Osgood and,,,,,,,,, osgood this morning, we will be taking the longest journey, the journey that we all face as we, and our loved ones moved into our senior years, mo rocca focuses on alzheimers disease and the possibility that researchers may be turning a corner in their effort to treat and perhaps even prevent it. Keep your hands straight out and close your eyes. Every 60, 67 seconds someone in the United States is diagnosed with alzheimers sees. Disease. Up and down. But the journey to a cure coulcould begin here in south america, in the country of columbia in the city of medell medellin. It is here that we met martha and jose, an ordinary couple with an extraordinary story. Which is plain to see soon after our camera crew arrives in their apartment, they appear to forget we are even there. That is not her real name, her family asked us not to reveal it has alzheimers, a degenerative disease marked by memory loss, followed by loss of motor skills and finally death. Even now while martha can still get around she need constant care. I try to make it so that she doesnt think about the disease, so that she has zero stress. I am in charge of everything in the house, i am with her all the time. The physical burden on jose is great, the emotional burden even greater. It is one of the most painful things in my life, my wife was she seemed like an american. This was a woman who worked 24 hours a day. She was never tired, never at all. She had this amazing emergency to work, and to see her on this downward curve, it is devastating for me. It is too much. Too much internal pain. Most of us soles alzheimers with the elderly but martha is not even 50 years old. Hers is early onset alzheimers and it is hereditary. Which is one reason we come to medellin. My grandma died from it, they say she went still litigate. Not, not her grand marks her mom. Oh, yes, my mom, my mom. Alzheimers is devastating at any age. But particularly for those with hereditary early onset, which could account for up to five percent of patients worldwide. Yet as you will soon see, marthas extended family may hold the key to treatment for alzheimers everywhere. Lets start with stretching our hands up. Alzheimers is already a Global Health crisis affecting one in eight americans over 65 and one in two over 85. Thats one of the most common causes of death in the United States. Dr. Eric ryan man of phoenixes Alzheimers Institute says by the year 25th the United States will have about 16 million alzheimers patients at a cost of 1 trillion annually. Because the number of People Living to older ages is rapidly growing, we think that the single age related disorder will take a financially overwhelming toll on us all by the time my children become senior citizens. Still, there may be reason for optimism. It has been shown that the degree of brightness you have on the scans is highly associated with the numbers of plaques you have in the brain. Using advanced Imaging Technology he is able to point out the beta and plaque, a buildup of protein in the brain of a living alzheimers patient. Most scientists believe the protein is a main cause of alzheimers. Before this scan, how would we detect the presence of the analoid plaque . Well the best way was as autopsy which obviously is too late for the patient. But while alzheimers can be more accurately diagnosed, a cure remains elusive. Thats because by the time even mild symptoms appear, brain cells are already badly damaged by the plaque, the brain has literally begun shrinking. We can see these alzheimers plaques building up in patients brains 15 to 20 years before they likely would have any symptoms. But what if you had a group of people you knew would develop alzheimers and you could shoot them years before their brains were damaged at all . If the disease were prevented this people otherwise fated to get it, that might lead to treatments for alzheimers patients worldwide. Which is where martha comes in. Her extended family in medellin and the mountainous country side around it are carriers of a rare genetic mutation that guarantees they will get early onset alzheimers. With symptoms developing this their 40s and progressing to death just a decade later. This genetic mutation is so rare that only a handful of families around the world are known to have it. Marthas extended family is one of the best documented. At, the first patient i saw was approximately 49 years old and had complete memory loss. It was remarkable to me that his father had the same illness, and his grandfather too. This was my First Experience with hereditary alzheimers. Dr. Francisco loquero is director of the Neuroscience Group in medellin. Since the early 1980s he has been studying marthas family. Of an estimated 5,000 members, about onethird carry the mutation. Some Family Members believed that the disease they have lived with for generations was a hex. Some of the Family Members believed that the illness was caused by a curse that a priest put on their town. It took a while to gain their trust but today the