It's certainly a phenomenon in all walks of life
00:00:04.211 --> 00:00:05.212
What do you mean
00:00:06.672 --> 00:00:08.799
Well at one point you've got it
00:00:08.966 --> 00:00:10.217
then you lose it
00:00:10.384 --> 00:00:12.072
and it's gone forever all walks of life
00:00:14.096 --> 00:00:17.308
Georgie Best for example had it lost it
00:00:17.892 --> 00:00:20.102
Or David Bowie or Lou Reed
00:00:20.269 --> 00:00:22.999
Lou Reed some of his solo stuff's not bad
00:00:22.229 --> 00:00:24.094
No it's not bad but it's not great either is it
00:00:25.107 --> 00:00:28.152
And in your heart you kind of know that although it sounds all right
00:00:28.319 --> 00:00:30.404
it's actually just shite
00:00:30.571 --> 00:00:32.049
Trainspotting playing
00:00:32.099 --> 00:00:34.283
So who else
00:00:35.951 --> 00:00:37.703

Malcolm McLaren Elvis Presley Okay okay okay
00:00:40.581 --> 00:00:43.002
So what is the point you're trying to make
00:00:44.543 --> 00:00:47.755
All I am trying to do Mark is to help you understand
00:00:47.922 --> 00:00:50.841
that The Name of the Rose is merely a blip
00:00:51.027 --> 00:00:54.999
on an otherwise uninterrupted downward trajectory
00:00:54.261 --> 00:00:55.846
And what about The Untouchables
00:00:57.473 --> 00:00:59.998
I don't rate that at all
00:00:59.183 --> 00:01:00.081
Despite the Academy Award
00:01:01.936 --> 00:01:03.729
That means fuck all
00:01:03.896 --> 00:01:05.999
It's a sympathy vote
00:01:07.608 --> 00:01:10.736
So we all get old we cannae hack it anymore and that's it
00:01:11.999 --> 00:01:12.822
Yeah
00:01:13.322 --> 00:01:14.999
That's your theory
00:01:16.492 --> 00:01:17.999
Yeah
00:01:18.828 --> 00:01:21.163
