00:00:04,296 --> 00:00:05,296
[woman] How was that?
2
00:00:05,380 --> 00:00:08,930
{\an8}[man] Now, a very pretty legato,
very pretty melody.
3
00:00:09,009 --> 00:00:10,009
{\an8}You like that?
4
00:00:10,093 --> 00:00:11,803
{\an8}I like that.
But it's gotta be harder, you know,
5
00:00:11,887 --> 00:00:14,097
{\an8}when we write the lyric to it,
it will be different.
6
00:00:14,181 --> 00:00:18,271
[vocalizing]
7
00:00:19,102 --> 00:00:21,062
[man 2]
When I met Carole back in New York,
8
00:00:21,146 --> 00:00:24,066
{\an8}I was shaking in my shoes
'cause I knew all about Goffin and King,
9
00:00:24,149 --> 00:00:26,739
{\an8}the legendary songwriting team.
And I knew how great they were.
10
00:00:26,818 --> 00:00:29,398
And she was a brilliant arranger
and had arranged a lot of singles
11
00:00:29,488 --> 00:00:32,658
for the Drifters and other big acts.
So she really knew her stuff.
12
00:00:34,952 --> 00:00:39,872
{\an8}[man 3] Carole came from New York
to California probably around '68.
13
00:00:39,957 --> 00:00:44,587
{\an8}She had, uh, recently been separated
from Gerry Goffin,
14
00:00:44,670 --> 00:00:48,050
{\an8}and I guess it was the beginnings
of her new life.
15
00:00:50,592 --> 00:00:52,762
{\an8}In those days
I didn't really write lyrics.
16
00:00:52,845 --> 00:00:56,845
{\an8}Didn't need to. After we got divorced,
I needed to. [chuckles]
17
00:00:56,932 --> 00:00:59,892
And I really wondered if I could do it,
but I guess I did.
18
00:00:59,977 --> 00:01:01,807
[applause]
19
00:01:01,895 --> 00:01:04,895

as a solo writer.

[Kortchmar] What was expressed in that
song is something that everyone feels,
25
00:01:38,182 --> 00:01:40,682
{\an8}and everyone would like someone
to feel about them.
26
00:01:40,767 --> 00:01:45,147
{\an8}That was also one of her first lyrics.
As a way to start, it's pretty incredible.
27
00:01:45,230 --> 00:01:48,780
[King] Songwriting became
my place of identification.
28
00:01:48,859 --> 00:01:54,199

{\an8}You could put a name on the genre.

{\an8}They were basically poets
that could put their poems to music.
37
00:02:31,401 --> 00:02:35,531
{\an8}[man] I don't think you'll ever see a
creative burst like that musically again.
38
00:02:35,614 --> 00:02:39,994
{\an8}You could probably buy ten albums a week
that became pretty classic albums.

{\an8}That if I described my own changes through
whatever the decade was throwing at us,
43
00:02:53,924 --> 00:02:56,764
that there were others like me.
And it turns out that there were.

metropolis of Southern California.
56
00:04:09,917 --> 00:04:15,877
[Adler] In 1971, the industry had shifted
from New York to California.
57
00:04:15,964 --> 00:04:17,974
It was just so appealing.
58
00:04:18,050 --> 00:04:21,680
Up in Laurel Canyon
you could get the feeling
59
00:04:21,762 --> 00:04:26,142

five minutes away from the Sunset Strip.

I remember driving around

{\an8}up in the canyons in Crosby's car
with the good stereo.
75
00:05:12,020 --> 00:05:14,020
{\an8}It reminded me of cottages at the lake.
76
00:05:14,106 --> 00:05:16,856
There were no sidewalks.
There were no regimented lines.
77

The ruralness, having lived in New York
and then come here,

I was becoming, it was right before Blue.
92
00:06:09,995 --> 00:06:12,705
Oh, my God,
a lot of people are listening to me.
93
00:06:13,415 --> 00:06:16,745
Well, then they better find out
who they're worshipping.
94
00:06:16,835 --> 00:06:19,625
Let's see if they can take it.
Let's get real.
95
00:06:19,713 --> 00:06:24,013
So I wrote Blue, which horrified a lot
of people, 'cause it was a man's world.
96
00:06:24,092 --> 00:06:27,682
Kris Kristofferson went,
"Joni, keep something of yourself."

