![]() ![]() "From this, he took a lesson: value the original, fragile, and rough. With all the contradictions to the contrary." You read me? Look, and tell your damn publisher, "Hey, if it takes me forever to write it, it's going to be the most authentic thing that has ever emanated from this era. I'm going to tell you, Peter, Ferret it out, for God's sake. Your charge is to put all of it in focus and ferret out the bullshit. ![]() Man, I don't give a damn if you say one good thing about me. Just put me in the focus that I'm supposed to be in. It ain't for you to put me in a good light. If you let that happen, you ain't a very conscientious, dedicated, devoted person. If you don't, you're just another one of the motherfuckers that are using this thing to the detriment of the beautiful changes it wrought. The AUTHOR suggests that if he doesn't come in for criticism, in Sam's terms he will have fucked up. It's an important era-you got so much more responsibility to that than you got to any one person, including my ass. But be frightened to death of not giving your best judgment to everything. No matter what I say to you, don't be afraid of it. Peter, look, let me just tell you like I told all of my children, like I told every artist that walked in the door. ![]() I don't know how great the book will be-but it's a great story. It's a great story, and it will go down in history. In which SAM PHILLIPS addresses the AUTHOR: excerpted from a real-life PLAY IN ONE SCENE ![]()
