All right, Alex.
121
00:05:54,087 --> 00:05:55,367
Here's all our

122

we have would be in here.
123
00:05:57,557 --> 00:05:59,048
Thanks, Dad. This is great.
124
00:05:59,192 --> 00:06:01,286
Oh, look at this old term paper.
125
00:06:01,428 --> 00:06:05,126
"Flower Power: An Alternative
to Hydro-Electric Power."
126
00:06:05,265 --> 00:06:06,358
Oh, yeah, I remember that.
127
00:06:06,499 --> 00:06:07,626
That was the project to see
128
00:06:07,767 --> 00:06:09,258
if we could light

geranium friction.
130
00:06:12,405 --> 00:06:14,670
How'd that turn out?
131
00:06:14,808 --> 00:06:17,277
At best, it's a backup.
132
00:06:17,410 --> 00:06:19,208
Oh, here's an old
Eddie Dupre album.
133
00:06:19,346 --> 00:06:21,023
Eddie Dupre at the
Monterey Blues Festival.
134
00:06:21,047 --> 00:06:22,538
Oh.
135
00:06:22,682 --> 00:06:25,481
"Perhaps the highlight of the
festival was Dupre's classic
136
00:06:25,619 --> 00:06:28,088
"rendition of 'Keys to the
Highway, ' in which he showed
137
00:06:28,221 --> 00:06:32,591
why many consider him to
be the King of the Delta Blues."
138
00:06:32,726 --> 00:06:34,770
It's hard to believe that
such a great musician could
139
00:06:34,794 --> 00:06:36,763
just disappear from
the music scene.
140
00:06:36,897 --> 00:06:38,841
None of these guys owned the
publishing rights to their song.
141
00:06:38,865 --> 00:06:41,357
They'd come in,
make-make a record, uh,
142
00:06:41,501 --> 00:06:42,901
get some lunch
if they were lucky.
143
00:06:43,036 --> 00:06:46,666
Maybe 50 bucks for the
day... Somebody else got rich.
144
00:06:46,806 --> 00:06:48,138
What about the videos?
145
00:06:48,275 --> 00:06:50,267
Didn't they own
the rights to those?
146
00:07:00,053 --> 00:07:02,545
Mal, Mal, this is before videos.
147
00:07:02,689 --> 00:07:04,180
Before videos?
148
00:07:04,324 --> 00:07:06,316
Then what did they show on MTV?
149
00:07:13,266 --> 00:07:15,258
The same thing that's
in your head, Mal.
150
00:07:20,106 --> 00:07:23,008
Test pattern.
151
00:07:23,143 --> 00:07:24,338

