00:23:11 Quite well. Once upon a time.
00:23:25 So?...
00:23:29 So, what was he... what was he... Like?
00:23:35 Who's that? Brian?
00:23:39 Yeah.
00:23:48 Like nothing I'd ever seen before.
00:23:56 And in the end... Like nothing he appeared.
00:24:08 He was... Elegance,
00:24:20 His real name, in fact, was Thomas.
00:24:23 And his father owned a small tiling
00:24:27 But Brian never cared much for the suburbs.
00:24:31 As a young boy, he had the rare fortune of
00:24:36 A figure of some ill repute in the Slade
00:24:40 ...in the entertainment field and
00:25:42 Brian's tender introduction
00:25:46 ...would leave a dramatic impression.

00:27:42 For Brian, the mods were
00:27:45 Or at least to London,
00:27:49 ...at the Sombrero Club in Kensington, I

00:30:20 - Have a look at the homosexual!
00:30:25 - Who is he?
00:30:29 - But not that scruffy, as I last recall.
00:30:42 He won’t be home tonight.
00:30:47 So, I introduced myself.
00:30:49 Told him I was developing my own management
00:30:55 He introduced me to his wife,
00:30:58 ...and before the week was out,
00:31:07 You see, Brian believed in the future.
00:31:13 He despised the hypocrisy of the
00:31:16 ...and felt his music spoke far more
00:31:21 His revolution, he used to
00:31:27 But in 1970, rock audiences bred on...
00:31:30 Credence Clearwater and the Beatles...
00:31:32 ...were not entirely sure what to make
00:31:55 Somehow he got it into his head
00:31:59 Don’t ask me why. I mean, I thought it was
00:32:18 - Who’s this geezer, then? -
00:32:36 Get the fuck off! Cut the shite!
00:32:40 - Bugger off, you woofter!

00:32:54 Every bit! I was beaming,
00:32:57 And they adored you! The whole lot
00:33:02 Transported? We went down
00:33:05 Brian, I tell you, I think it's
00:33:08 - And with the proper
00:33:11 What happened to Judy Garland? What happened
00:33:14 I know, I know, in a cabaret,
00:33:16 ...show, I can see now, it's

00:34:35 ...where rock folklore claims
00:35:20 According to legend, when Curt was 13, he was
00:35:26 "servicing" his older brother...
00:35:30 ...and promptly shipped off for
00:36:13 The doctors guaranteed the treatment
00:36:22 But all it did was make him bonkers...
00:37:16 They despised him.
00:37:21 Yeah.
00:37:25 But when you're abused like that...
00:37:31 I know. I just... I just wish it'd been me.
00:37:41 Wish I'd thought of it.
00:37:50 You will, luv. You will.
00:40:38 - Nice stuff.
00:40:40 Devine. Jerry Devine. Personal
00:40:45 Oh, well, thank you, but I
00:40:49 Not in my opinion.
00:40:52 The truth is you have talent. That's obvious.
00:40:56 But it doesn't really matter
00:41:00 What matters... is the legend
00:41:04 Today, you're a talented
00:41:12 - I can make you a star.
00:41:19 I will tell you, sir...
00:41:26 When you pin me.

