were other reviews. 529 00:30:24,337 --> 00:30:26,737 There were, there were. But none as good as that one. 530 00:30:26,907 --> 00:30:28,841 And they were right, by the way. Yeah. 531 00:30:31,311 --> 00:30:33,836 To cut a long story short, I gave up trying to write... 532 00:30:34,014 --> 00:30:36,778 ...lost an incredible amount of money and then my apartment. 533 00:30:36,950 --> 00:30:39,976 Chris stuck by me, booked me an '80s reunion night on Long Island. 534 00:30:40,153 --> 00:30:42,246 And suddenly, they liked me again. 535 00:30:42,422 --> 00:30:44,652 It was weird. It was like I'd never been away. 536 00:30:44,825 --> 00:30:46,725 The audience was a tad older, as was I... 537 00:30:46,893 --> 00:30:50,158 ...but we were very, very profoundly happy to see each other again. 538 00:30:50,330 --> 00:30:53,163 And it went on from there. 539 00:30:53,333 --> 00:30:56,860 Cruises.