Yeah, and seeing as Eddie
Dupre is coming tonight,
160

00:08:26,973 --> 00:08:30,876
Mr. Dupre, uh, I, uh, I
can't tell you how meaningful
175
00:08:31,011 --> 00:08:33,640
it is to meet you
after all these years.
176
00:08:33,780 --> 00:08:37,683
We are truly two
of your biggest fans.
177
00:08:37,817 --> 00:08:39,080
Wonderful of you to say that.
178
00:08:39,219 --> 00:08:40,847
But who are you?
179
00:08:40,987 --> 00:08:42,707
Oh. Um, this is my-my
father, Steven Keaton.
180
00:08:42,822 --> 00:08:43,899
This is my mother, Elyse Keaton.
181
00:08:43,923 --> 00:08:45,034
- Come in.
- Please, come in.
182
00:08:45,058 --> 00:08:46,754
This is my girlfriend,
uh, Lauren Miller.
183
00:08:46,893 --> 00:08:48,259
My sisters, Mallory
and Jennifer.
184
00:08:48,395 --> 00:08:50,193
- Hi.
- Uh, Mr. Dupre,
185
00:08:50,330 --> 00:08:51,821
there's something
I don't understand.
186
00:08:51,965 --> 00:08:55,561
That's the standard opening to
any remark she's likely to make.
187
00:08:57,137 --> 00:09:00,130
No, it's about these
"blues" you keep referring to.
188
00:09:00,273 --> 00:09:02,833
What exactly are you blue about?
189
00:09:02,976 --> 00:09:06,504
Little lady, personally,
I'm not blue about anything.
190
00:09:06,646 --> 00:09:09,844
These blues are like a pain.
191
00:09:09,983 --> 00:09:13,215
Pain that a man has when
his woman leaves him.
192
00:09:13,353 --> 00:09:16,812
Yeah, that's the
blues, all right.
193
00:09:16,956 --> 00:09:20,484
Thank you, "Lead Belly" Keaton.
194
00:09:20,627 --> 00:09:21,720
Uh, Mr. Dupre, listen.
195
00:09:21,861 --> 00:09:23,406
I-I thought maybe when
you came on the show,
196
00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:26,457
what I'd like to do is-is talk
a little bit about your roots.
197
00:09:26,599 --> 00:09:28,591
Yeah, and where
you come from, um...
198
00:09:28,735 --> 00:09:31,204
Do you remember what
your first paying job was?
199
00:09:31,337 --> 00:09:34,466
I was 12 years old down
in Statesboro, Georgia,
200
00:09:34,607 --> 00:09:37,509
where I was living at when
McPhail's Medicine Show
201
00:09:37,644 --> 00:09:41,046
come through the town, selling
some medicine out of a bottle
202
00:09:41,181 --> 00:09:43,275
they said that was good for
rheumatic pain, pneumonia
203
00:09:43,416 --> 00:09:45,817
and anything that ails you.
204
00:09:45,952 --> 00:09:47,952
They had a little show that
drawed the crowd around
205
00:09:48,021 --> 00:09:51,480
and they hired me...
for five cents a day.
206
00:09:51,624 --> 00:09:54,253
And all the
medicine I could use.
207
00:09:54,394 --> 00:09:56,829
I'll sing a little song.
208
00:09:56,963 --> 00:09:58,488
- Give me the guitar.
- Yeah.
209
00:09:58,631 --> 00:10:00,497
Show you how I did it.
210
00:10:00,633 --> 00:10:03,034

Mr. Dupre, uh,
it just struck me.
224
00:10:53,887 --> 00:10:55,253
We can't just do one night.
225
00:10:55,388 --> 00:10:57,687
We-we got to have
an Eddie Dupre festival.
226
00:10:57,824 --> 00:10:59,053
Uh, four nights of interviews.
227
00:10:59,192 --> 00:11:01,457
And then on the fifth
night, you perform live.
228
00:11:01,594 --> 00:11:03,028
Slow down.
229
00:11:03,163 --> 00:11:06,133
Just one interview... that's it.
230
00:11:06,266 --> 00:11:08,497
But, Eddie... uh, Mr. Dupre, um,
231
00:11:08,635 --> 00:11:10,627
it's just that, you know,
I think this is a chance
232
00:11:10,770 --> 00:11:12,830
for you to-to get back
to doing what you love.
233
00:11:12,972 --> 00:11:15,601
You don't understand.
234
00:11:15,742 --> 00:11:17,540
I'll talk on your show.
235
00:11:17,677 --> 00:11:19,612
I'll answer your questions.
236
00:11:19,746 --> 00:11:24,207
But Eddie Dupre will not
sing in public anymore.
237
00:11:31,491 --> 00:11:33,068
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
238
00:11:33,092 --> 00:11:36,551
That was Blind...
239
00:11:36,696 --> 00:11:38,107
That was Blind Lem...
240
00:11:38,131 --> 00:11:41,158
That was Blind Lemon Jefferson
singing "Going to the Country,"
241
00:11:41,301 --> 00:11:44,635
which was recorded in
Mobile, Alabama, April 17, 1936.
242
00:11:44,771 --> 00:11:47,935
Now, also on that
date, April 17, 1936,
243
00:11:48,074 --> 00:11:51,738
Xerox was first offered
over the counter.
244
00:11:53,446 --> 00:11:55,381
At $20 a share.
245
00:11:55,515 --> 00:11:57,643
And, hey, don't it give
you the blues to know
246
00:11:57,784 --> 00:12:00,845
you didn't get in at that price?
247
00:12:00,987 --> 00:12:02,250
Okay.
248
00:12:02,388 --> 00:12:06,189