00:42:23 ...says they’ve been deluged
00:42:26 The next day every schoolgirl in
00:42:30 And I was out of a bleeding job.
00:42:34 And that, as they say, was that.
00:42:39 I would not hear another word from Brian -
00:42:43 ...or any of them for that matter
00:42:48 Have you got any idea what ultimately
00:42:54 Last I heard he’d returned
00:42:58 ...this was three years ago? Four?
00:43:02 No, I'm sorry, I'm afraid
00:43:07 - Looks as though it may be unavoidable.
00:43:12 The ex, I'm afraid.
00:43:16 But then ever story needs
00:43:18 ...and with Mandy you're
00:43:32 - Miss Slade?
00:43:38 I’m Arthur Stuart, from the
00:43:49 Anyway, I've just got a few questions I
00:43:54 Do you mind if I sit down?
00:43:56 It's a free country. Sort of.
00:44:02 So, what are you having?
00:44:05 Scotch. Rocks.
00:44:11 Yeah, make that two.
00:44:13 Gee. You must be after
00:44:17 Well, it's a piece on Brian Slade.
00:44:21 - What, sort of a memory jog kind of thing?
00:44:26 Well it's been, ten years since
00:44:32 Oh, and what a fake it was. Tricking us all
00:44:39 His career, you mean?
00:44:43 I mean, have you got any idea what
00:44:48 Can't you just, run him through
00:44:53 No, not exactly.
00:44:56 Because, honestly darling...
00:44:58 I haven't spoken with Mr Slade in...
00:45:03 ...seven years. At least.
00:45:08 - Wow. Yeah. At least. Smoke?
00:45:15 No, right after everything
00:45:21 And Brian, he just...
00:45:29 ...became someone else.
00:45:34 But again, he always was.
00:45:59 That's 10 bob to you, mate.
00:46:14 It was New Year's Eve 1969,
00:46:18 ...and everywhere you went there
00:46:22 ...the feeling in the air
00:47:25 See, Jack Fairy had also come to
00:47:33 And in crowded clubs or hotel bars,
00:47:42 ...rehearsed his future glory.
00:47:47 A cigarette tracing a ladder to the stars.
00:48:18 "Maricon, épicène, sexe douteux"
00:48:24 "Le Vice Anglais" (The English Vice)
00:48:31 I needn't mention how
00:48:35 ...to the character of the rock star.
00:48:40 Jack, darling!
00:48:44 Jack was truly the first of his kind. A
00:48:56 But from the moment Brian Slade stepped into
00:49:10 It was his nature.
00:49:59 Do you jive?
00:50:49 So... I married him.
00:52:25 Times, places, people...
00:52:36 They're all speeding up.
00:52:42 So to cope with this evolutionary paranoia...
00:52:50 ...strange people are chosen...
00:52:56 ...who, through their art, can
00:53:05 It was the most stimulating and
00:53:26 "Thank you and welcome, pop
00:53:31 "I'm Davy Rocket and we have a
00:53:33 "dedicated to one of pop's

00:53:55 The bloke at the front.
00:53:57 Brian, why the make-up?
00:54:00 Why? Because rock and roll's a prostitute!
00:54:05 The music is the mask, while I, in my
00:54:11 Brian, Brian!
00:54:16 Bloke in the suit there.
00:54:17 What about your fans? Aren't they
00:54:21 - And which wrong impression is that?
00:54:26 Well thank you, sir, and no, it
00:54:31 I should think that if people were
00:54:34 ...the one to which you so eloquently refer...
00:54:37 ...it would not be a wrong
00:54:40 That is me, that's me dad, that's me!
00:54:43 I mean, everybody knows
00:54:46 Any more questions?
00:54:49 Yeah, woman with the beret.
00:54:50 I was under the impression that you
00:54:54 I am married. Quite happily, in fact.
00:54:56 I just happen to like boys
00:54:59 And seeing as my wife feels pretty
00:55:02 I should think we've been able to
00:55:09 Alright, any more questions?
00:55:13 For the first time in Brian's life,
00:55:18 Did he realize what he'd actually done?
00:55:21 How could he have? I mean today,
00:55:26 But in 1972... it was more like dancing.
00:55:31 A Star is Born
00:55:35 Gay stunt at Slade show...
00:55:37 All that glitters
00:55:54 That man, sitting over
00:55:57 ...is the biggest thing to come out of
00:56:02 Outside this country, no
00:56:08 You people, you're gonna change all that.
00:56:11 You guys, you're the
00:56:15 ...to change Brian Slade, pop singer, into
00:56:22 Nothing fantastic about it. Why?
00:56:26 Because the secret of becoming a star...
00:56:29 ...is knowing how to behave like one.
00:56:32 - Hey kids, let's put on a show!
00:56:37 Action!
00:57:00 Cut! Cut! Cut! Cut! Sort him out!
00:57:10 I know it's unprecedented, I
00:57:13 ...if you want Brian Slade, those are the terms.
00:57:17 You may take them or leave them.
00:57:20 Yes?
00:57:20 - I'm Shannon Hazelbourne.
00:57:22 - I rang up about the position.
00:57:24 - Assistant Clerical Aid?
00:57:29 - Hurray! Zounds!
00:57:33 ...your talents lie within the clerical art...
00:57:36 ...but I was wondering, by chance if
00:57:42 No, never.
00:57:44 - Fantastic. I think that's everything.
00:57:48 Everybody! I'd like to introduce...
00:57:51 ...you to our lovely new Wardrobe Mistress.
00:57:58 - Shannon.
00:58:03 Excellent! Yes, Mr Weinberg!
00:58:08 Thank you very much indeed, sir. Cheers!
00:58:14 - Extraordinary!
00:58:19 So tell me, Master Demon... Who
00:58:26 ...in America?
00:58:27 - Ah, bravo! Jerry! Garbo, Brian,
00:58:34 - Very sorry chickee. He's dead.
00:58:38 Brian? Who?
00:58:42 Curt Wild. I want to meet Curt Wild.
00:58:48 And meet Curt Wild we did.
00:59:51 - Mr Wild? -Yeah? - I'm Rodney from
00:59:56 ...from England who just wanted
00:59:58 I just wanted to say...
00:59:59 I think your music is tops.
01:00:05 Smashing... Top of... Jolly... Shit.
01:00:20 Sorry, darling.
01:00:26 Now at that time, Curt Wild was
01:00:30 ...of course, and urged Devine
01:00:34 And so if, in that probability,
01:00:38 ...in which Brian would serve on some
01:00:44 ...as... we're taking our
01:00:47 ...possibly as producer on that project.
01:00:50 How might that scenario,
01:00:54 ...how might that scenario
01:01:02 What Jerry's trying to say is do you
01:01:06 Oh, yeah. Cool.
01:01:08 - Very good!
01:01:12 You must tell us. What do you need?
01:01:18 Everything.
01:01:21 See, heroin was my mainman. But now I'm on
01:01:29 You come here and say you wanna
01:01:37 You could be my mainman.
01:01:42 It was pretty clear what was
01:01:46 But for the world to think
01:01:49 That was Jerry's particular genius.
01:01:55 Right away he started promoting the two of
01:02:02 A Tracy and Hepburn for the 70s.
01:03:44 My career was on the skids, mate.
01:03:46 And you fished me out of the muck.
01:03:51 It was nothing, chum. I wanted to help you...
01:03:54 ...make more of that far out sound. I
01:04:06 You don't have to say it, mate.
01:04:55 Every great century that produces art
01:05:01 ...and the work that seems the most
01:05:05 ...is always the result of the
01:05:09 I am not really myself except
01:05:16 ...at the heart of rich districts...
01:05:18 ...or amid the sumptuous
01:05:22 ...an army of servants and
01:05:27 What is true about music is true about
01:05:33 ...because it expresses nothing.
01:05:36 The first duty in life is to assume a post.
01:05:40 What the second duty is

