Everything I have in here,
you see, is one of a kind.

This stuff's all chiffon stuff.

This stuff's my fancy stuff.

I bought these in 1967,
and they're still brand-new.

They got great, big-
they're low hip-huggers, right?

They come down here.

And they got great, big bells
on 'em, man.

These are nice leather ones.
They're real soft.

Feel the leather on those.
They're soft.

They feel good, don't they?

I like a lot of paisley shit,
you know.

I still got a lot
of paisley shit,

and it's all in
perfect condition.

These are all
my stage clothes,

and I only wore these, like,
once in a while,

because when I used to play,

I was saving them
for when I got big.

And that never happened,
so I saved 'em forever.

- So what are his prospects?

Because he keeps giving me
these rosy scenarios,

and I don't know
what to believe, you know?

- What does he tell you,
specifically?

- Well, like, one thing
I know is a delusion,

is that he's going in
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

this year or next.

I like him to have a dream,
though, you know?

If he didn't have a dream,
he's liable to kill himself.

- Are you really gonna do this
as a documentary?

I could go out and play.

- I get nervous.
You know what I mean?

- Hmm?
- I get nervous that...

- Everybody does.

He does.

They're afraid I'm gonna die.

That's okay.
I won't.

If you guys want me around,
I'll stick around.

- Please.
- If you really do.

I mean that in my heart.

I mean, if you want me around,
I'll stick around.

For just guys like you guys.

- I was at a record show
with my girlfriend,

and, um, I found, like, this-
all this rare stuff

that I totally wanted.

And then I was just looking
through one last bin...

and I saw the original
Pentagram record.

It was just a purple logo
against black.

It kind of looks like garbage
on the front.

You turn it around,
and there's this, like,

scary-ass picture of the band.

I was with my girlfriend
at the time,

and we were just, like,
crazy record collectors

and just go blow all our money
on records and beer

and then just have, like,
Friday and Saturday night

listening to records.

Man, as soon as we put that
on the turntable,

that's like nothing
I'd heard before.

Really, I mean, it was just
so fucking heavy.

This was the only Pentagram
that was released

and the only one I knew of.

I thought this was the beginning
of Pentagram.

I was working
at an indie record label,

and I was telling everybody
about it that I knew,

and someone said,
"Oh, yeah, man.

"I get stuff no one's even
heard about before,

from the '70s,
heavy, hard rock. "

I was like,
"Come on, how can this be?"

I was obsessed with this band.

So he brings in this CD-R.

Here it is, man,

a record that literally
changed my life.

I couldn't wait, you know,
just to get out of work

and go home and listen to it.

At that point,
I was riding a bike to work,

and I remember just riding home
as fast as I could, you know?

Just like a little kid
from school.

I rolled a joint-
it was a special occasion.

I rolled a big joint.

And that first song,
Forever My Queen,

I mean,
just fucking phenomenal.

- I couldn't believe it.

Some of the best hard rock
I've ever heard.

I mean, lyrically,
his vocal delivery.

Just the guitar in it
was out of control.

I mean, for the early '70s,
I couldn't believe it.

And mostly,
not only was it brilliant,

but aside from that, why doesn't
everyone talk about it?

What's the equivalent
of hearing something like this

for someone who's just obsessed
by music?

It's a profession and their
passion and their private life.

It's... it's hard to explain.

It's literally like being
a devout Christian

and walking down the street
one day and bumping into Jesus,

and he knows your name
and shakes your hand

and asks you over for dinner
and drinks.

You know?

And he calls you on the weekends
to go out.

I mean,
I- I can't explain it.

My whole life, I've just been
obsessed by music.

It's all I wanted to do
with my life.

And the only things
that made me truly happy

were finding
an awesome record.

I was just completely driven
and obsessed.

I mean, I was completely
in love,

and I just couldn't wait

to make other people
fall in love with this.

- It was the perfect time for
Bobby Liebling and Pentagram

to kind of-
to be rediscovered.

I wouldn't even say
they were a cult band.

They were kind of a secret,
at that point.

But then there was
all this interest

in early '70s hard rock.

There was a big
stoner-rock thing.

There were a lot of bands

that just wanted to get
that early '70s sound

and then get back to the basics
in metal.

All of a sudden,
there's this band.

Oh, you know,
they have unlimited number

of unreleased recordings
from the 1970s,

and there hasn't been, like,
years and years

of over-merchandising
or marketing

or anything like that.

It was just like
this caveman found, you know,

frozen in the Swiss Alps
somewhere

that you cut out the block
of ice and bring it out,

and there's a specimen there
that still has active DNA.

Bobby Liebling is still
that frozen guy.

- If you see anything that says
Pentagram, like,

Liebling, Pentagram,
blah-blah-blah project

or any of that on the CDs,

we will find, find for you guys,
'cause you must hear this.

This is more important to me
than any other shit.

That's why you must hear
the stuff.

Hey, world premiere!

VH1 in the trash heap.

Oh, man, I know I'll play again.
I can't help it.

Look, I'm addicted.

You know, it's like heroin.

I can get up there
and rock with the best of 'em.

Cool E right here.

- I thought he was very good
when he was younger.

I don't-you know, I didn't go
to many of his shows.

I didn't want to make him
uncomfortable,

but he did have a-

Would you please get...

Thank you.
Excuse me.

No, not just as a mother.
I was very critical of him.

But I thought he had a-

just a natural instinct
to perform.

And you couldn't stop him,
even if we wanted to, you know?

It was sort of inborn.

- Far superior than
some of these real big bands

that I've seen.

Big guys
that are making millions.

- Have you ever done anything
else besides rock and roll?

- Nothin'.

Yeah, this-
drugs.

Sex, drugs,
rock and roll.

Well, I mean, look at me.

You know I'm an old soldier,
right?

I've been doing drugs
44 years.

I've been addicted to heroin
for 39.

I've been addicted to crack
for about 22.

I've been in off-houses,
detoxes.

You know, that's why I smile
and tell people,

"I'm alive, man. "

I'm not supposed to be alive.

Uh, did you see where
the piece of crack went?

The big piece of crack?

Oh, my God, look, there's-
oh, no, that's a Band-Aid.

- No, I know.
It fell down into...

- You saw it?
I mean, the place is a hellhole.

It's a shit-hole.

It's a sloth house,
and I hate it.

That's why I want to get out,
man.

I don't like dirt, see?

- You want to get out?

- Believe it or not, yeah.

Fucking A.
I'm gonna get out.

Are you kidding?

That looks like rat poop.
It's not-

- He's been close to death
ever since I've known him.

I can't tell you
how many times

I get a message that he leaves
in the middle of the night,

saying good-bye.

- He didn't live a hard life

and then come back
and try and write love songs.

He wrote songs from
the perspective of somebody

that was metaphysically
in the sub-basement.

He's used that to make very
harrowing, bone-chilling music.

- Man, I remember sitting
at the side of a train track.

This was, like, where I lived,
side of a train tracks.

I found a boom box
in a dumpster,

and the only tape I had
was Be Forewarned.

He speaks truths that not many
people can see or know.

It's pain,
and it's empowerment,

and it's just all these things
in one, purely from the heart.

It's almost like, on a smaller
scale, like my bible, you know?

- The first time I ever saw
footage of Bobby,

I never seen nothing like it.