doctors team has collected the dna of over 3,300 Family Members, 300 of them are participating in one of the worlds first drug trials aimed at preventing alzheimers. We are very optimistic about this. The medication has neve never bn tried on healthy people. The universitys brain bank includes 75 brains of Family Members who died from early onset. You knew many of those people. Si. Both of them. Most of them. I know most of them because i was during neurological examination. The ravages of the disease weigh on the minds of younger Family Members like natasha, martha and joses daughter. There is a 50 percent chance that she carries the mutation. What scares me in the future, not only for me but also if i am going to have children if it will affect them. Natasha says while she has given doctors a dna sample i prefer not to know. I dont get it. No. I prefer not to know because i will end up thinking about the future before i have to. In that case, i will always be thinking, oh, i will die of alzheimers, so, therefore, i prefer that they do not tell me. A breakthrough cant come soon enough for natasha or for another Family Member mauricio who lives in the small Village North of medellin. His mother in her fifties was in the final stages of her illness when we visited. I bathe her, yes, i bathe her. I dress her, i feed her. I do everything. Are you in school . Not right now. He says he left school at 13 to take care of her. Yes, i always wear myself out. They told me i look tired. Right now, yes, i always feel exhausted. I ask him what he would like to do with his life. I would like to sing. I like computers. I would like to study computers and become a professional in that. But he says he doesnt have time to think about the future or whether he himself carries the alzheimers gene. I dont care about what comes next. I am only thinking amount what is happening now. Last december, patients in dr. Ryan man and la parras study received their first dose office an experimental plaque reducing medication, a small but potentially important step on the journey toward a treatment for alzheimers. As members, do members of this family realize what position they are in and how much hope they are giving to alzheimers patients all over the world . Yes, they are more and more aware of that. They know that the study can serve many people in the world. They know that they have the possibility and opportunity to make a contribution to the world. Ahead, the man behind the mask. E in alaska are working to safely produce more energy. And now a page from our sunday morning almanac. April 13th, 1570, 444 years ago. Generally accepted birthday of the english conspirator guy talks. Talks. Although his father held a job with the church of england, he was catholics were persecuted, he served for a time in the army in catholic spain, under guido, he returned to england and he joined the catholic plot to place gunpowder under the houses of parliament and blow them up. But early in the morning of november 5th, 1605, fawkes and the gunpowder were discovered, king james took a personal interest in his case and in the words of his director the gentler tortures are to be used first against him and so by degrees proceeding to the worst. In days guido signed a confession revealing the names of his coconspirators. He and his company were executed early the next year. And ever since britain has celebrated the filing of the plot with fireworks and bond fires, bonn fires, as for fawkes he is all sort of allpurpose symbol of insurrection most vividly in the film v for vendetta, wherein the leader of a revolt against a future totalitarian regime hides his identity behind a stylized guy fawkes mask. People should not be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of the people. The mask is adopted more recently still by protesters of all sorts, venezuela, to washington, to wall street and more. Remember the fifth of november, gunpowder treason and plots, a popular rhyme begins, and with guy fawkes the plots recognizable front man there is no likelihood of it being forgotten any time soon. Osgood coming up, new from the top. This portion of sunday morning is sponsored by advil, the pain reliever that is built to be as fast as it is strong. Osgood legos are more than a toy for the world famous architect sofi he is the inspiration for one of his most famous works, Martha Teichner has the portrait of an artist on top of the world. The man in the pool is architect moshi softi a man of the world at the top of the world, the creator of this colossal stonehenge, the 10 million square foot marina sands resort that dominates the singapore skyline. 