Some very interesting stories and insights contained therein. Here is her Iron Eyes Cody story: Like a filmmaker, I cast people in my songs. I cast Billy Idol as the bully in DANCING CLOWN. I cast Tom Petty as the guy he picks on - the "pushbutton window." I cast Willie Nelson as the desert rat in COOL WATER - Rod Steiger as the evangelist in TAX FREE. I cast Iron Eyes Cody as the "grandfather" in I AM LAKOTA. Let me tell you how Iron Eyes came to be on the record. There was a show of Indian artifacts at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium - near where I was recording. We (Mike Shipley, Larry Klein and I) were working on I AM LAKOTA. It was almost finished but I felt like it was lacking something. "Let's take a break," I said. "I want to go to that show at the Civic. I won't be long." It was a little after 5:00. The doors had just opened. "Joan, Joan," Klein said. "This isn't like you - leaving in the middle of a session." I said, "Well, we're not doing anything important - you can spare me for an hour. They've got some rare old stuff over there. Federico told me. Hummingbird baskets, for instance - things you never get a chance to see!" Klein didn't like it. "Come on," I said, "Take a little break." The track was running. Suddenly, the machine seized up. "Oh," I said grinning. "Downtime. Call in the tech! I'll be back in an hour." As I came through the doors I was met by a film crew. "Why are you here?" said a cyclops - a women behind a lens. "To see the show," I said. "I only have an hour." I tried to shake her, but she stuck to me like a paparazzi. "Have you met Iron Eyes Cody? she pestered. "Who's he?" "You don't know Iron Eyes? Cry Indian?" "Oh, the ecology commercial." "Would you like to meet him?" "I guess so, but I don't have much time." She disappeared. I looked at some baskets. I looked at some pots. A little while later she returned with old Iron Eyes. He was wearing a grey wig - long grey braids. It was tied on under his chin with a black string. It was tied in a bow like a bonnet. "A bald Indian?" I thought, "I never saw a bald Indian before." Years later, I was informed by a Lakota Sioux that Iron eyes was a Sicilian. We shook hands. "Do you know any Indian songs?" I asked him. "Sure," he said, and performer that he was, he tipped back his head and sang the little song that Lakota opens with. "What are you doing right now?" I asked him. "Well, I was supposed to go to dinner with some people . . . ." "Could you come with me to a recording studio - it's near here. Could you put that down on tape?" "You want me to overdub?" he said. That made me laugh. "Yes," I said, "Exactly!" "O.K.," he said. So I came back to the studio with three Indians (well, two Mazatecs and a Sicilian) and a film crew. I was half an hour late, but the machine was still frozen. We sat and waited. When it was finally fixed I played the track for Iron Eyes who said, when it was over, "Oh - it's got the haunting. I think you're turning Indian." Into the studio he went. He "overdubbed" like the pro he was. It was just what the piece needed. We were relaxing now. The track was finished. Iron Eyes was telling John Wayne stories - tales of how John could hold his liquor. Suddenly it began to thunder and rain - hard. Iron Eyes and I went out on the back steps to watch it come down. As we watched, a ball o fire appeared on the lines leading into the studio. It was sliding towards us. I ran inside and told the boys about it. They pulled the tape off the heads in case the lightening sent the machine into record. I didn't see it hit but it made the lights flicker. No damage was done and the storm moved on. It only struck Santa Monica - nowhere else in L.A. Strange. Beautiful. Ball lightening. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2014 20:30:19 -0800 From: Subject: Re: America Lost Big win for Karl Rove and the Koch brothers. Money, lies, and T.V. do get votes.
