Little known facts of Rock and Roll #19
David Crosby was house sitting for Joni Mitchell (who was away on tour) at her sprawling Laurel Canyon house. Present at this early hour of the morning were Crosby, Bob (The Bear) Hite, and a very inebriated Jim Morrison. Crosby was talking to Bob about the show he had witnessed the previous night. We join this tape in progress. Crosby: "And man when he hit the high note of You Gave Me A Mountain man I almost cried" Bob: "I've always liked that song, and Marty Robbins does it so much better than Jim Nabors" Crosby: "I know man and then when I asked if I could go and meet him backstage man and the doorman said sure but you know I require head, I dropped down on both knees man" Bob: "Wow so you got to meet him then?" Crosby: "Yeah man and let me tell you the man is bigger in person than he is on stage man" At this time Morrison descends from the staircase with a bottle of Jack Daniels in his right hand. Bob: "Ah c'mon Jim put some goddamn pants on, nobody wants to see that shit at this time of the morning" Morrison: (unintelligible) Crosby: "Let me roll another joint man" Bob: "Hey I noticed when I came up to the front porch this morning there's a great big marble statue of the Venus De Milo, Joni didn't have that last time I was here, where did that come from?" Crosby: "I bought that for her at a yard sale man" At this time Morrison reemerges from the stairway with his leather pants on backwards. Morrison: "Hey Bob (unintelligible)" Bob: "Damn that statue looks mighty heavy, how did you get it here?" Crosby: "We put it on the roof of Neil's Vdub man.It caved the fucker in on the drive man" Bob: "Well how did you lift it and put it by the doorway?" Morrison: "Yeah how'd you(unintelligible)" Crosby: "Shit man, I lifted it and put it there man" Bob: "Bullshit that fucker has to weigh at least 600 pounds" Morrison: "Yeah that fucker has to weigh(unintelligible)" Crosby: "What, you don't think I can lift it man?" Bob: "No way" Morrison: "Yeah no(unintelligible)" Crosby: "O.K. man, let's go outside and I'll show you man" At this time the crew gathers themselves and walks out to the front yard. Crosby: Man Bob, I can't believe you don't think I can lift this" Bob: "Careful don't hurt yourself" Morrison: "Yeah careful you don't(unintelligible) Crosby: "O.K. let me spit on my hand man and I'll show you man" At this point in the tape some very loud grunting is heard. Crosby: "Ow goddamn man I think I pulled my groin man" Bob: "Should we call an ambulance?" Morrison: "Yeah should we call (unintelligible) At this point the tape runs out and we can only speculate what transpired afterwards. See scans