'Cause it was unprecedented
in its vulnerability in a certain way,
98
00:06:31,308 --> 00:06:33,018
but it was all I was capable of.
99
00:06:34,728 --> 00:06:36,978
This is a song that isn't really
finished, you know.
100
00:06:37,064 --> 00:06:41,194
It needs another verse to it still,
but, um, it's got a little bit of it there

and, uh, when I go home late at night,

called Blue, is a brilliant album,

00:07:12,516 --> 00:07:14,346
{\an8}but a little painful for me.
108

I think that's what makes it
so incredibly relevant.
120
00:08:02,566 --> 00:08:05,186
[Mitchell] They all recoiled
because the game was
121
00:08:05,277 --> 00:08:07,947

[Ronstadt] Joni Mitchell was redefining
the way people write songs.
128
00:08:31,220 --> 00:08:34,720
{\an8}You write about what you feel, what you're
thinking, what you're going through.
129
00:08:34,806 --> 00:08:37,426
{\an8}And that was her way of trying
to process that sadness.
130
00:08:38,309 --> 00:08:40,849
{\an8}[woman] She wanted to get
to the heart of things.
131
00:08:40,938 --> 00:08:43,898
{\an8}And she wasn't afraid
of getting to the heart of things.
132
00:08:43,982 --> 00:08:47,742
{\an8}But hearing that from a woman,
it felt very exposed.
133
00:08:47,819 --> 00:08:52,449

were all that comfortable at the time.

It was really the very traditional role
141
00:09:14,596 --> 00:09:16,426
that the husband went out to work
142
00:09:16,515 --> 00:09:21,135
and the wife was really educated
but she was devoted to her home.
143
00:09:21,228 --> 00:09:26,358

found a cleaner for the floor. [chuckles]

that was put forth
in terms of mainstream media.

{\an8}Our mothers had bought in
to the white picket fence,

{\an8}[Atlas] American Family
was the very daring documentary film
157
00:10:04,146 --> 00:10:08,566
{\an8}where you see this journey of a woman,
who was raised pretty traditionally,
158
00:10:08,650 --> 00:10:11,530
realize that her marriage
was not what she thought it was.
159
00:10:12,237 --> 00:10:16,907
-My face fall off? [chuckles]
-No, you got a little Vaseline on it.
160
00:10:16,992 --> 00:10:18,872
[both chuckling]
161
00:10:18,952 --> 00:10:22,832
[Atlas] She came out of that time
when the expectation of women
162
00:10:22,915 --> 00:10:26,455
{\an8}of her education and her economic class,
163
00:10:26,543 --> 00:10:28,673
{\an8}it was to get married and stay married.
164
00:10:29,296 --> 00:10:33,086
And all of a sudden, it was like,
"Oh, my heavens. What's gonna happen?
165
00:10:33,175 --> 00:10:34,965
Is she really gonna leave her husband?"
166
00:10:36,386 --> 00:10:37,926
Great. Is she in town?
167
00:10:38,013 --> 00:10:41,143
Is she in town now, Marline,
or, uh, is she just going through?
168
00:10:41,225 --> 00:10:44,475
[woman] Who, Milly? She's in town.
Oh, you should see her. My God, she's--
169
00:10:44,561 --> 00:10:46,231
[Pat Loud] What do you care for, Bill?
170
00:10:46,313 --> 00:10:48,573
[Bill Loud] Oh, I-- [laughs] Whoop.
171
00:10:49,858 --> 00:10:52,358
I just wanna authenticate everything, Pat.
172
00:10:52,444 --> 00:10:54,744
And make sure that we have
all our records straight.