He definitely understood

the seductive powers
of rock and roll, man,

and he could just go from
this textbook rock-and-roll guy

and then all of a sudden just
crouch down like the devil.

You know, when you're a kid,
man,

that's about the fucking coolest
thing you can see.

So...

- There's something about,
I guess, the mystique of Bobby.

He just has that persona,
you know,

and that charisma that people
just, like, latch on to.

And then his drug addictions
and things like that,

it's added to all that,

but it's also a hell
for a lot of people

who've played in bands with him
over the years.

I mean, if you look on
the Pentagram Myspace site,

on the left column,

it's got all the prior members
of Pentagram,

and it's, you know-
it's, like, a list that long.

- The potential's there,
but, you know,

there's certain personal things
in his life

that are keeping him from
going all the way.

- Even though I talked to him

and seemed like
it was a dead end,

the guy's got some kind of fight
in him.

He's got a flame
that won't go out, man.

I wanted to start a fire
with it, you know?

So today we're headed down to,
uh, see Bobby.

Um...
I have a toll coming up.

Do you want to do this
after the toll?

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

So today I'm gonna go down.

I have notes and an outline

of what I think the plan
should be.

And even if we get
a contract signed

and it takes us forever
to start recording,

shit can fall apart, man.

So we really
got to fucking move on it

and move on it fast
and make it happen.

You know what, we're gonna get
a fucking record made.

God damn it.

I hope.

Practically speaking,
the one thing I can do

for Pentagram and Bobby
is give 'em good direction.

And something I mentioned
to him,

like, "Bobby, you know what?

You're fucking almost dead, man.
Unfortunately, it sucks. "

He tells me this
all the time.

"So you got one more shot to
really make another big mark. "

And that's what I really want
to help Bobby do.

It just has to happen.

There's got to be a final
finale chapter

in the story
of Bobby Liebling.

I really think that you guys
can do it

and come back together
and do a great record.

I haven't even started

negotiating the contract yet
at all.

It's just figuring out
if they're interested,

figuring out what
they're willing to give

for an advance.

We also have to figure out
Geof and Greg or whatever-

are willing to be
on the record.

So part of the reason I want
to go with Housecore, dude,

is, Philip is the contemporary
hard rock hero, right?

You are the dude
from the past.

He's gonna bring you
huge visibility.

So what we need to do is,
we're gonna lay out a budget

that we're all gonna
have to agree to

and we're all gonna
have to stick to,

and I want to see this shit
happen.

I have too much time
invested in it

to not even follow through
at this point.

So what I'm gonna do is,

I'm gonna record him
Backlash, Suffering,

and Everything's
Turning To Night

and hand it to him backstage
at the Down show.

But the other thing is-
too is,

it's my word
I'm giving to them, you know?

Before all this happens,

and we're gonna go with it.

So this, what I'm handing you
is my final-

my final effort
to fucking help you

and try to fucking put a great
record on the history books.

- You know what I want to do?
I want to live.

I want to live a little, man.

- Well, here's the thing.

- I want to live.
I don't want to die anymore.

- We do this record, bro, right?

Hopefully, it'll help you
get out of here.

We're gonna figure out what
we're gonna get for percentages,

what your royalties
are gonna be, all that stuff.

- I have to eat.
I have to make a living.

I can't-I can't do this

irresponsible, little,
crying child trick forever.

I can't.

I've been Peter Pan
my whole life, man.

There's times
you do something.

I want me back.

I'm tired of giving me out
and giving up and running away.

I run away with, you know,

the old piece of glass,
you know?

If I smoke any crack after
today, you can have my records.

How about that?

I'll put it on the camera.

- "If Robert Liebling smokes
crack after today, 10/12/07,

"Demian Fenton
and Sean Pelletier

will own Robert Liebling's
entire record collection. "

- Before you do it,
it should say "1 B."

Possession should take place
only if, and after 9 days-

90 days or whatever days,
you know-

30 days, 60 days, 90 days.

It's up to you.
I don't care.

- We're not gonna take
your records.

We just want you to stop
smoking crack.

- Yeah, yeah.
- Sign this.

- No, but, you should put...

- Do you want me to hold
the crack when you sign that?

- You know what I mean?

- Throughout Pentagram's career,

they've really come so close
to really making it.

- Our manager at the time,
Gordon Fletcher,

one of the two managers,

knew a lot of people
in the business,

and he knew Gene and Paul
in KISS.

So we had this set up for them

to come see
one of our rehearsals.

- It was in a basement of
a house that I was living in.

Wasn't really a heavy metal
studio, let's say.

- The day that KISS
was going to be arriving,

Greg and Vincent had to work,

and they were working
as janitors.

- So unfortunately, Vincent,
a brilliant guitar player,

and Greg, heavier-than-hell
bass player,

were off cleaning toilets.

I don't know.

If KISS was coming
to my house to watch my band,

I would quit my fucking job.

I wouldn't even go to-

never mind going to work
that day.

- So Gene and Paul show up.

Toilet boys are still at work.

Not only were they off
cleaning toilets that day,

but they hitchhiked to work.

- They didn't have a car.

They had to hitchhike home

wearing some type
of janitor-type outfit.

- I guess we got off work,
Vince and I did,

and we got to the house.

We're all grubby
from being janitors.

- The landlord, who I guess
lived in the house,

started bitching and complaining
that it was too loud

and had to shut down.

- Came running.

"Man, you guys
got to turn it down!"

And I'm like, "God damn it, man.
KISS is here," you know?

- Fucking KISS is in the house
watching them play.

You think they'd give
the landlord something.

Some peanut butter sandwiches
and 25 bucks

to fucking go away
for the day.

But, you know, so it was just-
I guess it was just horrible.

From what I hear, KISS,

some of the things
they said are,

"Well, your name's Pentagram.
There's only four of you.

"The singer and the bass player
have bad skin.

The drummer's too fat. "

And they blew it.

I mean, should have taken
the day off from work,

fucking did a month of aerobics,

fucking got some Oxy pads,
you know?

- Should I pull 'em out?

Some Enchanted Evening.

My son has the platinum
Some Enchanted Evening.

I'm told that
the Johnny Winter is platinum.

I'm told that Blue Oyster Cult�s
first three records

have gone gold,

but Sony is too cheap
to send me gold records.

Uh, this is...

I had done at least a couple
of Blue Oyster Cult records.

I was looking for the real thing
to follow Blue Oyster Cult.

Pentagram really seemed like
sort of a street Black Sabbath.

That was just what I was
looking for, you know?

I wanted the male-dominant
thrust of heavy metal.

But it sort of had a, "Fuck you
and the horse you rode in on"

kind of thing.

Post-Page, pre-Sex Pistols.

It was almost as though
I'm sitting at a computer-

if there were such things then-

kind of generating this band
that was perfect for 1974.

I was ready to seriously,
seriously commit to them.

- Here was our big break.

Columbia records is paying for
us to go do a demo in New York.

- And, you know, we're
on the train to New York.

Man, I'm seeing stars
in my eyes.

- We went into the studio
and did three tracks

with Murray Krugman
producing it.

- We get through
all the rhythm tracks,

and Bobby's laying down
the vocals.

- Bobby completed
a vocal track,

and Murray said,
"Okay, that's fine.

Come in and listen to it. "

And Bobby says, "I'd like to-
I'd like to redo that.

There was a couple parts
I wasn't really happy with. "

Murray says,
"Don't worry about it.