01:06:00 Replete with Pointed Epigram
01:06:04 ...while Explaining His
01:06:09 Brian, Brian!
01:06:12 Maxwell Demon is the story of a space
01:06:16 ...only to be destroyed by his own success.
01:06:19 Are you saying this is your
01:06:24 Man is least himself, when
01:06:28 - Give him a mask and he'll tell you the truth!
01:06:33 Is it your belief that
01:06:37 Ha! Nothing makes one so vain
01:06:48 Hey! Coming through! Coming through!
01:06:55 - Coming through. Careful now! There you go.
01:06:58 Are the rumours true that say you and Curt
01:07:03 Oh, yes! Quite soon we actually
01:07:19 Excuse me, fellas, while I raise a
01:07:27 And they tell you it's not natural!
01:07:46 The world is changed because
01:07:50 The curves of your lips rewrite history.
01:11:12 This is too much!
01:11:14 Jim! What are you gonna do? Jim!
01:12:02 Could you conceivably turn down that
01:12:12 You bring shame to this house. You
01:12:19 It’s a shameful, filthy thing you’re doing...
01:12:24 Do you hear me? Stand up!
01:13:08 It's funny how beautiful people look
01:13:35 Really Shannon, it’s no problem, honestly.
01:13:38 I’m not fussed about it, I’m quite open about it.
01:13:47 Really luv.
01:13:51 You shouldn’t let it upset you
01:13:56 ...fully capable of shagging
01:13:59 ...exceedingly partial to the practice.
01:14:04 Now, just because someone seea, you know...
01:14:06 ...two naked people asleep in bed together...
01:14:09 ...it doesn’t necessarily
01:14:24 It does, however, make

