A Mighty Wind Page #9
we wanna put them on a series."
And the word "judgment,"
a light went on over my head!
...but now it seems there are only nine.
I don't know if it's a budget thing or not.
But there's also nine
New Main Street Singers.
And I thought, "What if they were
And it was my idea to call them "The
Supreme Folk." Tying in the folk singing.
And here's the idea. During the day...
...they're handling some of the top,
most difficult cases in the land.
There's a lot of tension there. And at night,
and this is what sold the networks...
...they live in one big house and they
take off their robes and sing folk songs.
Now, maybe during the day they hear
death penalty cases, and at night...
...they argue about who cooks dinner
or who does...
...the laundry or, "Say, why don't
"And that's sexual harassment!
That was decided in case 126,
Johnson vs... "
Oh, I like that.
The women, sexual discrimination.
I'm not doing much writing,
but the ideas keep popping.
Won't make your patients cringe
Sure-Flo, Sure-Flo
Don't leave them cold and damp
Use our buttocks drapes and penis clamp
I'm a musician again.
Being on-stage again with Mitch
was a great thing.
Oh, boy. I never thought it was possible.
And there we were.
Just wish he didn't
take things so seriously.
You know. That damn kiss.
My sister-- Well, they were all at the show,
"You led him on. You shouldn't have kissed
him if you didn't wanna go all the way."
It was just a kiss. And it's part of--
The audience was there waiting for it.
And I forgot what that feels like...
...where you get caught up
in the heat of the moment...
...and you want to give them...
...anything they want.
I think Mitch...
I didn't lead him on. But he...
...took it the wrong way, I think.
I've never been in better head space.
I'm going through a very prolific phase.
Ideas are coming faster
than I can write them.
My one fear in getting together
with Mickey was...
...always that it might rekindle...
...feelings that she used to have for me.
I feel badly that she was misled...
...by the theatrics of the moment.
But I think it was a wonderful time
that we both had together.
I know that I will always think
of her fondly...
...every time I see a rose.
We've got some gigs here working
at the casinos.
It has been a time of changes,
but change is good. Change is life.
It was like a great big door
opening for me, Town Hall.
After that concert I realized...
of the rest of my life as possible...
-...playing folk music with these gentlemen.
-Right back at you.
And I wanna spend all of it as a woman.
I came to a realization that I was, and am...
...a blond, female folk singer...
...trapped in the body of a bald,
male folk singer...
...and I had to let me out or I would die.
When you put it that way,
it's almost poetry.
Almost.
Now they don't allow no frowns inside
Leave them by the door
-There's apple brandy by the keg
-And sawdust on the floor
So if you've got a hankering
I'll tell you where to go
Just look for the busted neon sign
That flashes
Ea-a-oe's