We'll fix it in postproduction.
Just-it was fine. "

- We could have corrected
that vocal,

but there would have been
some other thing

where he's hearing a finished
$200,000 record in his head

and can't understand why
an eight-hour demo

isn't gonna give that to him.

- And Bobby got real upset
about it

and called Gordon,
who was our manager,

out into the singing booth.

- "Gordon,
can I see you a minute?"

Pain in the ass, I was.

Called him out in the main room.

Made sure I was by a live mic.

I said, "What's this guy being
such a fucking asshole for?"

- Murray just got up,

and, as I recall,
he didn't say a word.

Vincent thought
he said we were

the most difficult band
to work with and walked out.

I don't recall him saying
anything.

I just recall him getting up
and walking out of the studio

without saying a word.

And we never talked to him
again.

- I felt like killing Bobby.

- I've fantasized
many, many times

if Bobby had just said,
"No problem," you know,

and walked in and we'd listened
back to the session.

What would have happened
the rest of that day?

What would have happened
the rest of that week?

And what would have happened
with the rest of our career?

- We would have gotten a deal
through them.

No question.

Record deal, national tour,
fame, and fortune.

It would have happened.

There,
but for the grace of God.

- I used to say to him,

"When I see you
on Saturday Night Live,

I'll know you made it. "

And, you know,
I've seen some lousy acts.

That shocks me.

Bobby, Pellet's here.

- He... he's here?

- Yeah.
- Good lord.

- Everybody in unison-

I mean, total-

"Move him out of your house. "

- Everybody, everybody.

I mean, to this day.

There's always tons of laundry
around here.

I don't know.

He can change three times a day.

He's already changed twice
today.

He keeps spilling his coffee...

- Even now, everything that
he has comes from us.

- How much have you given
for Bobby?

- Financially?

- I have...

- Financially,
over $1 million.

- Thanks, appreciate it.

- All right, good.

Brush your hair?

- There's Fig Newtons,
aren't there?

Mom?

There's Fig Newtons,
aren't there?

Yeah.

- I've always been afraid

that he'd either go out
and steal

or knock somebody.

You don't know.
Addicts are crazy.

- It's a very tough thing.

They call us enablers.

I said, "Really?

"Did you ever see my son?

Do you know him?"

"No. "

"And you're in
social services?

Where is your sensitivity
to people?"

His brilliance
in the music field

has never been to fruition
because of the problem.

He has all this talent now.

- Yes, he still has talent.

- He has it.

- Do you guys think that Bobby
could stop doing drugs?

- At this stage of the game,
of anybody, you know,

it's a prognosis question.

- Yes,
if he were out of pain.

He's in a lot of pain that
people don't realize that.

And he also has, truthfully,
a delusion

that he has
a parasitic infection.

Bobby's not insane, but he can
act insane with the coke.

- My fingers turn black
every night.

There, it's starting now.

That's not from the coke.

That's all parasites.

See those dots that look
like dots embedded?

- Mm-hmm.

- All of them.

Did you see my lips?

They're not chapped.

Come here.

See the line
along the bottom?

- Mm-hmm.
- That's all parasites.

See all that black?

Those are all parasites.

- Holy fuck, man.
- Yeah.

- Never saw it, huh?

15 years I've had to live
with that.

- See, when he starts
pulling his skin,

he does what he thinks-
he calls, "debriding. "

He'll pull at it

and put it on
a piece of paper towel

and pull out
his magnifying glass,

and he'll come-

"You never want to look.
You never want to look. "

I said, "I've spent 10,000 hours
looking, Bobby.

It's not bugs.
It's dead skin. "

If he didn't pick his arms,

I know they'd heal,

and I know
everything would be fine.

- It's a fact.

I have something unknown
that is parasitic.

- Truth is that she said
you've been to the hospital

about 50 times
since you lived here.

- Mm-hmm.

- We're gonna be there for
eight hours in the waiting room,

and they're gonna let you out.

Unless you go there and say
you want to go to detox,

and then they'll admit you.

- They're not gonna treat me
for this in detox.

- I've watched you smoke
a fuckload of crack right now.

- Mm-hmm.
- It's in your blood.

- Mm-hmm.
- They're gonna get you in.

Then once you're in there,
you're away from this,

maybe you can heal more.

- I want to go
to the hospital,

not that I want to go
in rehab.

I want to go to the hospital,

because if I'm not treated
for this,

I'm gonna die.

It makes me nasty.

It makes me confused.

Probably 'cause it's eating
my organs away.

Probably 'cause it is eating
my brain.

All I do is cry all night

and pray to God to die.

- I've taken Bobby here
a few times.

I know he's intent on getting
his hands and arms addressed

and that rehab is
a secondary solution.

And as far as what he was saying
30 minutes ago,

suicide being
the third solution.

I don't-I wish he wasn't
going through any of this,

but there's nothing
that I can do

except just support him,
you know?

You know, Bobby would be
the first to tell you,

years back,

he kind of made that deal
with the devil, right?

He kind of sold his soul,

and he's fighting like hell
to steal it back

one piece at a time.

- So what are they gonna do?

'Cause I feel comfortable
in these places

more than I do
in my own home.

I like hospitals.

That's sick,
but I love hospitals.

Pellet has been-
has been like a god to me.

He's basically a godsend.

I love him.
I love all you guys.

You know, for coming here.

Thank you very, very much.

- On Sundays, we'd take him
to this little deli,

and they had a jukebox.

There, he was only
a year and a half there.

So he'd go over there
and bounce to it,

and he'd turn around.

He sang Tennessee Ernie Ford.

And everybody, "Look at that
little boy," you know?

He had quite a good childhood.

- He had an excellent childhood.

- Later teens, he used to walk
in the door.

He'd step in that door
right away.

Before he even saw him,
he'd yell out,

"Did you cut your hair?"

That was, I mean, every night.

That's when they kind of had
a little parting,

because of his hair
and lifestyle and so forth.

A lot of Bobby's problems
I believe, subconsciously,

is an innate competitive thing
with his father.

- I think she's right.
She's right in that.

She's right in that.

I worked for eight
secretaries of defense.

Originally appointed by
President Johnson,

kept on by Nixon
and by President Ford.

Where the hell
did you find that?

I always looked up to people

who were in our society.

Very, very responsible.

And I want my son
to have been like that.

- Joe,
but he's not.

- I can't do anything
about it now.

- What I want for Bobby,
just for him to be happy.

- Just for him to be-

- To find a good woman.

- Two different categories.

- Why?
He needs that, Joe.

- I just want him to be well.

Within the range of normalcy.

With that, of course,
goes then to societal things

that she's talking about.

- To play the next message,
press one.

- Hey, Dem.
It's Pellet.

Listen, I'm just giving you
a quick call.

I finally heard from Bobby

after weeks of him being
missing in action.

He's been in Philadelphia,
of all places.

Dude, he met some
young hot girl named Hallie,

and he's been up here
spending time with her.

She supposedly is not
a drug addict.

I'm not sure
what the whole deal is,

but I just thought
I'd tell you.

It looks llike there's gonna
be some forward motion,

'cause he's psyched
and really positive.

Give me a call
when you get this, okay?

See ya.

- This message will be saved.

- The way he met her,
from what I understand, is,

she was a fan.

