We're talking to two gentlemen who are responsible for so many hit records
these days it's impossible to count.
Charlie Green and Brian Stone in that
order from this side to that side.
When did you fellas come to California?
About six years ago, Dick.
Have you had a long association?
We've, together, we've been friends for over 20 years now.
You tried so many different things, you're now in the world of music.
Are either one of you schooled musicians?
No, we're not.
What's your background?
Well, up to about a year ago we had an unblemished record of failure.
That's about it.
What did you study when you went to school, Brian?
Accounting, actually.
I'm a graduate accountant from NYU in [G#] New York.
Do you find that's of any help in your work these days?
Absolutely.
If you have no school background in music, how do you know when you work with someone that you're going to be successful?
You feel it.
It's what you like also.
We're not that far away from being [G] out of the teenage age ourselves.
How old are you?
I'm 27.
How old are you, Brian?
27.
Do you ever get discouraged when you go in and do something and it doesn't live up to your expectations?
Sometimes you feel a little bit bad, but that's life.
You go on.
You gotta just keep moving.
Always [F#] forward.
How many hours a day do you fellas work?
19, 20.
Are [C] you serious?
Yes.
I was told that you very rarely ever [D] eat.
Is this true?
Yeah, we do.
We kind of [A#] got in the habit [B] when we were starving.
We only eat kind of one [A#] meal a day at night.
We eat dinner and that's about it.
We drink a lot of coffee.
[N] If you work all day and all night, what is the object of all of this?
Achievement.
Is it money?
Not really.
No.
Is money important?
Money was important to give you the freedom to go ahead and achieve things.
That's about all.
If money is not important, then why did you two fellas buy an $18,000 limousine?
We wanted it.
It has good air conditioning.
What will you do if all the money goes away?
The same thing we always did.
Start all over again.
All right, let me change subjects right in the middle of this stream here.
Why are young people the most important dynamic element of the population?
I've heard you speak my speech before, but I'd like to hear it from you both.
I think I've said to you what I think that the handwriting's on the wall.
Kids are becoming more and more an important part of the whole population of the United States.
They're becoming the major portion of the population, and what kids want is what the world's going to have to do.
Charlie, do you think you reflect the tastes of young people, you and your partner?
I hope we do.
So far I think we have.
All right, in regard to music, I read somewhere once where you said something like,
Bob Lind is a great talent.
We are going to make him a great star.
Is that true?
That's not exactly true.
That has to be a misquote.
Bob Lind will be a star with or without us only because of his talent.
If we can accelerate it in any way, I think we will.
All right, that's it.
In addition to Bob, with whom are you working these days?
Well, we're also managing Jackie DeShannon and the Daily Flash,
and as a matter of fact, the Buffalo Springfield, who are inside right now.
Well, the purpose of all this, gentlemen, is to go in and watch them record.
May we go to the recording session?
I'd love you to.
All right.
The Buffalo Springfield, inside.
Charlie Green, Brian Stone, the fellows who discovered Sonny and [Am] Cher.
[A] [Em] [A] [B]
[A] [Em] [A] [F#] This is the Buffalo Springfield.
[E] Green and Stone say [B] they'll be giant stars.
It's up to [F#] you to make them such.

Don't you worry.
I'm going to be.
[G] I'm going to be [A] watching.
