a kind of form of castrating?"

And he said, "Well, not exactly,

but it's symbolic".

I'm going to have a baby.

Can I have your baby'?

So I had the operation

of being circumcised,

and finally after I got well

I still didn't feel any change.

I mean, it didn't improve.

I didn't solve that problem

by having that

particular operation.

But one thing that I did solve

was the fact that I realized

that being physical or sexual

has nothing to do

with what you think or believe.

It has more to do with who

you think you're affecting

and what you think

you're affecting.

And so from then-

from that day to this day-

I have decided there's two kinds

of human beings-

one female and one male,

and one man and one woman.

So I decided to join what I

thought the categories would be.

I would rather be a man

than a male.

So that was the conclusion of

all the things that I had done.

That's the results

of what I came to.

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

Bravo! Bravo!

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

Bravo! Bravo!

Oh, fine. How are you doing?

Mr. Ornette,

ifs a pleasure to meet you.

Same here.

And Hell you,

Jean has lived, talked, dreamt-

where I find out more and more

about Ornette Coleman.

Oh, my goodness.

That's my saxophone.

That was good.

Yeah, you should have

had your horn.

You could have come up

and played with us, man.

It was very, very nice.

Aren't you from Fort Worth?

Yeah.

I write for the Dallas Morning News.

I'd very much like to meet with you.

Oh, well, I'm at the Americana.

How long are you

going to be there?

Until about the 6th

or 7th of October.

- Of October?

- Yeah.

May I call you for an interview'?

Yeah, sure.

My name is Lee Ann Howe. H-OW-E.

And I write for

the Dallas Morning News.

I'd very much like to meet you.

I enjoyed it very much.

- Thank you.

- Thank you very much.

Marvelous, fantastic!

All I can say is I have a friend

that I'm going to send

to see you at the club.

Were they taking a recording?

Yeah, they were.

Good.

That would be great.

Oh, thank you.

I'm gonna see my friends.

It was a wonderful concert.

Just beautiful.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Ornette, can I have

your autograph, please?

Excuse me.

How will I find your room

at the Americana?

I'm in 1104.

1104?

A lot of times

when celebrities stay there

they won't tell you.

Well, I'm telling you.

It's 1104.

I'll be there.

Thank you very much.

This is a very exciting

happening.

It is a very exciting happening.

John, you're a great

disappointment to us all.

I am? I left my clothes on.

Want a sip?

Hello, my darlings.

I'm having a marvelous time.

Love yuns all.

No, darling.

I'm from Beverly Hills, California,

and I worked in Tarzan movies

out in Hollywood...

with Lex Barker...

and Down to Earth

with Rita Hayworth,

The Harvey Girls

with Judy Garland,

many, many others.

I love Fort Worth.

I pretend I'm a Texan now.

I've even got the Texas accent.

Sweetheart.

Oh, I love you, too,

you good-looking doll.