They were speaking on the phone
quite a bit,

so she came one time
with her cousin.

Then a couple of weeks later,
she invited him to visit.

And that's how it started.

He's been going to Philly
nearly every weekend.

Do you have an elevator
at 201 South 13th?

He got an apartment-we got him
an apartment, I should say-

in Philadelphia,
just a few blocks from her.

So he'll have to come in
through the front?

Is it wide?
Because he has a very wide sofa.

Apparently, they're in love.

Or whatever, you know?

I don't know if it's-
I shouldn't say this-

in love or in lust,
but...

- Yeah, I was very, very lonely
down here for a long time,

but, uh,
I'm not lonely anymore

because I have a-
very much a purpose, you know?

Perfect time to meet Hallie.

About time somebody loved Bob
for Bob again.

There's been nobody a long time
who's loved Bob for Bob.

Nobody loves me like Hallie.
Nobody.

I've never loved a woman
like Hallie in my life.

Never in my life
and never will again.

- He's got to take
winter boots.

I don't care what he says.

Are they that bad?

They're dorky, he says.

Just for the snow.

Are they that dorky?

Huh?

Tell him he needs some lamps.

- I got everything like that.

- You got the coconut oil.

- Don't worry about that.

- All right, where is it?

- You know that fire
that just started?

Right as the flames
hit the stove,

this fell off Bob's neck.

Now, how fucking weird is that?

That's weird.

'Cause you were here-

Them flames came out of nowhere,
right?

Out of fucking nowhere.

This popped right off his neck
right as the fire started.

Do the math.

One bad omen after another,
dude.

I don't know.

I think Bobby
might just be back.

I hope this girl is everything
he thinks, man.

I don't know her.

Yeah, I hope it works out.

But between the cross breaking
and the fire, the snow,

fucking...
I'm starting to wonder, man.

- All right,
I'll see you later.

- Good luck.
- Wish me luck.

- Make it.
- Yeah, I'm gonna make it.

There ain't no question
about that.

- Are you boxed in?

- We'll see you again,
all right?

- Drive careful.
- Love you!

- Oh, boy.

I just hope he's happy,
that's all.

Hope he's happy.

- So today is Bobby's birthday.

He loves carrot cake.

He gets an annual carrot cake
every year.

There's no room to write,
"Happy birthday, Bobby"

without interfering
with the carrot symmetry,

so we're just gonna go with
a Pentagram

with maybe a 54 in the middle.

I guess, uh,
I get a little leeway

since I'm not a decorator.

- I think 54's not that old.
- Huh?

- 54's not that old.

- No, I don't know, is it?

- I mean, it's old.

Get out of here!

- But it's not that old.

At first glance, when people see
me and Bobby

walking down the street
together,

they either think,
A, he's my father,

or, B,
he's my sugar daddy

or, you know, a pimp
or something like that.

But he's an endearing person,

and I'm certainly not in it
for the money,

because he has none.

And I just-
I enjoy his company.

I feel very kindred to him,
regardless of the age gap.

My cousin and I had a theory
that he and his mother

were the same person,

like an Anthony Perkins,
like, Psycho sort of thing.

You're gonna have us, like,
locked in a closet

with your mother's corpse.

I don't find that I have
anything in common

with guys my age.

I've always liked,
since I was young,

in terms of looks,

guys that have, you know,
goofy features,

like caricature features,

and I just have an odd taste
in men.

That's just the way it is.

- All right, Bobby!

- Who bought the candles?

It has a freaking pentagram
on it.

No, wait, hold on-

The change is pretty massive.

To my understanding, he was
smoking toxic amounts of crack.

- Make a wish.

- He went from that to this

and has smoked no crack
since he moved to Philly.

- Whoo!

- He's been through
so much more life than me.

But it's the kind of,
like, life

where you don't really grow
as a person.

He's kind of remained
frozen in time, a little bit,

and I kind of like that
about him.

I mean, in his heart, too,

he'll always be young,
I think.

You look good in those pants.

He looks pretty.

- Long as she can say that,
that's okay by me, baby.

I'm doing all right then.

Now I'm still here.

If I can have someone
as beautiful as this

say I'm pretty,

something's happening here.

- And now it's so crazy
watching, you know, him

in this short amount of time

grow up
and make up for the time

where his growth was, like,
really stunted.

Stuff where he would have
no clue what to do before,

like his debit card,
checking account,

the social security card,

he doesn't have a problem
with that stuff anymore.

He's gotten the hang of it.

- I don't miss him.
I really don't.

There's a nice sense of peace
now.

- I do, a great deal.

- He misses him terribly.

- A great deal.

The fact that he is using
whatever strength he has left

to preserve whatever
self-confidence he has

is something
that I am proud of.

He commented on the phone for
the first time today, actually,

"I love you, Dad. "

- It's amazing,
the transformation in this guy.

He looks good.
He sounds good.

It's the person I thought
or hoped I'd be dealing with

from the get-go.

He's been jamming with
other musicians.

He just seems kind of
more focused

and definitely more in touch
with music lately.

- The Hallie situation,

I hate to talk so much
about it,

but it is really that integral
in my life.

Hallie Liebling.

I got mad love
for Hallie Liebling.

Yep.
She's gonna be my Liebling.

She's my little Liebling.

- We're about three hours and
45 minutes from Los Angeles.

Finally going to meet
the infamous Geof O'Keefe

after talking to him for-

gosh, I don't know,
71/2 years now?

When you're in a record store

and you pick up that record,
man,

you just almost don't know
what you're in for.

Not only is it a journey
of the mind,

but sometimes
it's a real exodus, man.

I fell in love with this band,

and now I feel like I'm kind of
becoming part of the story.

It's a friggin' honor.

I wouldn't trade it
for anything in the world.

Bobby makes my fucking hair
fall out.

I'm telling you, dude.

But at the end of the day, it's
gonna be worth it, you know?

It really is.

Fucking psyched.

People are gonna be able to dig
a new record, man.

That's kick-ass enough for me.

Geof is such an important part

of the formation
of this awesome band.

I'm hoping we really get Geof
excited about it as well,

and he's willing to,
you know, deal with Bobby

and forget about the past

or deal with some of the
bullshit for the greater good,

which is gonna be an awesome
new Pentagram record

from the-with the original
members, you know?

And new members too.

- "Pentagram has not only
developed

"a small but faithful following
in the Washington area,

but major record companies
have also taken an interest. "

Well...

Think it was a bar of soap from
Ramada Inn, New York City

when we did that
Columbia Records session.

So I'm guessing...

- Yeah, it smells like failure.

Oh, man.

Bobby and my special project,

The Douche Bags
by The Douche Bags.

- "A friend told me he heard
from a connection

"that Bobby left and Pentagram
now has a female singer.

"If this is true,
I'm doomed.

"It seems unlikely,
but anything's possible.

Christ, I got to know. "

- "These two talented musicians
make up

"one of the most successful
and popular bands today.

"Between the two of them,

"they play a wide range
of instruments:

bass, lead guitar, drums,
female organ, and leslies. "

"We'd like to wreak metal havoc
in Britain.

"The only problem so far is,

we can't get out
of Washington. "

- "Pentagram closed the show
with a nightcap.

"Any finesse got crushed
and pushed aside

by a boring tidal wave
of sound. "

Well, this just shows
where things had ended.

December '76.

"Singer wanted.