01:14:34 Brian would be absolutely
01:14:37 Don’t you ever dare tell Brian!
01:14:41 Swear to me you’ll never say a word. Ever.
01:14:49 I swear.
01:14:57 Jesus!
01:15:32 Sudden change in plans.
01:15:38 Back by Hammersmith.
01:15:42 B.
01:15:46 That was it.
01:15:52 Look I’m sorry. I wish I could help you
01:16:01 ...don’t think I have
01:16:07 See... I think you do actually.
01:16:11 Oh yeah? And what makes you think so?
01:16:19 Well that smile, for one thing.
01:16:23 Well, smiles lie.
01:16:29 Exactly.
01:16:36 Listen. Once, of course, it
01:16:43 We were all... Living our dreams.
01:16:51 But you see all that went away.
01:16:56 All of it.
01:17:00 With Curt.
01:17:02 And not even the real Curt. I mean, it was
01:17:10 ...image. Which, of course, nobody
01:17:15 I mean Maxwell Demon, Curt
01:17:23 Somewhere along the way, Brian
01:17:57 - Shit!
01:17:59 Should I stop it?
01:18:14 - He’s gonna hit the bridge a half-verse
01:18:17 Alright. Cut it.
01:18:23 What? What? Is there a problem?
01:18:29 - Again.
01:18:32 - Sorry, Curt, but it appears...
01:18:35 Curt, we only ask that when
01:18:38 ...you simply inform us in advance, so
01:18:42 What the fuck are you talking about man?
01:18:46 I didn’t make any fucking changes!
01:18:55 Brian?
01:19:01 Fucking mother fucker! Mother
01:19:05 Fuck you! Fuck you, mother fucker! Fuck you!
01:19:10 Eton! Eton, please!
01:19:15 Brian, I’m sorry to be the
01:19:17 ...but what started off as an
01:19:19 ...has quite frankly descended into a
01:19:23 - I mean, you’ve already spent forty
01:19:26 Whatever! Thirty-six hours studio
01:19:32 Brian, you seem to forget,
01:19:34 I think your time is worth
01:19:37 Fucking space-queen on
01:19:40 And all your fucking
01:19:47 Perhaps it’s time for another
01:19:53 Give us a stretch.
01:20:03 Jerry?
01:20:10 I can’t risk extending his contract, Brian.
01:20:14 I think it’s quite clear why.
01:20:32 Piss off! Go on then! Back to
01:20:36 Your bloody shock
01:21:52 Out!
01:21:54 Well, Brian. I’m afraid that is
01:21:58 You are contractually bound to finish
01:22:03 Jerry, I'm telling you, it's just
01:22:05 Brian! I realize you’re
01:22:08 ...but you’ve just gotta hang on in
01:22:13 You hang on in there.
01:22:15 And then you can do what you want. OK?
01:23:33 Brian Slade shooting declared a hoax...
01:23:38 Down with Slade!
01:25:00 I don’t believe that there is
01:25:03 - We’re in a bit of a decadent spiral, aren’t we?
01:25:09 - Big Brother, baby. All the way.
01:25:14 - Situations to subjects.
01:25:19 - Exceptions to types.
01:25:27 Well I’m... I’m just looking
01:26:16 So for one entire day, I
01:26:22 That the whole thing is real.
01:26:26 All his paranoias proven horribly true.
01:26:30 - You mean, no one told you?
01:26:37 Why?
01:26:39 Forgot.
01:26:45 Jesus!
01:26:46 I mean... I knew it was over. I just...
01:26:53 ...didn't know it was
01:27:19 - Mandy.
01:27:28 No, thanks.
01:27:39 These are the papers.
01:27:42 I believe they’re in order.
01:28:00 So you won't forget.
01:28:03 - I already have.
01:28:11 Fuck you, Brian! Did you ever, for one bloody...
01:28:14 ...second in your life, want
01:28:20 No.
01:28:27 Your problem is...
01:28:30 ...you get what you want
01:28:35 Worlds, Mandy, are built out of suffering.
01:28:38 There is suffering at the birth of
01:28:42 You live in terror of
01:28:45 Women defend themselves by attacking, just as
01:28:53 I lost my girlhood, true. But it was for you.
01:29:05 What in God's name is going on up
01:29:09 - Brian, I’m really sorry about...
01:29:12 Mandy was just leaving.
01:29:18 Mandy, if you’d be so kind as to follow me...
01:29:20 Let go of me. I’m perfectly
01:29:28 I really don’t want to have to call someone.
01:29:34 Call someone?
01:29:40 I am his wife, for fuck’s sake!
01:29:47 Fuck the lot of you!
01:29:54 Was that the last time you saw him?
01:29:57 No.
01:30:04 I saw him again. Briefly, a
01:30:08 He was performing?
01:30:12 No. Curt was actually performing.
01:30:17 He and Jack Fairy had just
01:30:19 ...and Curt was in London playing some gigs.
01:30:22 And Brian was there, for a second.
01:30:30 Which concert?
01:30:38 It was like a tribute. Sort of
01:30:44 To save your wild, wild lives.
01:30:50 To cease your sad demise. Tonight, we toast!
01:31:58 Is this working? Cos I want it blue-er.
01:32:04 I don’t think you should bother. I think I
01:32:09 Arthur, come on, give us a hand with this.
01:32:17 Stop moving about, I’m doing me eyeliner.
01:34:06 "... And due to the overwhelming
01:34:09 ...additional shows added whenever
01:34:12 "Regrettably, Mr Stone only
01:34:15 questions this morning as he
01:34:45 Lou! Lou!
01:34:53 - I’m sorry, Arthur. I’m late. - Lou!
01:34:55 - Something quite big. I think
01:34:57 Ah, that story’s been dropped.
01:35:00 - What? Why?
01:35:03 But that's it!
01:35:06 What did they say to you? Lou!
01:35:14 Hi, yeah. My name is Arthur
01:35:18 I was given this number and told
01:35:25 - Listen... (whispers)
01:35:31 Listen, I don’t know who the
01:35:33 ...but Curt Wild is not available
01:35:36 ...or anyone else an interview
01:35:40 I'm sorry. I was told...
01:40:13 - That was really beautiful.
01:40:22 - Did you see him?
01:40:48 It’s only now, looking back...
01:40:51 ...that I see how you patched through
01:40:58 ...in waves.
01:41:03 Come closer.
01:41:09 Don’t be frightened.
01:41:12 What’s your name? Your
01:41:20 - Don’t be nervous. Are you high?
01:41:31 He was waiting for me.
01:41:36 ...and slipped away and now, suddenly...
01:41:49 Hey!
01:41:55 Make a wish!
01:42:35 Hey!
01:42:52 Make a wish! And see
01:43:01 A tangle of garlands in your hair. Of
01:43:09 Softly, he said:
01:43:12 I will mangle your mind.
01:46:08 Tommy! Tommy! Where did you get the
01:46:12 To tell you the truth – it’s
01:46:16 The whole thing takes six full size rigs
01:46:20 What can I say? I think big!
01:46:23 Tommy! What’s your opinion on the work
01:46:28 Excellent. Excellent. I think
01:46:30 He’s a tremendous leader, a tremendous
01:46:34 Tommy! What's your response
01:46:37 ...connecting you with bisexual
01:46:41 ...who staged his own assassination
01:46:44 ...that Mr Stone has time for