57 stories up, 650 feet off the ground, there is a park and a pool that seems to spill right over the edge. I didnt know what it would be like to be on the 57th floor, would it be too windy, how would it feel . Would you feel vertigo. He is building or has completed 85 projects across five continents. Museums, colleges, apartment complexes, libraries, government buildings, airports, an entire town. Global citizen is the name of a recent exhibition of his work at the Cultural Center in los angeles which he designed. The circumstances of life made me a man of many countries and many places. I have three citizen ships, israel by birth, canada by adoption, and the United States by adoption, so i have three passports. Born in 1938, he spent his childhood in hyfha on the mediterranean coast but his family moved to Montreal Canada when he was a teenager and Aptitude Test in high school led him to study architecture at macgill university, he had no idea that his thesis, a concept for reinventing the Apartment Building would soon make him world famous. It became habitat 67, the center piece of canadas worlds fair, expo 67. I was then 24. It was like a fairy tale. The point was to create a better way to live in a city. Affordable apartments that were not cells. They were more like houses, accessible to nature. Each of these boxes is preface indicated, prefabricated in a factory we built, we have kitchens and everything in the factory, lifted each box by crane and lifted them one on top of the other. He admits being inspired by legos. Each apartment which is made up of two or three or four of these boxes has one or two recesses one above the other on the way up. 15 million fair goers saw habitat, it became an international sensation, so did mosha softi and suddenly there were plans for habitats in new york city, jerusalem, in puerto rico, but none of them ever got built, a huge disappointment for softi. It is ahead of his time then and it is ahead of the time now. It is a time yet to come, still i say that. Because . Because i think it is meanwhile, from the moment habitat was completed there were waiting lists for its 158 apartments, there still are. It is really pretty. She moved in with her family in 1973. It is a house, yet it is an apartment. Moshe has moved on but has taken with him many of the ideas he explored here. He says that as an architect he uses light and water to try and achieve what music achieves with rhythm and melody. I have always wondered, can architecture actually have that kind of impact that music has on us . Because that is beyond utility and beyond functional. It is spirituality. The pavilions of crystal bridges museum of american art in bentonville, arkansas are actual bridges built over a flowing spring. At israels Holocaust Memorial and museum in jerusalem softi built through a mountain. I felt that the story of the holocaust is so horrific it cant be a building that feels like a building, so i thought, i started thinking underground. Introspective. Yes, completely, you go deep into the earth and then you emerge to life at the other end of the mountain. That was controversial because people said it is overly optimistic why are you doing that . Zero why so he expressive and my thought is, life prevailed. The nature of his commissions often requires turning symbolism into structure. I wanted to be drenched with daylight and many of my buildings, here, because light penetrating the building has something to do with peace for me, it has something to do with transparency. The United States institute of peace in washington, d. C. Is meant to suggest the flight of a dove. Was it important to you to do good with architecture . Every project, the sublime and the ordinary has Critical Issues of humanity, of social responsibility, it could be a housing project, it could be an institute of peace, it could be the Central Library of a city. Humanity and social responsibility, why more is that softi is still refining, revisiting habitat 67. This is and at his office in an Old Industrial building outside of boston, the drawings and models show how he has adapted his ideas for humanizing city living. The shape of the facade is undulated so each unit has a garden coming out of it right there as you climb up the building. It is truly a descendant of the building softid called his firstborn. It is not habitat in every, respect but it is a habitat 40 years later in china from middle, for middle income families. And how many people will live here. 3,000 residential units, it is probably close to 10,000 people. Wow. And idea whose time has come after all, finally. It is being built in the chinese city of Chen Wong Dao right now. Ahead, the singular role of the stunt double. Kes. First, matzo . ,,,,,, osgood matzo is a form of bread with a simple recipe as there is, flour, water and centuries of tradition. Here is nancy giles. New yorks Lower East Side is very trendy these days, filled with fancy restaurants and nightclubs frequented by hipsters and celebrities, but one thing hasnt changed at all. There on the corner of living on the and suffolks is streits matzo factory turning out 25,000 pounds of matzo a day as it is done ever nea nearly every since 1925. Back then, the Lower East Side was a largely jewish neighborhood full of delis, pushcarts and families. It looks ancient. I feel like i am in a museum. Its pretty much the way it has been since the thirties. Adler is