"Former members of Pentagram

"require a singer
of professional caliber

"in the David Coverdale/
Paul Rodgers mold.

We do not want a singer
with an ego problem. "

I met Bobby Liebling
in probably 1967, '68.

I noticed that he was carrying
record albums with him

a lot of times
on the school bus,

and I was just starting
to get into cool music.

He was playing in a band at the
time called Shades of Darkness.

He was doing stuff that I was
only dreaming about-

playing in bands and going out
with girls and all this stuff.

So I really kind of idolized
this guy.

Coming out of the psychedelic
hippie '60s

and going into the '70s,

it was really a sense
of artistic freedom,

like there were no boundaries.

We could do what we wanted,

wanting to make music
and make movies.

We weren't conscious of being
in any type

of situation
or artistic environment.

We just knew we wanted to do
what we wanted to do.

I have really good memories
of Bobby

from a certain period of time
to a certain period of time.

And then bad things started
to happen,

and there was a few years
of that,

and eventually
I just decided,

"I don't want any part
of this. "

There was just
too much negativity to-

outweighing the positive,
you know?

Things got so bad
with the relationship

between our managers,
Skip and Tom.

And the band wanted to know
what was going on

because they were still
our managers,

so Skip said,
"Well, you can interview me,

"but just, you know,
write down the questions

"and come out
with your tape recorder,

and I'll record the answers
onto a tape recorder. "

- One, two, three, four.

- Skip basically didn't want
to be around Bobby.

So we had to conduct
our band interview

with our own manager by tape.

- How do you expect to promote
the single wholeheartedly

when you won't even meet with
the band you're producing?

Skip?

- First of all, I don't expect
to promote...

- Bobby's very driven
with what-

and very passionate about
his music, and that's good.

But I have a feeling that
over the years

that's been, you know-
one of Bobby's main problems is

the freedom of Bobby
doing nothing

except sex, drugs,
rock and roll.

I mean, that is it
to a tee.

And I realize
some people say,

from an artistic standpoint,
"Bravo", you know?

"You've got your vision.
You're sticking to it. "

On the other hand,
you know,

everyone that's been with you
has walked away over the years

or fled in terror

because they realize you're not
ever gonna compromise

or, you know, cooperate.

I haven't talked to Bobby
in over 20 years.

It would be really cool
to go into the studio with Bobby

and do a real album
for the first time,

rerecord some old stuff,
write some new stuff.

'Cause I'm proud of that stuff.

And if, 30 years later,

people are finally discovering
that music

and, you know, posting things
online about,

"Oh, this band is so amazing.

This drummer kicks ass,"
and stuff like that.

When I read stuff like that,
it's like, "Wow, really?

Thank you. "

On the other hand, everyone who
tries to do this with Bobby

winds up getting crapped on.

It winds up being a disaster
of mega proportions

because Bobby will do something
to screw it up.

I don't want to go do something
that's a high publicity thing

and have it fall apart
and be a laughingstock.

I don't want to do it.

- She hasn't called me.

You know,
got 17 minutes left.

I can't-
my phone's gonna run out.

I got...

- Your call cannot be
completed...

- My call can't be completed
as dialed.

Come on, please answer,
honey.

The thing that people
don't realize

is that Mr. Evil-
whoo!

Pentagram, dih-dih-dih-dih,
yadda, yadda, yadda.

Man, under this shell,

and this put-on,

all I want to do is eat,

take care of my loving
other half

in a bed that's comfortable,

next to a warm soul

that I can give my soul to,

because I'm not a bad guy.

I'm really not a bad guy
underneath.

I don't mean to do the things
I do wrong.

You know, I pray every night
to God

to forgive me for the things
I've done wrong.

Hallie, why are you
calling me an asshole

and saying that I hurt you?

- Because you did.

- All I called to-

Listen, all I said-

Can I say anything?

Can I say anything ever?

- It was just overkill.

Hallie, Hallie,
Hallie, Hallie.

And, you know, it's great to be
in a relationship,

but you just need
a fucking break.

He was talking about marriage.

I mean, from the get-go,

the first thing Bobby told me
was,

"I have a new girlfriend,
and I'm gonna marry her. "

And it's just all these things,
like, compounded

on this poor girl,
and she's just bound to break.

- Yeah, well, not dealing-

You said it.
I didn't.

She hung up on me again.

It's over.
There's nothing to live for.

- I can come over
and can listen to music, dude.

Music's a powerful drug.

- What do you say?

- What Hallie said?

- Yeah.

- No candy-coating.

This isn't easy for me, dude.

And I don't-but I'll tell ya.
I mean...

Last night, he didn't want
to see me.

Today,
he didn't want to see me.

He doesn't want to see anybody.

He's just really affected.

He's fucking crushed.

- Now that this Hallie thing's
coming down, man,

I could just sense Bobby
just trying to find

any excuse to fucking relapse

and go back and start
smoking crack.

I can start feeling it happen.

Bobby, listen to me.

It seemed like last time
we hung out,

I just got a feeling that you
might have smoked crack.

Did you smoke crack
since you've been here?

- No.

- Philip's playing here in a
couple weeks with his band Down.

He's got to be clean for that.

Their hesitation,
the business side of it,

is giving money to
a drug addict, man, you know?

And he's got
to be fucking clean

to back up me telling them
that he's clean

and is gonna be able to do it,
you know?

If he shows up fucked up,
it's gonna fuck it up.

- Being a person that has dealt
with his own demons and won...

- That's the truth.

- I just hope that one day

maybe he can do the same thing,
you know?

It would be a beautiful thing,
man.

- Appreciate that.

From the heart.

- Wow.

Can I eat anything I want?

Can I taste a piece
of pineapple?

- You sure?
- Get some.

- Mmm.

Well, they got it all.

The way it's supposed to be.

- Man, I got, like, so many
Pentagram t-shirts.

It's an honor having you here,
man.

There's just so much respect.

Personally, I'm sick of hearing
people say it's too late.

- Nah.
- It's never too late.

- Never, never, never.

- You know, there's a lot
of people, you know,

"Dude, there's no way
he can come back. "

- How many times have we been
written off?

- No, I know, man.

- If we're gonna get straight
to the bone and shit...

There is this wave
that I'm sure you're aware of-

young musicians that are
discovering Pentagram.

That's a gift, my brother.

- Sure it is.

- It's a fucking gift.

- Sure it is.

- And it's enough of a gift

for you to give yourself
a fucking break, man.

You've got your fucking health.

- I'm giving myself a break.

I kicked $300 of rock,
six Xanax bars,

105 milligrams of meth,

and a 10-pack of dope-
cold turkey.

- How's that throat feel?

- Fine.

- You can sing.

- Oh, I can sing my ass off.

- Really?
Are you ready?

- Yeah, well, you're the man
with the money.

- Well, you're the man with
the fucking record

that needs to kick fucking ass
too.

- Believe me, if you've heard
all my records,

I ain't done no record in my
opinion that hadn't kicked ass.

- You know what?

Robert, I'd be proud
to fucking do this.

I really would, man.

- We're coming now, Phil.

- Stand up.

- They're on stage.

- All right, man.
- I love you, baby.

- Me too, buddy.

- It's great, great to meet you,
man.

- Yep, I hope we can do
something, brother.

- Philip!
We got to go!

- Let's go, brother.

- Come on!

We're on the way.

