00:00 There are quite a few stories about your background.

00:04 Um, okay. Would you like some of the wilder ones?

00:11 Geffen said, "You've got to go see this girl, Judy Seel."

00:14 I said, "What's she like?" And he said, "She's like nobody else."

00:17 She was the first artist signed to Asylum Records, and Geffen had tremendous belief in her.

00:22 He said, "What do you want to do?" And I said, "I wanted to be the greatest living songwriter in the world."

00:26 I heard the song, and it was very intriguing, because I thought it could be a hit.

00:31 We liked each other's songs. You know, like, I love Jackson's songs that he wrote, and I love JD's songs.

00:35 But everybody seemed to think that Judy had something special.

00:38 When I met her, she told me she was a heroin addict, that she'd been a prostitute, and that she'd been in jail.

00:43 So, that's a lot of information.

00:45 She had pointed the gun at the guy and said, "Okay, Mother Sticker, this is a fuck-up."

00:50 I knew that I had to clean up or else go back to jail. So I got a tattoo on my arm to remind me forever.

00:55 And then I started formulating exactly what my mission would be.

00:58 This is "The Kiss" by Judy Sill.

01:01 I had never heard a song about that. It just felt like a bottomless well.

01:06 Love rising from the mist

01:14 Promise me this and only this

01:21 Holy

01:23 It's like a level of desperation and vulnerability that totally transcends a lot of the real personal songwriting that was going on at the time.

01:29 There just wasn't and won't be anybody that writes like that.

01:32 I've never heard anything that's made me go, "Oh, that sounds like Judy Sill."

01:36 I want to inspire people and uplift them without them knowing it.

01:40 That's what I want to do.

01:42 "The Kiss" is available on iTunes, Apple Music, and Spotify.