Eddie Dupre will be joining
us right here in the studio.
254
00:12:20,773 --> 00:12:23,004
Now, I know I
said he was dead...
255
00:12:25,011 --> 00:12:26,912
but I was dead wrong.
256
00:12:28,681 --> 00:12:30,809
Okay, now, here is Eddie Dupre,
257
00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:34,546

You didn't think I
was going to show up?

00:12:43,696 --> 00:12:45,241
Oh, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no. Please, sit down.

Whoa, okay, great.
265
00:12:48,167 --> 00:12:49,511
Uh, listen, can I get
you something to drink?
266
00:12:49,535 --> 00:12:50,535
Black coffee will do.
267
00:12:50,603 --> 00:12:52,401
Black coffee. Black coffee.

Well, Eddie, uh, normally
I get a lot of requests
273
00:13:04,117 --> 00:13:06,348
for my fine vocal
stylings, but, um...
274
00:13:06,486 --> 00:13:08,512
tonight is your night.
275
00:13:08,655 --> 00:13:10,521
Don't worry.
276
00:13:10,657 --> 00:13:12,148

So if you have any
questions for Mr. Dupre,
281
00:13:22,635 --> 00:13:24,695
call us here at 555-WLEL.
282
00:13:24,837 --> 00:13:26,863
And, uh, why
don't I get it started.
283
00:13:27,006 --> 00:13:29,339
Uh, Eddie, uh, can
you tell us a little bit
284
00:13:29,475 --> 00:13:30,966
about the kind of
music you make?
285
00:13:31,110 --> 00:13:33,375
Music is not to be talked about.
286
00:13:33,513 --> 00:13:35,607
It's like talking to somebody
about making love.
287
00:13:35,748 --> 00:13:39,150
You don't talk about
it, you just do it!
288
00:13:45,191 --> 00:13:47,456
All right, okay.
289
00:13:47,593 --> 00:13:48,720
I see.
290
00:13:48,861 --> 00:13:50,693
It's going well.
It's going... Okay.
291
00:13:50,830 --> 00:13:53,299
Hello. WLEL. You're on the air.
292
00:13:53,433 --> 00:13:55,902
Mr. Dupre, I'm one
of your biggest fans.
293
00:13:56,035 --> 00:13:58,368
This bozo... Keaton...
Told me you were dead,
294
00:13:58,504 --> 00:14:00,132
and it got me real upset.
295
00:14:00,273 --> 00:14:03,505
So, if you get a wreath of
flowers, they're from Tony.
296
00:14:03,643 --> 00:14:05,009
Thanks, Tony.
297
00:14:05,144 --> 00:14:07,238
Yeah, hello. WLEL.

299
00:14:08,681 --> 00:14:10,673
Um, have you seen
my pink sweater?

00:14:20,326 --> 00:14:22,955
Hey, Mal... Mal,
we're on the air.

