There was a Rolling Stone interview with the band by Judith Simms from August 1972. The overall tone is a bit “off” (she seems to be suggesting they don’t live up to the hype) but there are a few interesting lines given how early it was in the band’s career with the first album still rising up the charts and possible just the one hit single.
This makes me think of the documentary when Glenn talks about sex and drugs, He starts off enthusiastically and then fizzles.Glenn’s sentences tend to start as minor explosions that peter out midway.
That’s sweet!Glenn spoke of John David, a fellow Asylum artist, with awe and love.
Early foreshadowing of his departure five years later?Still, Randy’s relationship with Los Angeles is tenuous. He says he’s “here to stay…till I can get whatever I can get, enough money to get out. I want clean air.”
This is from Don:Almost immediately he fell in with Glenn and Don and Randy, who had already begun sharing songs and rehearsing. “I tried it and I liked it,” Bernie recalls.
And the writer:“Glenn kept telling me about his manager, David Geffen. I didn’t even know who Geffen was, but I decided I would stick my neck out to play with Glenn.”
That’s quite a statement!Bernie, who can talk circles around the other three,
