for some reason when filming a television show or movie in newport beach, california, the town requires a "liaison" or town employee to oversee the shoot.
the town sent marty. marty overstepped his authoritative presence and never stopped talking. most of his stories were complete bullshit but all were entertaining:
-Marty claimed to have picked up a hitch-hiker who "smelled awful and wore a dirty coat". After not being able to take the stench any longer he kicked the hitcher out. that hitch-hiker was bob dylan.
-In the late 60's marty claimed he would "head over to Joan's (Baez) place while she played guitar naked for me".
-Marty claimed to have attended the filming of the last waltz and hung out backstage because in his words, "I wasn't there for the music, heck no! They had one of the best craft services tables I'd ever seen!"
when marty wasn't exaggerating or outright lying he spent his day eating food, getting other people off task, being racist or sleeping in the sun.
oh marty...