176
00:11:05,249 --> 00:11:07,039
[Kortchmar] We watched what looked like
177
00:11:07,125 --> 00:11:10,165
{\an8}a very normal Californian family
in Santa Barbara.
178
00:11:10,254 --> 00:11:12,264
{\an8}There was a lot of skeletons
in the closet,
179
00:11:12,339 --> 00:11:15,839
and this kind of ripped the veneer
off the polite American family.
180
00:11:15,926 --> 00:11:18,596
And that's what made it
such an important document at the time.
181

did you find it difficult
to write about it?
206
00:13:07,913 --> 00:13:10,043
[King]
I didn't find it difficult to write about
207
00:13:10,123 --> 00:13:12,923
because, in fact, writing about it
208
00:13:13,001 --> 00:13:16,511
gave me that opportunity
to put it in perspective
209
00:13:16,588 --> 00:13:20,838

my personal feelings as a woman,

[King] The single incident
that made me a performer
230
00:14:25,866 --> 00:14:28,826
was James Taylor pushing me out onstage.
231
00:14:29,453 --> 00:14:32,663
James Taylor
was gonna open at the Troubadour,
232
00:14:32,748 --> 00:14:35,418
and they asked me to be his opening act.
233
00:14:35,501 --> 00:14:39,051

to the Troubadour this evening.

[applause]
236
00:14:44,259 --> 00:14:47,469
{\an8}[Kortchmar] At that point, the Troubadour
was the only game in town.
237
00:14:47,554 --> 00:14:49,814
{\an8}It was the perfect place
for a singer-songwriter
238
00:14:49,890 --> 00:14:52,310
{\an8}to debut their act in Los Angeles.
239
00:14:52,392 --> 00:14:54,312
Carole was very reluctant to perform.
240
00:14:54,394 --> 00:14:57,364
She was terribly shy about performing,
getting onstage.
241
00:14:58,023 --> 00:15:00,233
[King]
I had my act really carefully worked out,
242
00:15:00,317 --> 00:15:02,567
and I knew exactly what I was gonna do.
243
00:15:02,653 --> 00:15:06,703
And at the end of my third number,
I hear this voice coming over a speaker.
244
00:15:06,782 --> 00:15:08,782
A disembodied voice saying...
245
00:15:08,867 --> 00:15:13,117
[woman, on PA] Carole, we're going
to have to ask everybody to leave.
246
00:15:13,205 --> 00:15:15,785
There's been a report that there's a bomb.
247
00:15:16,458 --> 00:15:19,378
[King] And I'm saying,
"As long as it's not me!"
248
00:15:20,128 --> 00:15:23,298
And everybody laughed,
and the tension was broken,
249
00:15:23,382 --> 00:15:27,642
and what I learned that night was that
the audience want me to be myself.
250
00:15:27,719 --> 00:15:29,429
That was the thing that put me over
251
00:15:29,513 --> 00:15:31,773

at the Troubadour between '70, '71, '72,
255
00:15:46,405 --> 00:15:48,865
everyone played there.
Cat Stevens played there.
256
00:15:48,949 --> 00:15:52,409
Elton John of course made his famous debut
there with just a trio.
257
00:15:52,494 --> 00:15:54,124
And tore the hell out of the place.

careers there. Joni Mitchell played there.

a very shy young man.
266
00:16:28,488 --> 00:16:31,118
And we just rocked the house away.
267
00:16:35,787 --> 00:16:41,207
{\an8}[Adler] The crowd, which was
a very music business crowd,
268
00:16:41,293 --> 00:16:43,803
{\an8}also realized that here's a major star.
269

as a singer-songwriter.

It looked so glamorous.

336

[John] It was essential for my career
that I went to America
337
00:20:33,358 --> 00:20:36,198
because, basically,
that's where my music comes from.

