[00:00:00] Estelle - Dan Bern [00:00:28] I was painting a still life this morning [00:00:31] Of a throat lozenge sitting [00:00:32] On a copy of Tropic of Cancer [00:00:34] The only thing weird [00:00:35] About it is that a year ago [00:00:37] I never thought I'd paint anything again [00:00:39] I decided I wasn't ever gonna paint again [00:00:42] It didn't bother me too much Warhol's dead [00:00:45] David Hockney's still alive [00:00:47] I don't need to paint [00:00:50] I painted over ten thousand paintings [00:00:53] Sad ones funny ones [00:00:55] Dark ones and light ones [00:00:56] I've done haystacks and [00:00:58] Rich old ladies by their pools [00:00:59] Wearing nothing but a scarf [00:01:02] I've painted everything there was to paint [00:01:04] Now it was time to sit back give interviews [00:01:07] Get on the internet hang out at club med [00:01:10] Take stock of what I've done [00:01:13] You know the best friend I ever had was a dog [00:01:16] It sounds like a cliche [00:01:17] Unless it's happened to you [00:01:19] Some days that dog was the [00:01:20] Only reason I even got out of bed [00:01:24] That dog went everywhere with me [00:01:26] And then I heard the crack addicts [00:01:28] Were stealin' dogs and [00:01:29] Selling them for animal research [00:01:30] It sounded like an urban myth to [00:01:32] Me like the mouse in the Coke bottle [00:01:33] But I started leavin' her at home after that [00:01:36] You know Paula was my wife for a while [00:01:39] She ran off to Paris with [00:01:40] The great grandson of Van Gogh [00:01:42] A cartoonist who did [00:01:43] Fashion graphics for Le Monde [00:01:47] When Paula left she took [00:01:48] My dog I never saw her again [00:01:51] Except in the court during the custody battle [00:01:53] She won and got to keep the dog [00:01:55] And I didn't speak to anyone for months [00:01:58] You know sometimes it feels [00:02:01] Like there's so much that you need [00:02:04] Sometimes the world is upside down [00:02:10] Sometimes it seems like the only thing you need [00:02:15] Is holdin' someone's [00:02:17] Hand as you walk through town [00:02:29] I started hanging around with Dino [00:02:31] He used to run a poker game back east [00:02:33] Now he has a little coffee shop [00:02:35] Sells cappuccino to his old pals [00:02:37] Tommy Chicago and Jimmy the Wig and Ugly Rose [00:02:40] You know the best person I ever knew [00:02:42] Was a Mormon woman named Estelle [00:02:44] She still calls me drunk every few months [00:02:46] And asks me stuff I don't want to talk about [00:02:49] You can't talk to her long [00:02:50] Unless you're drunk yourself [00:02:51] Then we go all night [00:03:02] Yeah she goes "Why baby [00:03:04] Why baby why baby why [00:03:06] Have you turned your back on love [00:03:08] You had so many chances [00:03:09] Why have you let 'em all go by " [00:03:14] Well one morning I was sitting [00:03:15] Out in front of Dino's place [00:03:17] With Jake the Shears a guy [00:03:18] From Philly who gives free mohawks [00:03:20] There were a couple of young [00:03:21] Painters I was hopin' to come by [00:03:22] So I could give 'em some advice [00:03:25] Yeah I was sittin' there updating my list of enemies [00:03:28] When this girl walks in [00:03:29] And the universe kind of stops [00:03:31] Turned out she drank the same tea as me [00:03:33] Don't take more than that [00:03:34] To start a conversation sometimes [00:03:36] She believed collage was [00:03:37] The greatest of all the arts [00:03:39] And was busy pasting pictures [00:03:40] Of horses next to ads for laundry soap [00:03:43] Next to Mohammed Ali [00:03:44] She had a turquoise in her ear [00:03:46] And said Rachmaninoff [00:03:46] Was always in her head [00:03:48] But later that day I was trying [00:03:50] To describe her to Jimmy the Wig [00:03:52] I couldn't find any words and [00:03:54] I realized I'd started to sketch her chin [00:03:58] Somehow it didn't look right 404
