Transcript
00:00I don't think he was aware of what he looked like, ever.
00:04He, you know, he would get the hair out of his eyes and sometimes wipe the sweat away,
00:10but I don't think he ever for one second thought, I mean, really the music was the force that was coming through him.
00:21I don't think he really understood that.
00:24I think that he just was music.
00:27He was so much music that it was hard for him to be a human being in a social setting.
00:38He was just so grounded in music.
00:44I went to Sheffield a few years after that with Graham Nash,
00:49and Joe had said, when you go to Sheffield, go and see my mom and dad.
00:53And so we phoned ahead and went over and his mom and dad came out and they had brought us a cup of tea and we had some little bacon sandwiches.
01:03And she showed me around the house and showed me Joe's room, which was exactly the way it had been his whole life.
01:11And, you know, there was his little bed.
01:13And up over the bed were these shelves of singles, Ray Charles, a lot of Ray Charles records.
01:21Everything was exactly the way it had always been.
01:24And to visibly see where he came from, I could still see him in that room as an adult.
01:33That's where he still kind of fit in more than he fit on that big stage with the films and the crazy people and the wild audiences.
01:45Because people on the road, the audiences were out of their minds.
01:51They'd never seen anything like this before and probably not again.
