00:00You're always looking for sexy, but smart is sexy.
00:09Danny was a catalyst for a lot of people.
00:12Lou Reed, Iggy, the whole Warhol gang.
00:14He seemed to be at the pulse of the underground.
00:16All of the bands that were in Danny's universe had a great influence.
00:20They were doing something that nobody else was doing.
00:23Danny's a connector, like a fuel line.
00:25It's a place where things are libel to erupt.
00:30Here I was with this magazine.
00:32John Lennon said, I'm more popular than Jesus.
00:35What did I do?
00:36I didn't have to put Jesus Christ on the top of the page.
00:39Those little things I do to make trouble.
00:42That's my life story.
00:47All that publicity about the doors, you made all that happen.
00:50And he said, no.
00:51Which is, of course, the brilliant publicist way to answer that question.
00:55I said, same, Jim. I'm staying with a Chantuse called Nico.
00:59And I thought he would fall in love with Nico.
01:01Then my plot would be on its way.
01:03I was just poised for being slammed with something that was full of blood and vigor.
01:09We did so many terrible things to blacken Danny's reputation.
01:15The Stooges did not have songs written, and he was strung out.
01:19Danny screamed, go to the hotel tonight and write songs.
01:22I want to be your dog, 1969.
01:24All of that came out of one night's production.
01:30The Ramones knocked me over like atomic wind.
01:33I just said right away, I want to be your manager.
01:39This was a guy who would look at something that nobody else was really ready to see,
01:43and he'd say, this should be everywhere.
01:45How much power can you get out of a performance?
01:48That was the meaning of that revolution.
01:52He's been a handmaiden to the gods, some of the most important people in music.
01:58Life isn't long enough to see everything that happens.
02:01It takes more time than that when it comes to things that will endure.
02:04Nothing was ever the same.
02:06This music went on to take over the world.
02:13The end of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
02:16That's the worst case, but you know.
