The first day he moved out here,
why, his hat —
The wind changes up here.
I call this the trade winds out here.
You know,
he was born in Oklahoma.
- A-Any —
- He's really an Oklahoma boy.
Anyway, he had on his big top hat...
and the wind changed
and blew it up the hill.
[ Laughs ]

It blew up the hill, not down the hill.
[ Hammering ]
[ Les ]
What did you used to do here?
We run Pappy Reeves's fishing dock for him.
Catered to the public, you know,
rented cabins...
took care of the fishing bait outfit...
this, that and the other.
Then when Leon came, why...
he didn't have the fishing dock anymore...
so we took care of Leon
and his musicians.
[ Les ] And what kind of work did you
used to do before you retired?
- Well —
- We found state hospital work.
- For years.
- Fifteen?
- Well, I —
- Well, we retired after years' service.
Well, I retired
after years of state hospital work.
[ Les ] And what kind of work
did you do at the state hospital?
Just tenants.
- I worked maximum security wards.

[ Leon, George Laughing ]
[ Jim ] I think people
should make their own paintings.
Decorate their own houses
and do all that.
Otherwise,
what are they gonna do in it?
That's why I never could get
real comfortable in a new house.
Because, uh, it's finished.
You know, you come in and sit down,
what are you going to do?
You know? You can't get up and work
on the door. It's already finished.
What you can do, the way they
finish houses now, they paint 'em white.
They paint them blank colors.
And they're excellent surfaces
to paint on.
And if they don't like it,
they can always paint over 'em.
But people are afraid to
disturb that — that surface.
They'll even spank their kids
for painting on the wall.
"Oh, no! No! Our new wall!"
That's what the wall's for, you know?
The kid knows what it's for, you know.
Otherwise, he wouldn't draw on it.
It's the most obvious place.
And people who do let their kids
draw on their walls...
usually wind up
with an artist in the family.
You know?
Because most kids draw.
I mean, they just do.
That's — That's a good way
to find out there whether —
whether it's, uh, something man
has just picked up over the years...
or something he was built in with.
I think it comes, you know,
as part of the standard equipment.
And a lot of people are walking around with
an incredible amount of painting ability...
and they just never did do it
because they got scared by it once...
or someone told them they couldn't —
they weren't doing it right.
Which is absurd! It's absurd!

It's not because of devils or gods or evil...

they consume!
And other people don't get
to consume any — [ Laughs ] You know?
And people need to learn how to consu —
They really need to learn from snakes
instead of chopping their heads off.
'Cause a snake knows
how to live for a long time...
on one meal.
They can be perfectly still for a week...
and when they see some food
anywhere near them...
they're smart enough to know...
that I'm gonna use up
all of my last meal and then some...
trying to find some more.
But if I sit here and wait
with that meal...
another meal's gonna come along
sooner or later...
or I'm gonna die and it won't matter.
So they wait till it comes along and then
use all that energy they'd been storing up.
Jump on it!
They know how to sneak up on a bird.
They're not dumb.
There's so such thing as a dumb animal.
The only dumb animal is a dead animal.
I mean — [ Laughing ]
And we're all dumb
because we're all gonna die.
And that's what's really beautiful about it.
[ Laughing ]
We can laugh at it.
It knows it's gonna die.
And I think it always knows it's gonna die.
Every time it gets scared about anything...
if it doesn't get enough food —
It knows it's gonna die
if it doesn't get any more food.
That's why it gets desperate
for some more food.
Survival is the acknowledgment
of the fact that you're gonna die.
I mean, otherwise you would just —
You would be born and you wouldn't

