The Spirit of ‘64 - Editing Script

The Spirit of ‘64 - Script

Story about Mickey Jr. and his life in chronological order. It starts with Mickey Sr. talking about Mickey’s birth, how much he weighed, the experience having his first child.

We go into the children, how many children the family (Mickey Sr. and Francis had), things they did growing up such as playing baseball, fooling around and eventually getting into motorcycles.

Briefly discuss their interest in motorcycles,  how they were good at racing (Mickey Jr. and Ricky) but how his worst nightmare came true.

Open with Mickey Sr. describing where he was that night when he got a call to phone home, going to sacramento and visiting his son.

Maybe: discuss Mickey Sr.’s previous experience with working for a handicapped girl so he was somewhat familiar.

Discussing the issues in the hospital, what he did and how he really committed to staying with his son in order to ensure he was doing ok.

Discuss Mickey Sr. selling his car collection in order to make money and build the downstairs unit for Mickey. Go into all the work needed in order to successfully complete the place. Mickey then moves out and into his own place, doing what he wants at age 18 and moving in with Ricky. Talk briefly about their lives, what Mickey was getting into. Low point: Mickey beginning to abuse the drugs.

Mickey Jr and Sr watching Ricky at a race and Mickey Jr asking his father to build a racecar. The start of the racing. It was almost safer than on the streets since he had a cage and padding whereas he did not in his van.

Mickey struggling to meet regulations and was sanctioned by nascar to finally drive. A few racing moments, truly victorious.

Recalling his last moments alive

Remembering Mickey

Miss him a lot, wish we could be like him, happy, not blaming others for his problems, etc

I have a business on freedom blvd in watsonville, waiting and waiting, he said i’m pregnant, she didn’t show, went in and had the baby, no big deal (moved to 1)

Born in Watsonville hospital in 1958 July 20

Average, 7 pounds, average, too many kids

Very emotional having your first, very important to you and your experience, i had this dog named mopsey, micky would say dog, called ricky dog

Vicky, 18 months younger (than ricky) mick, rick, then randy and tammy (ricky talking)

5 kids, rhymes? Just happened that way, ran out of icky's

Kids somedays are good, picking on eachother, typical family stuff

He didn’t sleep, we would put him in the car and take him for a ride to put him to sleep

Fun, real fun - ricky, lot of crazy stuff

We are 18 months apart

18 months apart

Me and rick best friends

Vicky: mick oldest, middle, younger sister 8-9 years younger than mick, we were 3 years apart, 58, 59,60, they would use me to play pickle, they were trouble, pile of horse crap

Micky was good at pitching, ricky was a catcher, couldn’t reach second base, won every game

He attended south sequatis, graduated, and went to watsonville high school, things going on that i didn’t like, more gang related stuff, things that weren’t good

Even in the summertime we would hang out once in awhile did couple of things, became kind of close

Micky as a teenager was very athletic, baseball, got into racing motorcycles at a very young age, how about a dirt bike? He was very good, all three of my boys played little league

Met mick when i was a freshman in high school, a lot of fun took place, a group of us that got together and partied a lot, the kids had to drive a special car of their fathers, flipped the english taxi, i had a good time

We went to watsonville high school for a couple of years, we weren’t there so we were all expelled, ended  up at monte vista christian school, micky met this gal dolly, he was in love with this girl, he changed his life, took the christian way of life, things were good for a long time

All three of us were class clowns, mickey was a year older, who could be the most obnoxious in class, 4-5 of us in class, mike stone, a lot of guys, a lot of fun, always pranks at the school

Very good boy, a lot of friends, played a lot, it was good - father, how was he with the ladies? A lot of girlfriends, good looking guy

Micky was good with the girls, they all liked him, he liked girls, they would come to the house, you don’t get too acquainted, not too close

Micky was a very good boy

“ “ had a lot of friends, entertained himself, he had a lot of girlfriends, they all liked him, handsome boy

Motorcycle friend, watsonville hs, having a great time, bullshitting with his buddies, cut here and there, things still don’t change, he was a character

We went to watsonville hs first, my dad restored cars, had a customers car, i felt weird about it because everyone drove normal cars, we took it to the swimming pool, got all drunk and rolled it, we finished off at monte vista christian high school

When we rolled the car into the apple orchard, 7 people in it, there was a mechanics garage above the hill, used the phone to call my mom, he asked us our names, he goes i know your dad, you might as well lay on the ground and i’ll shoot ya, she handed him 3 valiums, after they wore off, wasn’t a good deal, 2 days later we were enrolled at monte vista

Last year in hs was my first year (vicky), they showed my dad their report cards, the one they did bring home had all F’s and a D minus, yanked us out of watsonville hs

I remember the hs stuff, one thing after another, dad doesn’t know how many times the boys would sneak out in the middle of the night, sneak out the cars and my dad would have no clue. My freshman year, it was a rainy day, there’s a huge mud puddle, mick is driving and says something is wrong with a back tire, roll down the window and look out as he hits the mud puddle, he wouldn’t turn the car around so i could go home and change, that was his practical jokes

He has stitches because of me, we were terrible kids, mean evil

“ “, our parents didn’t know the half of it

Frances and i talked about it, put him into monte vista christian hs, my kids brought kids over, lots of kids over here, thanksgiving, christmas, they were coming here, had large families around me all the time, some important kids, amazing they picked a school in watsonville, ended up here

Frances was a good mother, she went with us, like baseball games she was always there, motorcycle races always there, tammy did faulting on horses, tammy’s mother would always be there

Frances and I split up, she got killed about a mile from here coming down a mountain, the grateful dead played at the fairgrounds, there was a lot of traffic, they got run off the road, fell off a small cliff

Frances was involved with the kids, the girls had horses she was involved, we had a barn, the girls had horses so the boys wanted something to do so we played baseball, then we got into motorcycles, frances was involved with the horses and the motorcycles, i bought a bus, built a motor, took the seats out, painted it, made it safe, 40-passenger bus, frances, the kids and i went motorcycle racing to carson city nv once or twice a week

My mom really liked the racing, we’d have to get up at 4am sometimes, old school bus, tie downs, leather, refrigerator, stove, and drive to Placerville and nobody ever complained, we just did it, stayed all night, didn’t get home till late at night then off the school the next day

I’m not sure of the time, but the heaviness of my eyes tell me that it’s an hour I should be well asleep. Blinking slow, I take a deep breath and hurl myself up to a seated position, my silk robe rubs against the cold sheets. Across my bedroom is a wicker dresser where I keep several plastic bins without their lids. I dig deep in a bin filled with old cords that are no longer compatible with my most-used devices. Finally finding the 800 to 800-pin firewire that connects my Orange LaCie rugged hard drive, I feel for the rubbery edges and drop the metal block of memories onto my wooden desk. This is the first image that caught my eye open sifting through files.

I  co-produced this short video about the CASFS Apprenticeship Program at UCSC. Additionally, I conducted the three interviews, shot some verite, and recorded the voiceover.

Our first screening was at the SAEA Conference, promoting food justice and agroecology. Made with Alyssa Billys, Carlos Lemus, David Robles. Song by David Robles and Aubrey Wilson.