00:14:29,469 --> 00:14:31,461
I'm on the radio!
305
00:14:35,675 --> 00:14:36,870
Yeah, hello. WLEL.
306
00:14:37,009 --> 00:14:38,454
- You're on the air.
- Mr. Dupre,
307
00:14:38,478 --> 00:14:40,743
I'm Professor Webster
from the Music Department
308
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,440
here at Leland, and I'm
a very big fan of yours.
309
00:14:43,583 --> 00:14:45,814
Thanks. I love you.
310
00:14:45,952 --> 00:14:48,387
I've been trying to
track you down forever.
311
00:14:48,521 --> 00:14:50,888
I'm staging a blues show
at the High Note Cafe,
312
00:14:51,023 --> 00:14:53,219
and I really want
you to be a part of it.
313
00:14:53,359 --> 00:14:55,328
Thank you, but
I'm not interested.
314
00:14:55,461 --> 00:14:57,430
Hey, uh, Eddie,
315
00:14:57,563 --> 00:14:59,041
that, you know,
that's-that's a big chance.
316
00:14:59,065 --> 00:15:01,762
Didn't I tell you I wasn't
going to perform anymore?
317
00:15:01,901 --> 00:15:05,929
Well, I-I'm very disappointed,
because in my mind,
318
00:15:06,072 --> 00:15:08,337
you're the greatest blues
man to ever hold a guitar.
319
00:15:08,474 --> 00:15:10,466
Well... good-bye.
320
00:15:10,610 --> 00:15:13,671
You know, I-I have to agree
with Professor Webster.
321
00:15:13,813 --> 00:15:15,338
Um... I mean, it...
322
00:15:15,481 --> 00:15:17,760
Mr. Dupre, it just seems to
me that this is a big opportunity.
323
00:15:17,784 --> 00:15:19,194
I don't see why
you wouldn't grab it.
324
00:15:19,218 --> 00:15:22,586
People don't want to hear
a bus driver sing the blues.
325
00:15:23,623 --> 00:15:25,285
Okay. Well...
326
00:15:25,425 --> 00:15:27,360
uh, we're going
to play a song now

345
00:16:22,715 --> 00:16:24,240
Hi. WLEL. Alex Keaton.

347
00:16:35,495 --> 00:16:37,691
I'd like to say
something to Mr. Dupre.
348
00:16:37,830 --> 00:16:39,264
I just want to say that
349
00:16:39,398 --> 00:16:42,891
I would walk 15 miles in
the snow to hear you play.
350
00:16:43,035 --> 00:16:45,197
20 miles in good weather.
351
00:16:45,338 --> 00:16:47,136
Sorry I got to
disappoint you like that.
352
00:16:47,273 --> 00:16:49,401
WLEL. You're on the air.
353
00:16:49,542 --> 00:16:51,142
This is Bill from
Alpha Lambda Phi,
354
00:16:51,210 --> 00:16:53,304
and our whole fraternity's
hoping you'll play.
355
00:16:53,446 --> 00:16:56,439
And if not, we're wondering
if Lauren is still available.