Have a good show, bro.

- You know, I take him up
to meet Phil Anselmo,

and everything's pretty much
all set up.

On the fucking way home,

instead of focusing
on the positive,

he's still focusing on Hallie.

So as soon as we drop him off,
he literally got out of the car,

thanked me, all of a sudden
his eyes start to tear up,

and he says he doesn't want
to go home

to an empty apartment.

He's just...
he's at the end.

Again.

- I'm in the shower!
Five minutes!

- Can we come in?

- Uh, yeah, you can come in.

You can step over this shit.

Just stay out of here.

I'm on record
at Jefferson Hospital

of being epidemically covered
in scabies,

so is everything in
the whole goddamn place.

You think I'm lying?
I can prove every bit of it.

- Well, let's talk.

You don't have to prove it
to me.

Just please get ready-

- No, I have to prove it
to everybody,

'cause it's cocaine, cocaine,
cocaine, cocaine!

Buh-buh-buh-buh-buh!

The only thing I see here
is a fucking syringe.

- Yeah, there is a syringe.

There's a syringe, crack pipes,
all kinds of shit around here.

I quit.

A mega dose of methadone.

Mega heroin,
piggybacking it.

dropped in the course
of less than a month, okay?

- I give you huge credit
for that,

- No, it's not.

- And keeping you from making
real friends that care.

- Look, I gave up 99 out of 100.

I'm not Superman.
What do you want me to do?

Conquer the world overnight?

You're asking too much of me
now.

I'm on the verge
of a nervous breakdown

over all this drug shit.

- You have so much talent,

and you're smoking crack
on your couch.

It's heartbreaking.

- How much life do you think
I have left?

I think the damage is done.

Far and above.

- New message.

- Hi, Demian.
It's Diane.

I haven't heard from Bobby
since Friday.

Truthfully, I don't think
he's gonna last much longer.

I just have a feeling.

Either he's gonna overdose
or do something stupid.

And he's hung up on that
Hallie thing like crazy, so...

I can't kill myself anymore
over it,

and what will be, will be.

- New message.

- Hi, Demian.
It's Diane.

We still haven't heard
from Bobby,

and now we're really
extremely concerned.

Please call me.

Thank you.

Bye-bye.

- New message.

- I found out where Bobby is.

It's called CFCF,
under the prison system.

They took him there.
I don't know where it is.

I don't know how he is.

I'm sure he's suffering,
and we don't know what to do.

So when you get a chance,
you call.

Bye-bye.

- Philadelphia Prison Systems.

"Curran-Fromhold
Correctional Facility.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. "

Bobby's got a restraining order
on him,

which clearly says you cannot
fucking call Hallie.

He had fucking called Hallie.

Hallie picked up the phone
and said,

"That's it.
Now you're going to jail. "

Click.

I mean, this is a huge
reality check.

What's harder than jail?

What's the next step?
Death?

Who the fuck else is gonna
fucking do this for him?

I hate to sound like a dick-

I feel like I've just been-

I'm getting grizzled
and pricky

through this whole
fucking process.

He's completely surrounded
by chaos that he creates,

but it sucks everybody up in it
that's around him.

And maybe
I said this already,

but this past two weeks,

I was almost glad
that he was in jail-

just the fact that I know

he wasn't somewhere
hurting himself,

and I could concentrate
on my life

and what I really needed
to get done.

'Cause if I didn't get
this shit done,

I can't do anything for him.

So we'll see.

See, fucking work calls
right now.

$260 of bail,
$15 parking later,

we're finally on our way.

They told-
after bail went through,

they told us we have
four to six hours

before he's released,

so it's a total guessing game.

No one can give us any kind
of straight answers.

So we kind of cut the wait
in half.

We're headed there now.

It's dark.

I'm sure Bobby is freaking
to get out.

You know, the one thing
he talks about that he wants,

I'm sure, more than anything
is a bacon pizza,

which is all he eats,
by the way.

Anything bad for his heart,
Bobby Liebling will do it.

Love, drugs, bacon.

His life.

What's going on now is,

every time I fucking come
to get him out,

there's some other thing
going on.

They told me
an hour and a half.

We just went and waited
somewhere for over an hour.

We come back.

"Oh, we've got no one
downstairs. "

I'm like, "Here's his name.
He's been processed.

We paid at 3:00 today. "

"Well, there's no one
downstairs.

"I tell you what, if he's
not out within 15 minutes,

"he's gonna get out
on the next shift,

which is, uh...
12:00."

So that probably means
the next shift starts at 12:00,

so who knows
when he's gonna get out.

So we got to park
across the street,

which is, like, Mister-
at Mister Chubby's,

which is fitting,

'cause they're treating us
like fucking boners.

So now we got to wait
and just watch.

We got to watch across
the street,

which you can hardly see,

and we're gonna wait for him
to walk out of the gate.

We can't wait here all fucking
night in the goddamn car.

I skipped a whole day of work
today to bail him out.

He's still not out,

and now it's fucking up
my next day.

So I don't know what to do.

You know, if we decide to leave
and come back in the morning,

that's when he's gonna be
out here stranded, probably.

Know what I mean?

People keep asking me,
you know,

"Dude, why are you even
hanging in there?"

I've grown to love him
as a friend,

and I really believe in him
as a musician.

I don't know.

I'm really on the verge
of saying, "Fuck it. "

And just saying I tried.

I really don't know.
I keep going back and forth.

But I keep feeling like,

"Man, don't fucking throw it all
away yet, Pellet,

because we're on the verge of
fucking something happening. "

Cold in there?

- Huh, buddy?

That's my buddy.

There's my buddy, see?

Had to hook you up right away.

- How you doing, man?

- Uh, doing, like, you know.

- Is it all right?

- Here you go.
"Help me. "

I'm in prison again.

- Hey, you want some waters?

It's good to see you out, dude.

- Jesus.

- I'm nervous that you're out.
I'll admit it.

I didn't have to worry about you
in jail.

I knew you weren't doing
something dumb.

- I knew that.
I...

Do you even know
how many hours...

- Bobby obviously goes through
the same patterns.

It's always, he does good
for a couple weeks,

and then shit falls apart.

Bobby is just...

Robert Liebling.

He's a human,
and he's got incredible demons

that he has to battle
every fucking day.

That sounds cheesy, but I think
Bobby really is just doing

all this stuff
'cause he just needs love.

- There's nothing here.

I have nobody I can call
that can try to help.

I ain't got no relatives.

I ain't got no brother
or sister, right?

You know...

Fuck it.
I ain't got no kids.

I can't deal with myself.

I'm too immature.

I can't handle it, the pressure,
you know what I mean?

I have nothing here.

I thought I had a life here.

I don't got nothing anymore.

- I just got the new issue
of Rolling Stone.

I found the perfect girl
for Bobby.

She's fucking-
has no grip on-

they're in the same
reality space,

but she's got money,
and she's young and blonde.

Fucking Britney, dude.

I'm making some fucking calls
right now.

Bobby'd like her, right?

You want some tea?

I started to realize
that Bobby and I

might not have had
the same goals.

My goal was for him to focus
on the music.

All I could get him
to focus to

when he was up here
was Hallie.

Damn, man, it smells like
an old man's dirty pants.

He got out of jail.
Stuff just wasn't rolling.

Phil Anselmo, you know,
caught wind of it.

Bobby was kind of a mess
and in jail.