the great grandson of the companys founder. All of the buildings here pretty much. My great grandfather started on the ground floor, then they bought the buildings next door, expanded upwards. These are converted tenement buildings, these were all apartment it is. Alan and his cousin erin and his other country aaron, no joke still run the family business. You go to a Cocktail Party and you say you make matzo and they laugh, i dont know why. I havent been feeling well and never left 25 years later. And this is aaron gross. Little aaron, big aaron. Are you big or little aaron . The younger. He is in charge of sales. In some ways says aaron g, streits isnt his great grandfathers matzo anymore. Well, matzo with tomato, garlic oil. It is mediterranean matzo. Lightly salted it tastes like a saltine cracker. Only better. But matzo kosher for pass overcomes in just one flavor, and has just two ingredients. The secret recipe format is a is 80 pounds of flour and 30 pounds of water. It is just flour and water, thats it. Thats all we are allowed to use because that is what happened back in egypt. For those who dont know the story of pass over, rabbi Mayer Kirschner explains. The passover commemorates the jewish people leaving slavery from egypt and didnt have time for it to rise and went into the desert with the dough on their shoulders and they had unleavened bread, matzo. At streits, there are a team of rabbis on hand to see that it is all done according to kosher law. The whole process from mixing to baking must be completed in less than 18 minutes to ensure that the dough does not rise. So when does the clock begin for the 18 minutes . As soon as the flour and the water hits the flour. After the mixing, the dough is pushed down to the floor below to be rolled thin before baking and the little holes in the matzo . Another way to ensure that dough doesnt even think about rising. Then into the ovens. 800 degrees. A couple of minutes ago, a couple of minutes is all it takes. What does it taste like hot . I have never had hot matzo. Oh, it is hot. Good. It is amazing how flour and water can taste so good. I know. After that, the matzo cools as it snakes its way through the floors of the old tenement building. Tradition. That is what grandpa left us. And it is the way aaron streits great grandchildren like it. Since the 40s, why is it pink . I dont know why but we are not going to change it. No, of course not. In a world where everything seems to be changing every day, it is nice to know that some things remain the same. There is a lot of nostalgia here, we work in the same halls at our, as our fathers worked in, our grandfathers, great grandfathers worked in these halls and there are a lot of memories here. Flour and water mixed with tradition and respect for the past. That is a pretty good recipe. All aboard, a your honor any to the past is next. A journey to the past is next. Osgood while most journeys really take you from point a to point b, one special form of train travel involves a detour back through time, a special residence for me, my grandfather Charles Osgood wood, sr. Was a pullman car conductor. With Dane Reynolds now, all aboard. As amtrak city of new orleans line rolls south across lake pontchartrain on its way to the big easy, there are a few cars at the tail end that appear different, because they are. Those brown and orange passenger cars are honest to goodness pullmans, the famous sleepers that generations past rode on trips across the country. Four cars here tonight, this is the club car two, sleepers and then there is the dome lounge. If you thought pullmans were just relics from the past, ed ellis would beg to differ. He is the president of the Pullman Sleeping Car Company and he wants you to know it is very much alive. Was it difficult to recreate it by the book. Everything that you see in the car has some historical precedent. All of the elements are from that era. You cant go back to 1955 but if you could this is what, this is about as close as it was. All aboard city of new orleans. George pullman was the 19th Century Railroad titan who founded a company that at its peak in the 19 twenties and 30s provided beds for 100,000 travellers every night. For a century after the first cars rolled out in 1859, pullman defined first class rail travel. As the sons of old men porters and the sons of engineers. While planes eventually overwhelmed trains the locomotive whistle is still a siren song to some. And now hoping to capitalize on nostalgia pullman rail journeys carries passenger from chicago to new orleans, on newly renovated sleepers. How old are these cars . They are as old as us, maybe older. Wow. That is old. It is. And they look brandnew. We have done everything we can to restore them, to a like new condition. These are cars that had been relegated to obscure museums or rusting rail site tinges like the one we visited in white land, indiana. It is where which met david duncan, pullmans second in command and the man in charge of the transformation. Now, david, has anybody