[male announcer] This is the Chelsea Hotel
in New York City
339

{\an8}where Lance Loud has been living
for the past two months.
340
00:20:49,166 --> 00:20:52,786
{\an8}He's sharing a room with a friend
named Soren Agenoux.
341
00:20:53,629 --> 00:20:57,879
They are awaiting the arrival
of Pat Loud, Lance's mother.
342
00:20:57,966 --> 00:21:01,756
[Lance] Because, for one thing, I want to
make sure we get into that play tonight.
343
00:21:01,845 --> 00:21:05,135
{\an8}[Pat Loud]
I instinctively knew Lance was gay,
344
00:21:05,224 --> 00:21:08,104
{\an8}although the word never came up.
345
00:21:08,185 --> 00:21:10,095
{\an8}But it was pretty clear.
346
00:21:11,980 --> 00:21:17,150
Lance, from the time he was, like, 13,
was nuts about Andy Warhol.
347
00:21:17,236 --> 00:21:19,946
And he had quite a correspondence
with him.
348
00:21:20,030 --> 00:21:21,240
[Lance Loud] Sitting here talking to--
349
00:21:21,323 --> 00:21:26,663
{\an8}[Atlas] Lance Loud didn't conform
to what people expected of young men then.
350
00:21:26,745 --> 00:21:28,535
-Hello. How are you?
-[woman] Kiss me quickly.
351
00:21:28,622 --> 00:21:31,542
[Atlas] Seeing him reflected
in a series like that on television,
352
00:21:31,625 --> 00:21:33,835
there'd never been anything
like that before.
353
00:21:33,919 --> 00:21:36,799
And it took a while
for anything to be like that again.
354
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,630
And it was very powerful.
355
00:21:40,592 --> 00:21:44,892
{\an8}[Pat Loud] I hadn't been hardly any place.
I'd been in Oregon and California.
356
00:21:44,972 --> 00:21:47,982
{\an8}And when they said "Chelsea Hotel,"
357
00:21:48,058 --> 00:21:51,098
I thought,
"Oh, that's a nice little English place.
358
00:21:51,186 --> 00:21:54,106
And there'll be just
a charming little old lady
359
00:21:54,189 --> 00:21:56,729
taking care of it at the front desk."
360
00:21:56,817 --> 00:22:01,607
So, I walk in there and I get almost
knocked over by the scent of marijuana.
361
00:22:01,697 --> 00:22:03,817
[receptionist]
Yes, uh, what's the name, please?
362
00:22:04,616 --> 00:22:06,986
I guess I should dress up or something--
I need--
363
00:22:07,077 --> 00:22:10,367
-I keep feeling like I should just--
-Lance? Get over here.
364
00:22:10,455 --> 00:22:11,995
Hello. [kisses]
365
00:22:12,791 --> 00:22:14,961
-How are you?
-Fine.
366
00:22:15,043 --> 00:22:17,553
-I couldn't even find you.
-[Lance] Oh, this is Soren.

00:22:17,629 --> 00:22:19,129
-Hi.
-Hi, Soren. How are you doing?
368
00:22:19,214 --> 00:22:20,594
Nice to meet you.
369
00:22:20,674 --> 00:22:22,184
-I thought--
-You look really nice.
370
00:22:22,259 --> 00:22:25,139
I thought you were going to come
down and be in the lobby,
371
00:22:25,220 --> 00:22:27,220
and I got down there
and you weren't there.
372
00:22:27,306 --> 00:22:29,676
-You look so nice. Yeah.
-Thank you, love.
373
00:22:29,766 --> 00:22:33,436
Well, it's certainly a surprise. I was
just going to go upstairs to see you.
374
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:34,520
I thought you were...
375
00:22:34,605 --> 00:22:36,895
[Pat Loud] Lance wasn't like anybody
I've ever known.
376
00:22:36,982 --> 00:22:41,862
He was difficult beyond belief,
but he was a fascinating person.
377
00:22:41,945 --> 00:22:44,275
[Lance] We're going to the, uh,
La MaMa Theatre tonight.
378
00:22:44,364 --> 00:22:45,784
-We--
-What play?
379
00:22:45,866 --> 00:22:47,616
Vain Victory with Jackie Curtis.
380
00:22:47,701 --> 00:22:50,411
It's the ultimate of the underground,
you'll just think it's so neat.
381
00:22:50,495 --> 00:22:51,785
-[Soren] You'd like it.
-Yeah.
382
00:22:51,872 --> 00:22:54,372
Ondine and all the underground stars
are in it. It's a big play.
383
00:22:54,458 --> 00:22:56,708
All these wonderful people
I haven't even heard of.
384
00:22:56,793 --> 00:22:59,883

But you've dreamed of them.
385
00:22:59,963 --> 00:23:02,303
[chuckles] Do you wanna go upstairs?
386
00:23:02,382 --> 00:23:03,932
-Mm-hmm.
-Okay.
387
00:23:04,009 --> 00:23:06,139
I hope that my room
is as elegant as yours.
388
00:23:06,220 --> 00:23:08,260

-Okay, fine.
-Okay.
395
00:23:25,405 --> 00:23:29,445
{\an8}[Holly Woodlawn] My friends called me up
and said, "Oh, turn on the radio.
396
00:23:29,535 --> 00:23:32,245

just wrote a song about you."

