[ light laughter ] >> jimmy: that's a good one. >> and i quoted napoleon who said, "history is a set of lies agreed upon." [ light laughter ] so, what i do, and i'm not knocking historians, because -- but you never know when you hear these stories about people, whether they're true or whether they're invented and just -- and they get funnier, you know?

but i am, like, considered the worst cook in my family. so i'm relegated to just wrapping the presents. [ light laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah. >> that's okay. that's okay. i'm okay with that. >> jimmy: you don't do anything with the -- >> i don't do anything with the food. i'm not allowed anywhere-- >> jimmy: do you think you'll ever get the bug? like maybe eventually you're like, "hey, i do know how to cook." >> no, the thing is i actually think i'm a good cook. it's just that i put health first and taste second, and they put taste first. >> jimmy: oh, no. yeah, i'm with -- [ light laughter ] i'm with mom and dad on that one. i'm so sorry. i'm with mom and dad absolutely. i need, oh yeah, lots of butter and oh my gosh. >> yeah. we have like ackee and saltfish. jerk chicken. >> jimmy: yeah, callaloo? >> callaloo and then they, like they soak the -- >> jimmy: healthy, there you go. >> yeah, very healthy. and then they, like, soak all the dried fruit that goes into the cake a year before christmas. so as soon as christmas is over then they're soaking -- >> jimmy: what do they soak it in? >> in rum. jamaican rum. >> jimmy: yes!

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: and who wouldn't you want more than will smith at dinner? >> exactly, exactly. >> jimmy: he's the best, right? >> but it was hilarious because my family, like my step dad's a a teacher and my mom's, she's actually a healer. and my brother and sister are y us. and it was just hilarious to watch my family act as though they were just so casual. like every day, you know, the world's biggest movie star just comes over for dinner. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: see that's what makes him cool, i love that. >> and then midway through the dinner, i saw like my brother like bringing up his camera phone above the table -- [ laughter ] like this. and taking a picture. and i was like, "stop it. stop it." >> jimmy: kicking him under the table? >> so embarrassing. and then i --

like, hey, mom. "i love warren beatty, too, and will smith." >> afterwards i went up to my brother and i was like, "max, this is not okay. you know, it's not moral. it's not ethical. you took a picture without asking someone." and my brother was like, "whatever nai, mom's already posted it on facebook."

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: i remember -- this was in west saugerties, right? >> yep. >> jimmy: i remember telling my parents, because it was for sale when i was in high school and i go, "we should buy big pink and turn it into a museum and, like, that's how we'll make money." and my parents were like, "we don't have money." [ laughter ] "we can't just buy another house. what's wrong with you?"

how did you get there? >> well, we had come from the city, from new york, to find a a place where we wouldn't be disturbing anybody. every time we tried to make music, somebody would be banging on the walls saying, "hey, turn it down in there." and -- and i really felt i had this yearning to have a a workplace, a sanctuary. somewhere that we could go and make all the music we wanted and nobody would say anything, and we found it. a hundred acres. and so we went there and spent so much time making music. the amount of noise that came out of that place is -- i'm telling you, there's never been anything like it. >> jimmy: was that the secret to the band, you think? i mean, because you were already great. you were the hawks right? >> yeah. but this was when we had to -- to make our discovery. we had played -- you know, when i was a kid, when i was 16, i joined ronnie hawkins and the hawks.

and then we hooked up with bob dylan. and then after that, it was time for us to make our move. and our move, we needed to find a workshop, a clubhouse, where we could go and discover everything. and we could make this big gumbo of music from all the things we had gathered over the years. >> jimmy: and figure out what your sound is. >> and this was the place that it came out of. >> jimmy: you have the best stories in here. i will also say the paper stock is very q [ laughter ] it really is. >> nice touch. >> jimmy: great touch to it. whoever did thought of that, good move. i've got so many stories. one of the ones i love in here is you hearing velvet underground for the first time. where were you? >> max's. >> jimmy: kansas city. >> max's kansas city, yeah. there was so much going on in the streets than music. you know, you go into one place and jimi hendrix would be playing. the velvet underground would be here. van morrison would be over it

to me, because in our group, we've been around. we'd been playing the chitlin circuit down south and all over and wood shedding and paying our dues and everything. and it felt like these guys were kind of new or something. and i -- >> jimmy: you had a great line in the book. >> and i said, you know, it almost seemed like they got guitars for christmas and said, "let's start a band." >> jimmy: it's just so fun. but that's the way every band starts. which is great. the companion cd is well done. it's hand-picked by you. you got songs from you solo, the band, you have bob dylan on here. and i will say, levon and the hawks, "he don't love you" is just unbelievable. quest, you're going to freak out for this. >> questlove: i can't wait. >> jimmy: it's a jammer here. then we have to talk about "the last waltz", 40th anniversary. >> the 40th anniversary of "the last waltz." >> jimmy: that came fast. >> which i'm in complete denial about. [ light laughter ]

this giant concert, because you just said, like, the band's done. we're finished. we're just -- >> we had -- we wanted to bring it to a conclusion. we had been together 16 years, and we had kind of done everything, we thought. and so it was like, let's have a musical celebration. and -- and we'll close this episode and then we'll come back with a new creative spirit. we had all of these ideas in mind. modest idea. we thought, we'll play a last concert where we played our first concert as the band, and we'll invite ronnie hawkins -- that we started out with -- and bob dylan. that would be the respectful thing to do. >> jimmy: cool. >> and then someone said, "i know, but we can't do this and not invite eric clapton. i mean that's just wrong." >> jimmy: i mean, hello. >> he's been waving the flag since the beginning. >> jimmy: invite eric clapton to everything. >> and then i said, "oh, geez,

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah and you got van morrison and you got to invite neil young. if you got neil young -- >> you got to get the canadians in there. [ cheers ] >> jimmy: oh, yeah. canada in the house. yeah 'cause -- i saw the fleur-de-lis. >> yeah. oh, yeah. we think a lot of people are going to be looking at canada here pretty soon. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: yeah, yeah. good investment there. this companion book is a a rare -- i don't know who put this one together too. but this is for "the last waltz" and it's got like scrip notes, because scorsese ended up directing this film. i don't know -- can you see it? >> what happened was after we did "the last waltz" -- and for martin scorcese it wasn't like oh, we'll get a bunch of guys with cameras and we'll shoot. and we'll see if we can -- he wanted to make a movie. he wanted this film and it was the first one ever shot in 35 millimeter like this. >> jimmy: and how cool is martin? >> so after he did it, as a a gift, he put his whole script and his story boards and all

gave it to me as a gift. and so my copy of this has been living at the rock and roll hall of fame museum, and they just recently said, "do you think it would be okay with marty if we made these again? and that we could actually share it with some people?" marty said, "great." and so they've done it. and look at it. >> jimmy: i know. it's a beast. it's real. >> yeah. >> jimmy: that's -- yeah. >> it's kind of hard for you to not hurt your back with it. >> jimmy: yeah. i've never seen anything like it. >> jimmy: it's fantastic and i just. please get this book if you love rock and roll, if you love music.
