00:00 My friend was a genius.
00:01 And periods of his life, he was given mediocre work
00:07 and he wanted to stretch and he wanted to do a stars board
00:11 when Barbara Streisand.
00:12 And I don't think you can take a genius
00:15 and have them just do the same thing.
00:18 - Yeah. - Yeah.
00:19 - And I lost my friend at an early age
00:21 because of creative disappointment,
00:24 even with all the great success that he had.
00:29 That caused other problems.
00:30 - Yeah.
00:31 - But that was the cause of the problems
00:33 in my humble estimation.
00:34 - Yeah.
00:35 - That must have been so difficult
00:36 when he died for you and everyone.
00:39 - I couldn't believe it.
00:40 He was used to me coming in and every once in a while leaving
00:49 'cause I wanted to learn film editing,
00:50 then I wanted to learn the road.
00:53 And I had left in '76.
00:56 When I leave, I still spent weekends with him or whatever.
00:59 If I would have known that I was gonna lose him,
01:04 that the world was gonna lose him,
01:07 I would not have left in '76.
01:10 - Yeah. - That's a shame.
01:11 - To be the Beach Boys manager.