ever suggested to you that your interest in trains is a little odd . Oh, i get that all the time, of course. Duncan will soon be shepherding the restoration of this old pullman called the Golden Mission from trash heap to treasure. This is the original floor plan. For where we are. For this car. Yes. I have a very definite idea about how everything should be put back together, and it is not my idea, it is how do we put back what pullman did. Now you are old enough and still litigate enough to actually try it. Foolish enough, i guess. Bold enough. It is all done by the pullman book. You managed to recreate the sort of like a time machine. Thats exactly what it is. It is a time machine. And we see it as a time machine. Back with pullman chief ed ellis we talked about the benefits of train travel as the redone adirondack car wound its way south past kinkikee, illinois. The first thing they figure out is that they can relax. They can just sit down and have a drink. And have dinner and enjoy themselves. Some of these sleepers have double beds and even showers, air conditioning and wifi have been added to the original blueprint. Economist Bruce Horowitz was on our trip. Can you sort of squint a little bit and see yourself here in the 1940s . Yes. Close your eyes dinner time,s have a nice glass of wine and a fine meal served on lenin by very attendant if the server people i could say you could create that. Limited service to new york will be offered this fall, its regular weekly departure set for next year. On our trip to new orleans, ellis told us he is confident there is a modern day market for this ride on the rails of history. We have people that have ridden this train eight times. Really . Yes. Do they need help . A. We are giving it to them. We n therapy. Train therapy. Ed saint vin sent melee wrote amount that this way. My heart is warm with friends i make and better friendsly not be knowing, yet there isnt a train i wouldnt take no matter where its going. Osgood ,,,,,, i think i want french toast. Perfect timing. Right now you can build your own. Girl sweet make mine with the sevengrain bread with strawberries oh, no, wait, bananas. Ooh, and glazed pecans whoa, i get to choose my own sauces . Better hurry, beautiful, its not going to be around for that long. [ding] welcome to dennys. It happens this week, the golden anniversary of a car that has galloped into our world history. The unexpected new ford mustang. April 17, 1964, when the ford mustang made its debut at the world fair. This is the car dreams are made of. Ford predicted its newly introduced zero model would sell about 100,000 cars, in fact, with a Sticker Price of 2,300 and 68, 400,000 mustangs were sold that year. Even though mustang stay dream, its low price is a beautiful reality. Over the years, ford has sold more than 9 million mustangs and have turned up in all sorts of places, perhaps most notably atop new yorks empire state building, ford engineers transported it to the top of the building where it was reassembled for photographers. Ford plans to recreate this stunt on wednesday as one of americas most celebrated cars saddles up for its next 50 years. Ahead. The stunt man cometh. ,,,,,,. Its sunday morning on cbs and here again is Charles Osgood. Osgood a famous chariot race from the 1959 movie ben hur is considered a masterpiece, fast forward 55 years and you can find stunt performers taking the fall in the screens biggest hit, lee cowan shows us how they do it. Hey, captain, how do we know know the good guys from the bad guys. If they are shoot agent you they are bad. Starspangled superhero has never been easy. True captain america has that indestructible shield but when captain is in a bear knuckled fight with an assassin the Winter Soldier, it can make for a pretty rough day on the set. Action movies have action for a reason, it sells tickets, lots of them. Studio execs arent too keen to put their big stars in harms way. Which is why most of those working on big action movies like this one start seeing double. Cut. Right now, quiet because they are rolling. Shhh. That is Sam Hargreaves who spends his time on the side lines until the actions gets a bit too rough for captain americas chris evans that is when sam steps in. As captain americas stunt double. I exist because i am expendable. In all honesty, it is because if i get hurt, i can be replaced. A Job Description most of us would sign up for but being a hollywood stunt person is no ordinary job. Bouncing around, they have been as long as there have been films and cameras keeping audiences coming back for more. When you see him dangling off that clock, that is really him and he is really hanging there. Historian says stunt work didnt actually start as a profession. The assistant director used to go to the front gate the morning and say, hey can you ride a horse and if you said yes, you want to make five bucks . Sure. In the early days of silent films actors like Buster Keaton thought that stunts were just part of the job. He once broke his neck landing