You are, too, bro.
387
00:18:18,631 --> 00:18:20,099
Very good!
388
00:18:20,232 --> 00:18:21,232
Very good indeed.
389
00:18:21,334 --> 00:18:22,825
I had no idea we had two such
390
00:18:22,969 --> 00:18:25,302
down-home funky hepcats
in the Keaton family.
391
00:18:25,438 --> 00:18:28,772
You're right, Dad. We're cool.
392
00:18:28,908 --> 00:18:30,188
Absolutely. Andy
has even decided
393
00:18:30,309 --> 00:18:31,902
what he's going to
be when he grows up.
394
00:18:32,044 --> 00:18:33,512
Oh, what is that? A bluesman?
395
00:18:33,646 --> 00:18:34,841
No, a music publisher.
396
00:18:34,981 --> 00:18:36,973
Bluesmen don't make money.
397
00:18:38,618 --> 00:18:40,610
You must understand,
Professor Webster...
398
00:18:40,753 --> 00:18:43,222
See, in my view, your "Pawn
Shop Blues" has overtones
399
00:18:43,356 --> 00:18:44,949
of the Aeolian cadences
400
00:18:45,091 --> 00:18:47,583
in Mahler's "Das
Lied von der Erde."
401
00:18:47,727 --> 00:18:50,356
That's the way I think, too.
402
00:18:50,496 --> 00:18:53,523
You see, Mr. Dupre, you
are the absolute epitome
403
00:18:53,666 --> 00:18:55,100
of the American spirit.
404
00:18:55,234 --> 00:18:58,204
Professor Webster, you're
going to get on my nerves.
405
00:18:58,337 --> 00:19:00,329
"Mr. Dupre, you're
a living legend.
406
00:19:00,473 --> 00:19:02,305
"Mr. Dupre, you're
indebted to the blues.
407
00:19:02,441 --> 00:19:04,467
Mr. Dupre, you're
a national treasure."
408
00:19:04,610 --> 00:19:06,977
You caused all this.
409
00:19:07,113 --> 00:19:08,547
Yeah, I'm proud of it.
410
00:19:08,681 --> 00:19:12,311
I just happen to believe that
the blues of Eddie Dupre are...
411
00:19:12,451 --> 00:19:13,891
every bit as important
a contribution
412
00:19:14,020 --> 00:19:15,989
to American culture
as Huckleberry Finn.
413
00:19:16,122 --> 00:19:17,613
Why don't you go
find Huckleberry Finn
414
00:19:17,757 --> 00:19:19,885
and hassle him, too?
415
00:19:20,026 --> 00:19:21,050
- Hi.
- Hi.
416
00:19:21,193 --> 00:19:22,058
- Hi, girls.
- Hi.
417
00:19:22,194 --> 00:19:23,492
Hi, Mr. Dupre.
418
00:19:23,629 --> 00:19:26,463
We just wanted to let you
know that over the past few days,
419
00:19:26,599 --> 00:19:28,898
well, we've really
become big blues fans.
420
00:19:29,035 --> 00:19:30,901
- Yeah. So we made this for you.
- Yeah.
421
00:19:31,037 --> 00:19:32,835
Thank you. What is it?
422
00:19:32,972 --> 00:19:34,972
Oh, it's a scarf with all
the shades of blue in it.
423
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,007
Like the blues.
424
00:19:36,042 --> 00:19:37,670
Do you know you
girls are becoming
425
00:19:37,810 --> 00:19:39,321
- sweethearts of the blues?
- Yeah.
426
00:19:39,345 --> 00:19:40,836
All right. We'll see you later.
427
00:19:40,980 --> 00:19:43,074
- Have a good show.
- Come on, buddy.
428
00:19:43,215 --> 00:19:45,309
- Have a good one.
- Oh...
429
00:19:45,451 --> 00:19:47,113
All right, so... you nervous?
430
00:19:47,253 --> 00:19:50,189
I got the two coldest
feet in history.
431
00:19:50,322 --> 00:19:53,690
The last time I played
before an audience was 1965.
432
00:19:53,826 --> 00:19:55,692
You wasn't born then.
433
00:19:55,828 --> 00:19:58,388
And I don't know what
Xerox was selling at.
434
00:19:58,531 --> 00:20:01,000
I've got a good notion to
just jump right out that door.
435
00:20:01,133 --> 00:20:02,133
No, Eddie, listen to me.
436
00:20:02,268 --> 00:20:05,432
If you don't sing
tonight, I will.
437
00:20:05,571 --> 00:20:08,063
Keaton, you fight dirty.
438
00:20:10,142 --> 00:20:11,303
Evening.
439
00:20:11,444 --> 00:20:13,606
We, uh... we have a very
special treat for you tonight.
440
00:20:13,746 --> 00:20:15,772
A legendary blues
artist we haven't heard
441
00:20:15,915 --> 00:20:18,146
nearly enough of in
a... in a long, long time.
442
00:20:18,284 --> 00:20:21,049
Uh, he's come a long
way to be here tonight.
443
00:20:21,187 --> 00:20:23,816
Listen, there's nothing
I can say about this guy
444
00:20:23,956 --> 00:20:26,187
that he can't say
himself with his music.