And that's, you know,
totally put on hold.

Bobby moved back home
with his mom.

He did, you know,
typical Bobby kind of stuff.

- Basement?

- Living in the sub-basement.
You know?

But one good thing
that came out of it is,

being back around
all that Maryland scene,

there was people down there
who were just, you know,

willing to help him out

and got together
and got him psyched again

about playing music.

I really think, in a way,

this is kind of
what he needed to do.

He got a complete wake-up call
by going to jail.

He got some love.

As heartbroken as he is,

I think he's got a little bit
of confidence from it.

- Hey, is this on?

Yes, it is!

Okay.

- Since he's had a full band,

Bobby is just psyched
to play shows.

We could definitely play D.C.
and probably do pretty well.

But to make the biggest punch,
to get the most out of press,

and just to have
the biggest, you know,

appearance or profile
is gonna be New York City.

So we chose New York.

They're at a top-notch venue.

We demanded a lot of money.
We're getting it.

There's also, again,
a lot on the line

because in the contract
that I have to sign,

it says if the band does not
show up for whatever reason,

if stuff doesn't happen,

it's my name on there
that I'm responsible for.

So what I really need
Bobby to do

is just focus again
on the music.

I'm just very confused
right now.

There's this angel
I just wanted to talk to

while I was still
hanging around, mortal.

- Is that keeping you from
focusing on stuff or are you...

- Ain't easy.

Show must go on.

But it ain't easy, you know.

Got to keep rocking,
or I start crying.

Sort of like that, you know?

Come on!

- Every single thing you do
with Bobby Liebling has a risk.

Whether it's a record
coming out,

whether it's a show or whatever,
it's a risk.

I mean, it definitely makes
shit exciting.

But it's putting gray
in my beard, you know?

- It surprises me, people who
go out and buy advance tickets

for Pentagram shows, sometimes.

You know, it's like, man,
I would just wait

until the night of the show
and go to the door,

because why sink your money
into something

that you don't know is even
going to happen?

- It's kind of an uphill battle
right now,

because the last couple shows
that Bobby played

are legendary-

a legendary mess.

- Yeah, there was this doom
metal festival or something,

and this promoter guy goes,

"Man, I need you to play
this gig and headline this gig. "

You know, "You got to do it. "

And I asked Bobby, I said,
"You think we can do it?"

I went to play the gig,
and it was packed with people.

It's getting later and later,
and Bobby doesn't show.

Then Bobby doesn't show.

And the club owner comes up
and goes, "Man, you got to play.

They're gonna tear my club up. "

I said, "There's-I don't have
a singer here. "

Unfortunately, our singer
won't show up tonight

'cause he's just too
fucking cool for all of us,

so let's give it a big,
"Fuck you, you asshole!"

Right?

- Fuck you!

- We're gonna play anyway.

And I gave the microphone
to the audience.

I say, "It's Pentagram
karaoke night.

Here you go. "

Then Bobby showed up at the last
two measures of the last song.

I kicked him in the leg
and then...

and I think I had a cordless
guitar that night or something,

but I was playing from
behind the speakers

where he couldn't rock out
with me, you know?

That's how it happened,

and that kind of broke us up,
really.

I said, "Forget it, man.
I can't do that again.

Not at my age. "

You know-shit.
I'm almost 20 now, so...

- Come on,
you fucking junkie!

- Play!

- Play a song,
you fucking junkie!

You fucking dope-shooter!

You fucking rip-off!

Bullshit!

- He's got this Jim Morrison
thing going on now

or something, where you just
never know what's gonna happen.

The last...

the last time he played
was The Black Oat show in D.C.

- Oh, okay.
The Black Oat incident?

That's like the incident
at Roswell.

2,000 people
crammed in this place,

and I'm going,
"He's finally made it.

Damn, I'm glad I came tonight.
You know, this is great. "

- People are fucking charged.

You see the band
take the stage.

Literally, the guy next to me
is biting his lip.

But there's something missing.
Where's Bobby?

- Apparently, he'd overdosed.

And he fell asleep in my arms
like a baby

in the dressing room.

Somebody knew
the rescue squad guy.

They came and got him,

and then they shot him up
with something.

I don't know what.

He goes, "I'm ready to play. "

- I see Bobby on the side
of the stage being propped up,

looking like he's being
carried over to the stage.

- Grabs a mic,

and that was it.

Stumbles backwards,
falls on the drum riser.

Crawls off the fucking stage.

- When he left, it was in
the big freight elevator-

in a straitjacket.

And there's orange lights,

and instead of the doors
coming together like this,

they shut like a mouth,
a giant, metallic mouth,

and he was gone.

I thought, "That's it.

That's the last time
I'll see him. "

Man, I'll remember that
the rest of my life.

- You know, I monitor
Bobby's Myspace page.

Soon as you announce these
shows, dude, this thing lit up.

It was just amazing.

Every time I come on, there's
all these friend requests.

I had 12 pages
of friend requests.

This might be fake,
but Bobby would like it.

One of the best things for me,
dude-

this is a total triumph.

This one kid says to me,

"I only heard Pentagram
two months ago,

"but I can't believe
the influence

it's had on my life already. "

You know, this is from, like,
this 19-year-old kid,

so in the middle of nowhere,
USA,

who must have picked up a First
Daze Here record or whatever,

and it's just changed his life,

and it's the same thing
it did to me,

and it's exactly what I want
to do with Bobby.

Oh, right here.

"Love, love, love your music.

"Saw the opening band
at a Witchcraft gig

"cover a tune of yours.

The place went crazy. "

"Pentagram forever.

"Many, many thanks
for this great music.

I love it and I need it
every day. "

And again, just people
just rooting for Bobby.

Look at this.
It's great.

It goes on and on and on.

Again, I just get choked up,

'cause I'm a freaking
sissy-hippie butt.

I'm not a sissy, but...

At first I got involved
with Bobby,

I wanted to have Bobby's music
heard.

That was the main goal, right?

It was just pretty much
all about Bobby.

Now at this point,
it's become about me too.

My whole life has been in music.

My greatest accomplishment,
to me personally, is Pentagram.

If I can't make it happen,

then I've got to fucking wake up
and grow up,

like my parents keep telling me
to do.

Out my hair
and get a goddamn job.

It's gonna suck.

Bobby, Hallie and I
texted each other,

and she sent me a couple
of lengthy messages

that I can read if you want.

She's not gonna be
at either show.

There's no way in hell.

I do know what this means
to you-trust me, I do.

- One of the nights.
You know what?

- Let me put it this way.

I've got so much invested
in this.

I've gone beyond the deposit.

I've spent my own money
on this.

I need these shows to happen.

I'll do whatever it takes
to make these shows happen.

If it means fucking lying
to Hallie

and telling her
she'll get a $1 million

if she shows up,
I'll do it.

But I just don't have
high hopes,

and you got to get it out
of your head

that she's gonna show up or not.

And I know that.

- So what else am I supposed
to do?

She basically said,
Bobby is-

you know,
in not so many words-

off his rocker,
doing cocaine again.

You have to go down
to Germantown,

get him out
of the sub-basement,

and bring him to Philly,

or he's not gonna play
these shows.

So she knows.

- Listen, you got to leave
in ten hours.

I don't know if she's wrong yet
or not.

Your hair's not dyed.
You should-

It's 10:30 at night.