on a Railroad Track and didnt know he had done it. He got uh up and went to work. Yes, years later a doctor doing an xray said when did you break your neck and he said i never broke your neck. He said yes, you did. But then came a rodeo cowboy named yakamur canuck. He was the first to make doing stunt work special. It was this death defying stunt done in john ford stagecoach but then again in the fighting legion that makes his a legend. At a certain point he positions himselves on the reins between the horse, drops down on to the ground and lets the stagecoach run over him and then grabs the back of the stage coach and mounts it again. Question, how do you practice that . Good point. Yeah. Exactly. How do you go about developing that idea and then Getting Better at it . I cant imagine. It was so remarkable Steven Spielberg paid homage to him more than 40 years later to him in raiders of the lost arc. Fork fork. But while they may be adrenaline junkies dont call stunt people daredevils. In the swirling steeds of danger on any action movie, they see themselves more as risk calculators than risk takers. I do miss, you know, some aspects of it. Tony angelotti was the stunt double in the pirates of the caribbean blockbuster. But he knows all too well just how things can go horribly wrong. The sequence was him running out of the village, polevaulting across the ravine and landing on the other side. The skewer caused him to go off balance and he falls into the ravine and he is supposed to unravel like a yoyo. This is video of tony rehearsing that stunt from 80 feet in the air. I basically counted down, three, two, one, go. Three, two, one but instead of unravelling i go into a free fall. Go. And then they hit the brakes on the descender and i spun like a top. Oh, my god, help. Get me down. There is just the centrifugal force. Literally ripped my pelvis apart. Miraculously tony went back to work but he was never the same. I basically said, you know, this is what i do and this is what i love, and i, you know, wont let this defeat me. The job of keeping everyone safe falls to the stunt coordinator. He will be closer now. And on captain america the Winter Soldier the job falls to tommy harper. We have been working on this fight seen literally for four months. You have to be out a little bit more. Today he is rigging a seen called a ratchet. Lean in there, not too much, you know. It is a cable attached to a harness that helps a stunt person fly through the air. All right. Larry, count it off. Three, two, one, go three, two, one, go we did one the other day with Sam Hargreaves, our hargrave our captain american double and flew him 20 feet into the windshield of a car. For sam hargrave hitting hard like that is what he gets paid to do. If the shot is going to be awesome, to make it epic or awesome you have to hit the ground and possibly hurt yourself, i choose to hit the ground and possibly hurt myself, because in my stunt man mind the epic shot on film, you know, i will be okay in a couple of months. Is you. Thats me. This there is a saying among stunt people that only the good ones grow old. And Jeannie Epper is proof of that. Epper was lynda carters stunt double on wonder woman back in the seventies. She is now in her seventies and she still is hunting for stunt work. Why . I hav have been asked that at a million times, i know it is not just for the money although we make good money. Because you love it. I love it, it is where i am most alive. We met her first in 1979 on the set of wonder woman as she prepared for this. What do you think . Falling through a glass skylight. Back then jeannie stood out as one of the few women in the business. Are you all right . Yeah, fine. It you could take just as hard a hit as the guys could. Yeah, i can. I thought in my young and rowdy and rugged days i thought i could do anything. Looks like you could. Yeah. I just never thought i couldnt do it. Still, for all the wonder and pavement they provide stunt people rarely get the redcarpet treatment, there is no oscar for best stunt. But welcome to the 2013 there are the taurus world stunt awards. One place where fancy gowns and bandaids go hand in hand. The bandaid actually is covered up a little cut i got at work on the captain america 2. Heidi moneymaker, scarlet johansons stunt delve in the avengers. She won the taurus award last year for best fight. So many people here, so many wonderful people. We found captain americas stunt double there too. And the taurus goes to and guess what . Sam hargrave he won for the hardest hit. Once again, they crash, they burn, they fall, they get back up. All in a days work, and yet most of us dont even know their names. A. It takes a lot of time to ge, this is, action is art. Next, the kindest cut. Osgood the notion of retirement has little appeal for those whose work has always been a cut above. Like steve hartman. We caught up with joe brown of pensacola florida as he was about to go in a barbers shop. Imagine being 98. Nice to meet you. And still having the energy and the