01:46:55 "... Stone is promoting

01:47:33 Excuse me? Sir? Are you
01:47:43 No. I’m just a journalist.
01:47:48 Perhaps you’d like my...
01:47:56 Thanks sir.
01:48:30 You're Curt Wild.
01:48:34 Yeah. Who the hell are you?
01:48:39 I’m a journalist. From the Herald.
01:48:46 You were at the concert?
01:48:51 It’s just funny, cause... I was
01:48:57 About a story I was doing,
01:49:03 Brian Slade?
01:49:08 I was trying to find out
01:49:09 - Look...
01:49:14 ...such a mystery.
01:49:18 Look, man, I don’t know who you’ve been
01:49:21 What?
01:49:26 What?
01:49:29 Listen! A real artist creates beautiful things
01:49:35 - Is that what you did?
01:49:40 We set out to change the world.
01:49:44 Ended up just changing ourselves.
01:49:48 What's wrong with that?
01:49:52 Nothing.
01:49:55 If you don’t look at the world.
01:50:08 Well, I guess in the end
01:50:20 - That’s quite a pin you got there.
01:50:25 Is it old?
01:50:27 Possibly. It belonged to Oscar Wilde.
01:50:32 Or so I was told by the
01:50:36 A friend of mine. Kinda
01:50:44 I forget where we were. We were on a trip.
01:50:48 But he said to me, "Curt...
01:50:51 "... A man’s life is his image. "
01:51:06 - Here. Why don’t you hang on to it?
01:51:10 Sure. Why not?
01:51:12 I’ve had it too long anyway. Go ahead.
01:51:19 For your image.
01:51:26 Really. I couldn’t. But thanks.
01:51:42 God, I love this song.
01:51:47 - Anyway.
01:51:53 - See ya around.
01:52:25 He called it a freedom.
01:52:31 A freedom you can allow yourself.
01:52:37 Or not.