It's all profit.
- [ Chuckles ]
- Isn't it?
[ Leon ]
Is it?
I hope so.
See —
I mean, well —
There's a certain level where
you try to keep your cool.
[ All Laughing ]
I know it.
g*dd*mn.
But I mean —
Well, I'll put it a different way, right?
If you didn't get paid for singing,
wouldn't you sing?
If I didn't get paid for singing,
wouldn't I sing?
Yeah.
[ Leon ]
Well, the way I see it is just —
the money is just, uh, time certificates.
And time is only the term
that we use in relation to how long...
we have to live
on this plane, you know.
[ Les ] So money makes your time
more enjoyable or —
[ Leon ]
Well, it's more expansive.
Like... all the shit that I do now...
which is another sort of
a real-life factor that is —
kind of screws me around.
I've always done it for —
I mean, at least the last years.
But I didn't even give any thought
to the economic part of it.
But if I stop and worry about it,
I'll stop doing anything...
because I don't know what I'm doing.
But if I feel like I know what I'm doing,
then I know what I'm doing.
[ Les ] If you don't know what you're doing,
why do you do it?
[ Leon ]
Because it, um —
I'm supposed to.
That's what I'm supposed to —
It's the only thing that I've been
able to figure out that, uh —
that, you know —
that means anything.
[ Les ] That you're supposed to do something
that you don't know what you're doing?
No, that I'm supposed to be myself...
and trust that that's, you know —
that it's not ugly.
[ Les ] Well, you have to do that
in order to be yourself.
Right. Otherwise,
you just sit there and don't say shit.
[ Les ] Isn't this why a lot of people
don't become themselves?
- 'Cause they can't trust they won't be ugly?
- That is right.
[ Woman ]
Look out, Les!
- [ Grunting ]
- [ Woman ] Oh!
This is Ted Mayfield
at the Tahlequah, Oklahoma —
At the th
World Parachuting Championships.
We're right now into our ninth day
of competition...
and the competition
is very, very keen.
We'd like to tell you a small story
about sport parachuting.
We was teaching a man to jump
here about five years ago...
and during the entire program
was such an individual and everything...
that the instructors actually refused
to jump with him anymore or work with him.
So we finally got him ready to go
after about five hours of work.
And as we put him into the airplane,
his eyes started getting quite large.
As we climbed out to our altitude, he'd become
one of the individuals that we all are.
As we opened the door,
by this time he was completely petrified.
And as I told him to put his feet out
he said, "Who? Me? Not me."
I said, "The pilot's not goin' to,
and I'm not going to. You're going to."
We finally got him out on the step and at
the command of "Go," he yelled back, "No!"
We yelled a command of "Go."
He yelled back, "No!"
I hit him on the fingers
as hard as I could with my hand...
and at this time made him let go.
He let go of the strut of the airplane
but grabbed the step as he went by.
So, being the cautious person that I am,
I reached out with my foot...
and very gently stomped on his fingers.
When we got down, I asked him,
"How was the jump?"
He said, "That was one of
the greatest feelings of my life...
but it sure makes your fingers sore."
And I think, to your program and to the
th World Parachuting Championships...
there's only one tribute
that I could ever see worth giving...
and that is a toast
to each of you and to your film.
And the follow-up.
- God, you've got a tough glass!
- [ Woman Laughing ]
- It won't work. It won't break.
- [ Les ] It won't?
- It won't break.
- [ Woman ] Oh.
- Don't break your teeth!
- No way in hell.
You just blew the whole thing.
[ Man ] Course, you know, we can't
get paid for what we wanna do.
If I got paid for what I want to do...
I'd just sit down and watch television —
As the World Turn.
[ Both Laughing ]
Go out and make jokes, tell jokes.
Keep everybody laughin'.
Yeah, I wish I could just tour
around the world like Leon doin'.
Hope I can make it in Hollywood like he did.
Make a million dollars someday
playin' guitar.
For Hollywood — Sunset Boulevard.
A million dollars on Sunset, man. Really.
I'm going to the top. That's exactly right.
That's all I can say.
The steps I'll run into on the way...
I have no way of really
laying them down like it'll be.
I just, uh —
- [ Jim ] ...make up your mind
about what you're gonna do.
- You can talk to us about the top.
You can tell us that the top's crazy
and it doesn't exist and all of that.
We know where the top is,
and we know where we're going.
It doesn't matter who tells us any bullshit.
We're going there.
- [ Dean ] Exactly.
- That's all there is to it.
And that's worth
setting up the cameras for.
I admire the hell out of your —
your drive and your vision.
You know? It's incredible.
'Cause I haven't heard any break
in your line...
in your — your philosophy.
- That's one thing —
- That's one thing about being fought.
That's one — Yes!
You're gonna get fought all the way, man.
- I'm just doing it here while we're playing.
- Damn straight. And then you wonder why —
We're playing. I don't have anything
involved with you.
I can tell you what I want
because we're not on —
That's why I'm bettered,
'cause that's bullshit.
- You're gonna get in a situation —
- That's exactly why I am bettered.
It's because I've had shit.
I've ate shit all the way through this thing.
And I'm still gonna do it.

And there will be
somebody else tomorrow.
And it goes on and on like that.

whether we like it or not.

when they are here —
Because they brought their musicians here.
They brought their cook.
It's like a whole bunch of army
going into the front.
They've got their cook, their paratrooper,
their this and that.
I think each generation
deserve the same thing.
They've got their own mode,
their own music...
their own painting,
their own style of dancing...
way of talking, way of this and that
and all that.
They should get together
because they're a generation.
There's yesterday, there's today,
and there will always be tomorrow.
And that tomorrow is for our children
or whoever to come.
So you can't last that long.
Deal with what you are, who you are,
when you are.
But leave allowance for others...
because it was other people
that make it so comfortable.
At least they make bed, mattress.
You can go to shop and ask for it.
They make it available for you.
You yourself make it available for others...
because you take from life,
give back to life.
If you do that, you're on the way.

[ All Chattering ]
[ Leon ] So then there's the balance
between paranoia and trust...
that gets the illusion going, you know.
[ Les ]
What keeps people from trusting?
Insecurity.
And what causes insecurity?
I think probably fear.
And what causes fear?
I think that it probably has
something to do with death.
And what causes fear of death?
Well, it's just one step beyond
the fear of the unknown, you know?
And what causes fear of the unknown?
Well, the principle of the, uh, mind...
is sort of predicated on
comparing new information...
to known information.
- [ Les ] And the mind can't comprehend —
- The unknown factors.
[ Les ]
Yeah.
But, yeah, isn't the mind
also directed to it...
like a moth to a flame,
to find out the unknown?