400
00:23:46,093 --> 00:23:49,433
And he was there.
And he was in the corner.
401
00:23:49,513 --> 00:23:52,313
He was a shy, quiet guy.
402
00:23:53,183 --> 00:23:56,403
So I asked him,
"How do you know so much about me?"
403
00:23:57,145 --> 00:24:02,145
He said, "Holly,
because you have a big mouth." [chuckles]
404
00:24:03,569 --> 00:24:06,199
Because all he said
was, you know, the truth.
405
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,070
I plucked my eyebrows and shaved my legs.
406
00:24:09,157 --> 00:24:12,037

408

the Warhol crowd, and all that.
410
00:24:24,047 --> 00:24:26,587
So I think he's just, uh,
411
00:24:27,342 --> 00:24:30,142
sort of, I don't wanna say "voyeuristic,"
412
00:24:30,220 --> 00:24:36,230
but I, you know, he just wrote songs
about what he saw and knew.
413
00:24:40,981 --> 00:24:44,611
When Lou wrote "Walk on the Wild Side,"
414
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:48,490
he made me immortal.
415
00:24:54,286 --> 00:24:57,406
[Lance] There are all those different
individual little cells of people,
416
00:24:57,497 --> 00:25:01,207
and they're all famous and all, like--
417
00:25:01,293 --> 00:25:05,883
Now that I look back at my life,
I keep thinking, like, you know,
418
00:25:05,964 --> 00:25:11,684
when I was 13, I-- I don't know,
it was like being a little mouse
419
00:25:11,762 --> 00:25:14,812
and trapped in a box in some--
in a little quiet room--
420
00:25:14,890 --> 00:25:17,390
I'm not saying that we led such, you know,
421
00:25:17,476 --> 00:25:20,646
a super average, ordinary life, but--
422
00:25:20,729 --> 00:25:22,809
But you went into your room one year
423
00:25:22,898 --> 00:25:24,978
and you didn't come out
for about two more years.
424
00:25:25,067 --> 00:25:26,067

Except at night
when you lurched out the window.
426
00:25:28,070 --> 00:25:30,030
I know, but it was all frustration,
you know.
427
00:25:30,113 --> 00:25:33,873
I felt so frustrated at being--

442
00:26:26,628 --> 00:26:31,588
{\an8}[man] One of the things that was pretty
radical for its time about the series
443
00:26:31,675 --> 00:26:35,885
{\an8}was that being gay, homosexual, in 1971,
444
00:26:35,971 --> 00:26:37,431
was pretty shocking.
445
00:26:37,514 --> 00:26:40,234
The family didn't disown him,
446
00:26:40,309 --> 00:26:43,229
and in fact, I think in some ways,
447
00:26:43,312 --> 00:26:46,942
Pat became the gold standard of gay moms.
448
00:26:47,024 --> 00:26:49,324
[speaking indistinctly]
449
00:26:49,401 --> 00:26:53,781
{\an8}[Atlas] She was so open and willing
to see things differently
450
00:26:53,864 --> 00:26:56,914
{\an8}than, perhaps, the way
she was raised to see things.
451
00:26:56,992 --> 00:27:00,622
{\an8}It was a huge eye-opener
for a lot of people in 1971.
452
00:27:01,288 --> 00:27:02,708
[chuckles]
453
00:27:02,789 --> 00:27:05,379
{\an8}[John] People were being very brave
because they felt they could.
454
00:27:05,459 --> 00:27:08,249
{\an8}You know, I grew up in the '50s,
you couldn't say boo to a goose.
455
00:27:08,337 --> 00:27:11,007
{\an8}People, behind their curtains,
they were gossiped about.
456
00:27:11,089 --> 00:27:12,879
You couldn't get divorced.
You couldn't, you know.
457
00:27:12,966 --> 00:27:14,886
If you were pregnant, you were sent away.
458
00:27:14,968 --> 00:27:17,138
The '60s opened up the possibilities,
459
00:27:17,221 --> 00:27:20,311
and in the '70s
it just went straight the way.
460
00:27:20,390 --> 00:27:22,940
And I think that had a lot to do
with people's creativity,
461
00:27:23,018 --> 00:27:26,518
and I think it had a lot to do with people
thinking, "Listen, I can do anything."
462
00:27:27,356 --> 00:27:29,856
[man] We're here to let America know
that we exist.

