They're all saying that he mentioned a
0:02
lot of times about the future uh he
0:06
going uh away or he ch changing
0:10
personality or changing names or
0:12
disappearing. Is is it true?
0:15
Yes. I mean based on everything I've
0:17
learned Yeah. um you know in all these
0:20
years um you know again for for those
0:24
who are opposed to this you know and I
0:26
always say uh it's become a mantra for
0:28
me you know I always say to each their
0:30
own as long as you're not an [ __ ]
0:32
about it
0:34
you know uh in other words you can agree
0:36
to disagree as long as you're respectful
0:39
you know
0:40
but online we know how it all works
0:41
online people just are like ah you're
0:43
full of [ __ ] you know and
0:45
it's just
0:46
that's not going to be a healthy
0:48
dialogue, you know, and generate uh
0:50
thought. But I digress. Um,
0:54
but yeah, he definitely spoke to a
0:57
select few people over the years, not
1:00
only about quitting the doors and moving
1:02
on, he felt he was too old, he was
1:04
maturing, you know, he said 27 is too
1:08
old to be a rock star. um uh you know he
1:12
was making plans for the future and uh
1:16
based on what I've learned those plans
1:19
included uh going under a different name
1:23
and leading a a new life. Now what's
1:25
incredible
1:27
uh and I'm sure you saw this in before
1:29
the end. This is this didn't start in 19
1:33
you know 6970 or 71 near the end of the
1:37
doors era. This went back,
1:41
you know, 10 years to when he was in
1:44
high school. He first spoke to uh a
1:47
handful of his high school friends
1:50
around 196061.
1:52
Yeah.
1:53
And said, "Someday
1:55
I'm going to disappear and lead an
1:57
anonymous life or something to that
1:59
effect." And this is when he's like 17
2:02
years old. And they, you know, they said
2:04
they looked at him like, "What?" you
2:07
know, like they didn't even know what to
2:10
make of it, you know, they thought he
2:11
was just being, you know, goofing
2:13
around, joking, you know.
2:15
Yeah. I liked I I I loved the the moment
2:17
where there was one of the women uh say
2:22
that he al he also said that he want to
2:25
move to Africa and Morocco
2:27
and that and that the supposed dealer in
2:30
Paris moved to Morocco a day after after
2:34
he died.
2:35
Yep. That's incredible. Uh he told that
2:38
to Sally Stevenson. I would like to say
2:41
rest in peace to Sally Stevenson. She
2:44
just passed away a couple of months ago.
2:46
Oh rest.
2:46
And um she also was just um
2:50
absolutely vital to my process, you
2:52
know, um in my research and I begged her
2:56
for years, you know, to to do an
2:58
interview and she finally did it and I'm
3:00
very grateful for that. Um
3:02
God bless her.
3:03
Yeah. So thank you, Sally, wherever you
3:05
are.
3:07
Um
3:09
yeah I I mean it's incredible. He told
3:11
according to what Sally said he spoke of
3:14
going to uh to Africa. He wanted to
3:17
explore Africa just as the famous poet
3:20
Arthur Rembo had done nearly a hundred
3:23
years earlier you know. So I really do
3:26
believe I mean at you know at the risk
3:29
of oversimplification
3:31
I believe that Jim
3:33
mapped out his own sort of stage play if
3:38
you will or film you know with himself
3:40
in the the lead role and then he acted
3:44
it out. He he manifested it. He conjured
3:47
it, you know, almost as if it were
3:49
magic. And he started this when he was a
3:52
young guy in high school. And I I'm sure
3:54
he didn't have it all mapped out, you
3:56
know, but I think he had a basic
3:59
plotline of how he was going to do this.
4:02
And um he made it happen. I mean, it's
4:06
it's absolutely incredible. As you may
4:08
remember in Before the End, I asked
4:10
Frank Wagner point blank, you know, what
4:13
he thought of of the Count, Jean De
4:15
Bratai, uh Pam, his girlfriend, Pam, uh
4:18
Jim's girlfriend's
4:21
uh boyfriend and heroin dealer.
4:23
Okay. Yeah. and uh the one who went to
4:26
Morocco as you pointed out
4:28
and Frank was the only person in all the
4:30
people I interviewed.
4:32
He was the one person who had nice
4:36
things to say pleasant uh a pleasant
4:41
opinion of the count.
4:42
And I thought that was just fascinating,
4:44
you know, cuz everyone else wants to
4:46
demonize the count as, oh, he was a drug
4:48
dealer, a heroin dealer, you know, he
4:50
was an awful person. And maybe he was,
4:52
but
4:54
uh at any rate, it is a fascinating
4:59
uh scenario to entertain.
5:02
Yeah.
5:02
Could this guy have helped instead of,
5:05
you know, their rumors with Maryanne
5:07
Faithful, who was also the count's
5:09
girlfriend, you know, that he killed Jim
5:12
with his heroin. And I said, "Well, what
5:14
if we flip it around? What if he could
5:16
have helped Jim cuz he had a pilot's
5:19
license. He flew. What if he could have
5:22
helped take Jim from Paris to Morocco,
5:25
you know? Yeah.