Your fucking clothes
aren't dry-cleaned.

I should have went down
and got you.

I hope so.

- If you're doing what you said
you were gonna do,

let's just do it.

We're gonna get in an argument,
we're gonna raise our voices,

and your voice is gonna be
even...

- I will promise you I will send
that text.

Honestly, Bobby, I'm super
stressed out right now,

and I'm just-

I'll send her that text,

but I got to finish
this merch stuff.

I got to do a bunch of shit
for the shows.

- Please relax tonight
and take your bath and chill,

and I'm gonna do...

- Did you think this was
gonna go any other way?

- Yeah, I did,

because Bobby's been really
fucking focused lately.

I mean, he's been really
heartbroken over Hallie,

and that, you know,
and any time

I need a ten-minute conversation
out of him,

I figure it's gonna be an hour
'cause I got to-

50 minutes of Hallie,
which is fine.

He's my friend.
It's cool.

I know what it's like to suffer
that way, and it's cool.

But through it all, he's really
getting kind of focused,

and it's like he's focused
to prove this to her.

I mean, you know,
I think he thinks

if he pulls these two shows off

and shows that he can really
do it,

he'll be able to take care
of her

and make money and all that.

He's doing these shows
just for her.

And now that she's not there,
he doesn't want to do 'em,

but he can't back out.

I mean, it's not just me

who's got money and time
involved in this.

It's a lot of people.

- "Pentagarm. "

"Pentagarm," it says.

It does.
It says g-a-r-m.

That's all right.

I live in hell anyway.
What's the fucking difference?

- Check, uh.

Uh-uh.

Hey-hey-hey,
check-check-check.

82.

- Yeah, there's my pants.

That's all I'm wearing
for pants.

It's just black, tight pants.

This I'm thinking is what people
like, 'cause it's paisley.

You know what I mean?

And it's very, very old look.

A '70, you know, '60s, whatever.

It's hippie, all right?

But...
you can't out-flamboyant that.

That's a motherfucker,
isn't it?

I mean, this is a true-

feel this thing.

Feel how bizarre it feels.

The first time that I started
using these clothes,

did I think I'd be breaking
them out again?

I thought
I'd be throwing them out,

but I don't know about
breaking them out.

It's weird, isn't it?

They're all my mom's.

I just thank God above for
everything that has transpired,

and the people have
phenomenally

astonished me,
astounded me

with their devotion
and their mega support.

And it's finally caught on
to the fact that...

what goes
will always come back.

- We came all the way from L.A.
for this,

and it's a really important
night, obviously.

It's almost like Bobby's return,
you know?

- Hey, everybody
in the whole place, man,

God bless all of you,

and I mean it from the bottom
of my heart, thank you.

I mean it.

- Thank you.
- Thank you, Bobby.

- I truly mean it.
God bless all of you.

- Bobby!

The legend!

Pentagram!

Pentagram! Pentagram!
Pentagram!

- I love you.

God bless all of you.

I can't believe this is real.

I mean, I do.

I want to thank you from
the bottom of my heart,

and I mean this
deep down inside.

You came through.

Without you, I ain't.

You get my message?

Thank God for all of you!

- Thank you.
Thank you.

- Made my fucking lifetime, man.

- Thanks, Bobby.
Thank you so much.

I know you're tired.
Thank you so much.

- Bobby,
that was fucking awesome.

- That was great.

- Thank you, Bobby.
That was awesome, man.

It was right on.

- It was overpowering.

I'm still feeling-
I'm getting choked up.

I mean, I went from laughing,
like, hysterically

to, like, crying.

I just-I can't explain it,

and for me,
I just felt like a kid.

To be on the side of the stage
and watching my favorite band

at their biggest show ever,

and knowing I had something
to do with it, I just-

it's like-it's a fucking
Christmas gift, dude.

You know?

It's fucking Hanukkah,
Christmas, and Kwanzaa

all in one,

and Bobby Liebling delivering
the presents.

It's fucking great.

If it all falls apart now,
I'm fucking happy as shit.

If an arrow fucking comes,
hits me in the head right now,

I don't care;
I feel great.

I'm just psyched, dude.

This is the best night
of my life, really.

- I'm alive.

I'm alive,
and that's something

that I would have never
expected,

and three or four
hospital record books

say the same damn thing.

But, you know,

who knows what
you got in the cards, right?

You got to spin that wheel.

"Life is like
a box of chocolates.

You never know
what you're gonna get. "

Okay.

Come out and get your breakfast,
baby.

It's sausage and toast.

Hallie?
Hal?

- Coming.
- You want to come out and eat?

All right?

Here, I'm gonna show them
half of the eggs.

I had to scramble them,
but they're-

Daddy makes a good breakfast.

- After he played
the Webster Hall show,

he started getting the ball
rolling again with his work

and had started, like,
at least trying

to get out of his parents'

and having something to do

rather than just sitting around
and destroying himself.

I had always thought about him.

He'd never left my mind,

and I just called
to check on him.

It progressed from there.

From him coming back here
to visit and him being sober,

we're just both really happy,
and it's pretty harmonious.

Like, I like his intensity

because it's different from
what I am,

and we meet, like,
somewhere in the middle.

But it's not so outrageous,
like how it was.

It's a kind, natural intensity
rather than craziness.

It's really been incredible
to watch his metamorphosis.

Bobby's like a miracle to me.

I just have to kind of trust
my heart and my instincts

in this situation.

I have had to a lot,
like, um,

and just trust him
because he's more likely

to pan out the way
that I want him to

if I trust him sincerely,

instead of, you know,
just half-ass,

like,
"Okay, we'll see how it goes. "

But, like, just having one foot
in the water.

Here-I'm not supposed to do
this,

but you can have one more piece
of toast.

Here, one more bite for you
is all.

After the American tour, we had
a very deep, unified period

that I recall pretty well

of bonding with intent of...

this is for eternity.

- We got married
the end of November.

- Day before Thanksgiving.

- Yeah, it was the day before
Thanksgiving.

- You know, right there.
That's it.

It's for life.

You know, love is forever,
and love is for two.

- I got to put it on
his joke-shop finger too,

the one with the knuckle
cut out.

As his wedding finger.

We were getting married,
and I was like,

"Aw, I get to put it on
his little fucked-up finger. "

- The cute little finger.

- Yeah, my joke-shop finger.

- Yeah, it's like...

- It's like it doesn't have
any knuckle.

- Yeah, there's no knuckle.

- We've been through
an awful lot

in the two-plus years

that we've, you know,
known each other,

and now we're on paper,

and this is
Mrs. Robert Liebling.

- I looked at all of your labs.

Everything looks great.

- I am very ecstatically,
happily married

and, uh, expecting.

There's a bun in the oven.

I don't know another way
to put it, you know?

It's gonna be corny anyway,
but it's not corny to me.

It's my whole life.

We're gonna have a baby.

- Hold this?

- Do you have names picked out
for girls or boys?

- Yeah, we agree on nothing.

- You can lie down.
- We agree on next to nothing.

Sounds about right.

It's, like, coming in and out
of my little machine.

- Mm-hmm.

- What a troublemaker.

Come on. Come back.

There we go.

Sounds perfect.

Perfect.

Right where it should be.

That's great.

- That's something I never
dreamt would ever come about.

And, um...
look out, world.

There's gonna be another me.