hair to visit a barber. What is even more impressive about joe is that he is the barber. In a minute i will ask why anyone would go to a 98yearold barber. But first, why this 908yearold barber still goes to work. I have said to many of my customers in four or five years they are gone, and not here anymore, i am not doing that route, i am going to keep working. Joe started cutting hair during the Great Depression and has been doing it pretty much every week since. His last vacation was last century. The guy truly loves his job and can only say one bad chapter in his whole career. I was barb everything when, barbering of course he tried to block out the disaster. One of those longhaired musicians. The beatles. The beatles. He says the fab four cost him a fortune. Once they showed up nobody wanted a haircut for years. But he waited out the beatles and outlasted virtually every barber of his time. What is even more amazing than his tenure is the touch, he still has with those scissors. Customers like christian lively say they are not coming here out of loyalty. It is because he gives a great haircut, you know. He can be 28 years old. Even those college kids who once avoided him in droves are back. Josh tindall says a lot of guys in his fraternity come to joe for no other reason than they like his work, josh didnt even know he was 98. You are finding this out for the first time now . Yeah. Sometimes i suppose it is nice to be recognized for living as long as joe has, but i imagine it is even nicer when no one notices or cares. I appreciate it. Take care. Coming up happy talk. Might be crazy. Because im happy. Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof. Because im happy. Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth. Osgood happy guy Pharrell Williams music, and seems to be pretty much in line with reality as lee mason will now show us. Weve come too far. Most artists only dream of having a year as big as Pharrell Williams. He sang and cowrote daft punks summer smash get lucky. Im all night to get lucky. He produced and cowrote robin mega hit blurred lines. But it was with this song, his first solo number one that Pharrell Williams himself suddenly went to the top. Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof. Does it feel any different having a huge hit with your name on it . It is super weird. It is super weird . Yeah. Why . Because i am used t to being the guy standing next to the guy. I was happy being that guy. It is weird. Ranked him the top producer of the past decade as onehalf of the neptunes production team, pharrell was behind hits for nellie. Its getting hot in here so take off all your clothes. Jayz. Give me some of that gorgeous stuff. Justin timber lane. And britney. You are one of those kids that just doesnt fit in the box. No, i have never even seen a box, what do you mean . What are you talking about . And the phrase room without a roof, limitless. Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof. Lately everything he has touched has turned to gold. Including the headgear he wore the night he won four grammys. A mountain hat designed by vivian westwood. My manager says the hat has its own flare . I said what . He said yes. What happened as we slipped into a new York Clothing shop called fine and dandy. Pharrell said even he doesnt understand. I cant tell you why people fixated on Vivian Westwoods hat, because it was hers. That from a designer with two of his own clothing lines whose esquire once ranked the best dressed man in the world. When did you start developing a clothing style . A. I suppose i always had my ow. Never judge a book by its cover, but the cover does say a lot. I have always sort of been like an extrovert so, you know, if you think color, you kind of dress in color. He has been thinking in color since he grew up in Virginia Beach virginia, the son of a handyman and a teacher, it was his grandmother who urged him to get serious about music. She had been diagnosed with cancer and i was turning 15 and she said, you know, you love the drums, why dont you learn how to play the drums so. He went to summer band camp and joined a school band. Thats where i met my first music teacher who was mrs. Warren and my other band teacher, mr. Warren and then there was mr. Evers and mr. Shock. You remember them all . Yes, i do and ralph copley taught me how to play a drum set. And my story is the average story, it is just it was still, it was filled with special people. You are giving everybody else credit. Well what am i without them . Just try that for a second. Take all of my band teachers out of this, where am i . Where are you . I am back in virginia. Doing something completely different. What would that have been, you think . Struggling art teacher. Struggling because the rest of my grades were not so they were responsibility good. They were like cs and ds. And sometimes es. In beginning band class he mad chad hugo zero who played sax and they formed the nep tunes. Neptunes. It just didnt work, i was too weird, i mean, hello. The