Sometimes he would
just disappear,

00:22:36,824 –> 00:22:38,491

from a friend later going,
370

“Jeff showed up

<i>Every moment was so spontaneous.</i>
372
00:22:44,932 –> 00:22:48,002
He would make
very elaborate outgoing messages
373
00:22:48,135 –> 00:22:50,171

374
00:22:52,039 –> 00:22:54,275

<i>Jeff didn’t have a job,</i>
380
00:23:06,120 –> 00:23:07,855
<i>so he had a lot of time</i>
<i>on his hands.</i>
381
00:23:07,989 –> 00:23:11,025
Jeff used to look specifically
for Michael Bolton tapes,
382
00:23:11,158 –> 00:23:12,660
<i>so he could put</i>
<i>the piece of tape</i>
383
00:23:12,793 –> 00:23:15,830
over the top,
and record over it.
384
00:23:15,963 –> 00:23:18,799
He would line up tape recorders
’cause there was no samplers,
385
00:23:18,933 –> 00:23:20,768
there was no digital computer,
nothing.
386
00:23:20,902 –> 00:23:23,905
<i>He basically created</i>
<i>this little studio</i>
387

390
00:23:29,476 –> 00:23:31,646
And this sound effect
when the cat meows.
391
00:23:31,779 –> 00:23:34,081
It was an hour long.
392
00:23:34,215 –> 00:23:36,817
And so people…
393
00:23:36,951 –> 00:23:40,554
…they had to listen

394
00:23:42,556 –> 00:23:43,758
<i>He asked me,</i>

00:23:43,991 –> 00:23:45,259
<i>”Do you think</i>

396
00:23:45,927 –> 00:23:49,630

00:24:14,989 –> 00:24:17,692
<i>Jeff started calling me</i>

403
00:24:19,560 –> 00:24:24,765
<i>I think he saw me at that point</i>

404
00:24:30,470 –> 00:24:33,341

But I called him…
…the Scratchy Fish,
410
00:24:49,023 –> 00:24:53,627
<i>’cause he was always</i>
<i>not shaving, very bristly.</i>
411
00:24:53,761 –> 00:24:56,764

<i>Jeff challenged</i>
<i>traditional male, female roles.</i>
711
00:42:57,111 –> 00:42:59,480

was not easy to fit
712
00:42:59,613 –> 00:43:03,217
into the dozen radio categories.
713
00:43:08,322 –> 00:43:11,158
<i>And yet</i>
<i>Jeff was also influenced</i>
714
00:43:11,292 –> 00:43:13,928

741
00:44:40,381 –> 00:44:43,250

742
00:44:43,384 –> 00:44:46,521

that bravely as a character,

800

There was a time

801
00:48:40,954 –> 00:48:45,392

802
00:48:45,527 –> 00:48:48,195
<i>And this jazz band</i>

807
00:49:02,811 –> 00:49:04,378
<i>…it was, like, really not</i>
<i>where I wanted to go.</i>
808
00:49:08,783 –> 00:49:13,688
There was a very boundary-less
kind of liquid feeling to him.
809
00:49:14,321 –> 00:49:16,858
<i>He felt very desperate</i>
<i>to self-medicate</i>
810
00:49:16,990 –> 00:49:20,327
<i>with, you know, making us</i>

811
00:49:22,831 –> 00:49:24,998

<i>and writing,</i>
<i>”You need love, not sex.”</i>
813
00:49:31,438 –> 00:49:33,307
Generally, I love
to rush in there,
814
00:49:33,440 –> 00:49:35,743

815
00:49:35,877 –> 00:49:42,115
<i>but that liquid, watery quality</i>
<i>just felt very tidal-wavy.</i>
816
00:49:44,953 –> 00:49:47,087
<i>He was very hard</i>
<i>on himself.</i>
817
00:49:47,221 –> 00:49:49,524
<i>Like, sometimes</i>
<i>I got the sense that…</i>
818
00:49:50,658 –> 00:49:54,361
he felt that there were
good and evil forces,
819
00:49:54,495 –> 00:49:56,531

1151

1162
01:10:48,750 –> 01:10:50,417

<i>Your mailbox is full.</i>
1169
01:11:09,103 –> 01:11:11,038
<i>There was so much</i>
<i>on his mind,</i>

<i>but he wasn’t talking about it.</i>
1171
01:11:13,207 –> 01:11:14,976

1172
01:11:28,288 –> 01:11:29,690
<i>We all, like,</i>

<i>experimented</i>

1175
01:11:35,129 –> 01:11:38,398
he… I never got, like,
an addict vibe from him at all.
1176
01:11:38,900 –> 01:11:41,669
Yeah, there was dipping

1177

<i>Some more than others.</i>

<i>But I couldn’t be</i>

1180
01:11:50,244 –> 01:11:52,713

No. You know what?

<i>I feel like,</i>

1188
01:12:13,034 –> 01:12:17,104
<i>the demands of success</i>
<i>started to irritate him.</i>
1189
01:12:18,206 –> 01:12:20,274
The label was kind of
breathing down his back
1190
01:12:20,407 –> 01:12:21,843
for the second album.
1191
01:12:22,342 –> 01:12:26,747
<i>I think he was weighed down</i>
<i>by the debt that he owed them.</i>
1192
01:12:27,414 –> 01:12:31,418
<i>Millions of dollars</i>
<i>in debt with no hits</i>
1193
01:12:31,552 –> 01:12:33,054

1194
01:12:33,486 –> 01:12:35,488
<i>Well, you’re</i>
<i>never gonna get out of the hole.</i>
1195
01:12:36,090 –> 01:12:39,894
No one ever gets out of owing
a record label money
1196
01:12:40,027 –> 01:12:41,662
because that’s how
it’s structured.
1197
01:12:42,930 –> 01:12:47,535
<i>That probably</i>
<i>would’ve been very scary</i>
1198
01:12:47,668 –> 01:12:49,737
<i>to Jeff, and maybe he thought</i>
1199
01:12:49,871 –> 01:12:54,275
– that the type of deal
that he had may have been…
1200
01:12:54,407 –> 01:12:57,011
…a little bit of a deal
with the devil, sometimes.
1201
01:12:57,144 –> 01:12:58,679
<i>That’s your bed.</i>
1202
01:12:58,813 –> 01:13:00,815
<i>And you made it</i>
<i>and you have to lie in it.</i>
1203
01:13:00,948 –> 01:13:05,152
<i>Jeff started to spiral</i>
<i>around this fear that he has</i>
1204
01:13:05,319 –> 01:13:07,555
<i>of the loss</i>
<i>of his artistic freedom.</i>
1205
01:13:08,356 –> 01:13:11,559

you know,
1207
01:13:14,829 –> 01:13:16,764

something.
1208
01:13:16,898 –> 01:13:19,100
Every parasite needs its host,
and we are them.