We're not a myth of any type.
464
00:27:32,194 --> 00:27:33,494
{\an8}The early 1970s
465
00:27:33,570 --> 00:27:37,990
{\an8}was about particular socially excluded
and marginalized groups of people
466
00:27:38,075 --> 00:27:40,115
coming together to defend who they were.
467
00:27:40,202 --> 00:27:42,202
And to demand their place in the sun.
468
00:27:42,287 --> 00:27:45,167
We want the freedoms.
The freedoms to love in public,
469
00:27:45,249 --> 00:27:47,379
that belong to the heterosexuals
in this country.
470

And we're going to have them.
471
00:27:51,839 --> 00:27:55,219

thought everyone knew that I was gay.

[man] When he became Elton John,
474
00:28:01,473 --> 00:28:05,443

he wasn't allowed to do as a child.
475
00:28:05,519 --> 00:28:07,729
{\an8}He was escaping this repression
476
00:28:07,813 --> 00:28:10,153
that was forced upon him
when he was younger.

[John sings indistinctly]
478
00:28:12,067 --> 00:28:14,437

I got amorance towards you, besides.
642
00:37:35,339 --> 00:37:38,339
-Oh, you're so full of shit.
-[laughs] Uh...
643
00:37:38,425 --> 00:37:40,635
{\an8}[Greer] In most marriages,
you make allowances,
644
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,969
{\an8}you try to fit in,
you try to make it work,
645
00:37:43,055 --> 00:37:46,885
{\an8}you try to keep it happy and calm,
and fulfilled and all,
646
00:37:46,975 --> 00:37:48,845
and then one day you think,
"You know what?"
647
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:50,600
[Pat Loud] Ha ha.
648
00:37:52,147 --> 00:37:54,897
"Too Late Now." You know that song?
649
00:37:54,983 --> 00:37:58,113
That Carole King song? Too late, baby!

to make Tapestry.
661
00:38:58,839 --> 00:39:02,929
{\an8}The album exploded. It wasn't
one of those that we had to sit around
662
00:39:03,010 --> 00:39:06,100
{\an8}and wait and see what was gonna happen.
It truly exploded.
663
00:39:06,889 --> 00:39:08,769
{\an8}[Kortchmar] Everywhere you went,
it was playing out of every car,
664
00:39:08,849 --> 00:39:10,019
{\an8}playing in all the stores.
665
00:39:10,100 --> 00:39:13,350
{\an8}You could not go shopping without
hearing it. It was absolutely everywhere.
666
00:39:13,437 --> 00:39:16,727
{\an8}[King] These songs were the soundtrack
of a certain generation.
667
00:39:16,815 --> 00:39:21,525
{\an8}But I meet people in their teens, and
they say, "My mother played it for me."
668
00:39:21,612 --> 00:39:24,452
{\an8}And now it's,
"My grandmother played it for me."
669
00:39:24,531 --> 00:39:26,701
{\an8}They say this song got them
through their divorce,
670
00:39:26,783 --> 00:39:29,123
and that song
they conceived their child to.
671
00:39:29,203 --> 00:39:32,043