neptunes produced music for other artists taking spare hiphop beats and fusing them with rock and pop. Their music flooded the radio. One of pharrells few disappointments was his first solo album in 2006. Hello, can you hear me now . It didnt turn out the way i wanted it to. And i blamed everyone around me except myself and i had to really take a long study of like what i was doing and talking about on that record. That first record was too full of ego, he says, now 41 and married to Fashion Designer helen lesley common his new album girls strikes a different tone. What changed for you . I realized along the way that there wasnt enough purpose in my music, you know, going back and listening to Stevie Wonder songs and steely dan songs, you know, you see that donald fagin had a purpose. He had an intention, Stevie Wonder was really stinging about something. Pharrell says now he wants his music to lift people up. Of all the records you worked on are you proudest of any in particular. I am proud of all of my work and thankful that, but happy changed me. See you tomorrow. Released last july in the film despicable me 2. It might be crazy. It went nowhere at first. Took it to radio and it was just lake too different because at that time it was like. [beat . [sound effects] it was like every record. Hey, hey, hey here i am, happy they were like, uh, no. Then in november his label released this video. It might be crazy what im about to say. It just explodes. It has hit number one in 24 countries. Walk down the street with Pharrell Williams now and from all sides people approach him, people of every color and every age. People walk up with their toddlers, there is the happy man. It is like what . Are you okay with being the happy man . I am thankful. You are going to live with the happy man and the hat for a while. You are okay with that . What else do i have, what else do i have but being appreciative . It is not my doing. Does it amaze you when i say that. Do you understand why i a. M. Say that. Stars that doesnt happen unless you have a talent. So then you understand why i am so thankful. I totally get why you are thankful but i think as an artist at some point you probably tried to figure out what it is you do well. I think thats when you fail. Okay. When you start trying to figure out like what you are best at, thats when you become delusional because you start to believe that. I would rather justnr continue o ride that mule on to the cocky horse. Are you afraid you gave too much credit it would all go away . For sure. You see people spin out of control all the time. Dont you . Those are the most tragic stories the most gifted people who start to believe it is really all them. It is not all you. It cant be all you. Just like you need air to fly a kite, it is not the kite. It is the air. Osgood still to come tonight bad men kicks off its final season. In search of a happy ending. Osgood to everything there is a season, the book of ecclesiastes tells us a season, not part one and part 2, it remind todays entertainment producers. Tonight mad men kicks off its final season, the first half of it. The final Season Finale wont air until well over a year from now. The seventh season into two parts, seven episodes to air now and seven episodes to air in 2015. I am sure the partners gang would advertise this as good for the viewer. To have a sentimental bond with the product. A way to really cherish every last moment with our favorite characters, but as a fan, it is hard not to feel as though the network is just milking every last drop out of this successful series. Amc has done it before, breaking bad aired its last season in two installments a year apart. I like it. Sex in the city. Dont stop believing. Sopranos. And battlestar galactica, all made fans wait for months during their final acts. There are a lot of reasons it can make sense to draw out the last seasons. Networks can maximize dvd sales and sponsorships, the show can compete in two different years of emmys and actors can sometimes be kept from getting a raise. But, and the viewer, these split ends are making me pull my hair out. We are seeing it more and more at the box office, as with most things i blame harry potter. The final harry potter book the deathly hallows was split into two films. That prompted twilight to splits its final book into two films. Which prompted the hunger games to split its final book into two films. Mocking jay part 1 comes out this thanksgiving season, part two comes out in november of 2015. Peter jackson has turned the hobbit, a book that is only a little over 300 pages, into three separate movies. Shrooks you keep tuning in and buying tickets you will continue to see these to be continued approaches. I think that actually if you want to know what else i think you can catch the second half of this commentary in the spring of 2015. I really think Climate Change is not just melting glaciers it is a people story. When does this become the priority. Years of living dangerously, the series, only on show time.