I consider you one of the most ludicrous
683
00:40:27,219 --> 00:40:31,429
schizophrenic... people I've ever known.
684
00:40:34,518 --> 00:40:37,098
And I'm sorry but...
685
00:40:37,729 --> 00:40:40,269
if it weren't so sad you'd make me laugh,
686
00:40:41,275 --> 00:40:44,315
but I think you're a goddamn asshole.
687
00:40:47,281 --> 00:40:51,741
[Pat Loud] I have spoken to a lawyer
and, uh, this is his card.
688
00:40:52,661 --> 00:40:54,871
{\an8}He would like to have you
get in touch with him.
689
00:40:54,955 --> 00:40:57,245
{\an8}-Okay.
-And I'd like to have you move out.
690
00:40:57,332 --> 00:40:58,332
It's just like that.
691
00:40:59,334 --> 00:41:00,594
Well, that's a fair deal.
692
00:41:01,211 --> 00:41:02,881
[Pat Loud] I figured you'd think that.
693
00:41:02,963 --> 00:41:07,513
You know, I-- Pat, I think it's, uh,
shortsighted on your part, really. I...
694
00:41:07,593 --> 00:41:10,013
[Pat Loud]
I don't like to talk bad about Bill.
695
00:41:10,095 --> 00:41:12,965
He's gone,
he's not here to defend himself.
696
00:41:13,056 --> 00:41:17,686
He did a lot of good things
for our children and for me.
697
00:41:17,769 --> 00:41:21,189
But he betrayed me
and he betrayed his family.
698
00:41:22,149 --> 00:41:24,609
{\an8}[Greer] People do say to me
that I destroyed the family.
699
00:41:24,693 --> 00:41:28,203
{\an8}They don't even say I helped to destroy
it, they say, "You destroyed the family."
700
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,660
And I always have to say,
"You do me too much credit.
701
00:41:31,450 --> 00:41:33,160
The family destroyed itself."
702
00:41:38,540 --> 00:41:40,540
[Pat Loud]
When I threw Bill out of the house,
703
00:41:40,626 --> 00:41:43,416
or asked him to leave the house,
I should say,
704
00:41:43,504 --> 00:41:46,884
I was probably certifiably nuts
by that time.
705
00:41:48,133 --> 00:41:53,103
{\an8}[Atlas] All of a sudden in real time,
we were watching a marriage dissolve.
706
00:41:53,180 --> 00:41:55,970
{\an8}It isn't that people
didn't get divorced before.
707
00:41:56,058 --> 00:42:02,108
But nobody played it out for millions
of people to see and make judgments on.
708
00:42:02,189 --> 00:42:05,689
Pat and Bill Loud were living
a quiet life up in Santa Barbara.
709
00:42:05,776 --> 00:42:09,816
And now we maybe know more about them
than we know about ourselves.
710
00:42:09,905 --> 00:42:12,695
You may be wondering
why they would consent to do such a thing.
711
00:42:12,783 --> 00:42:14,163
By the way,
don't let our cameras bother you.
712
00:42:14,243 --> 00:42:16,543
-Okay.
-[audience laughs]
713
00:42:16,620 --> 00:42:19,290
We have absolutely
been through hell with the critics
714
00:42:19,373 --> 00:42:21,543
and, uh, it's really tough.
715
00:42:21,625 --> 00:42:24,875
When I saw myself billed as
"Homo of the Year, 1971"
716
00:42:24,962 --> 00:42:28,552
-I was really despondent for a while.
-[Cavett] Yeah.
717
00:42:28,632 --> 00:42:31,262
But I took two aspirin, it was gone.
And, um...

[audience laughs, applauds]
719
00:42:34,137 --> 00:42:36,467
[Delilah Loud] My mom sold the house,
720
00:42:36,557 --> 00:42:42,187
{\an8}then she figured out how to reinvent
herself in New York in her 40s.
721
00:42:42,271 --> 00:42:46,611
She did it brilliantly. And that's always
been a great inspiration to me.

723
00:42:48,485 --> 00:42:51,655
{\an8}[Pat Loud]
I think I learned to be a survivor.
724
00:42:51,738 --> 00:42:56,448
{\an8}I learned that life isn't over
because you've passed through one phase
725
00:42:56,535 --> 00:42:58,075
and you're entering another.
726
00:42:58,161 --> 00:43:02,251
And you can be successful

Certain songs have lifted me.
And they stay with you forever.
739
00:43:49,796 --> 00:43:53,676
And everybody has those kind of songs.
That's what you want as a songwriter.
