THINGS WEREN’T working out as planned, though. Getting ready for Subterranean Jungle was a rough battle. Marc was starting to flip. The years of self-abuse were catching up with him. He had that “one way ticket on the crazy train” thing going. The last stop is always off the edge. You can’t come back either.

Marc was coming to rehearsals really stoned and angry. Strangely, he almost seemed happy about his condition. You couldn’t win by complaining about it. He would say that he had just been to see the doctor and that it was all band-related. He told us that the sessions he was having with the doctor were very painful and that the doctor had put him on dope. Then he would run out of the rehearsal room and laugh until he calmed down a bit and returned to the studio again for a while.

We had to be very careful around Marc, because he was prone to violence and dangerous. No one wanted any trouble from him. It was also funny seeing him giggling and making strange hiccuping noises after a row with us. Sometimes it got so bad we couldn’t rehearse—Marc would drop his pants down to his ankles, stick his bare ass in the air and start to shake it. He would fold his arms into wings and start flapping them up and down, as if he were trying to fly for everyone. Finally he would peck with his nose and start running around the room in a frenzy, shouting “Chicken beak boy! Chicken beak boy!”

It was when we were recording on Long Island that Marc flipped completely. I had just walked into the studio and John and Joey were waiting for me by the door.

“Don’t go in there, Dee Dee,” they said.

“Ok. What’s happening, dudes?” I replied.

“Go home,” they told me. “It’s Marc, he’s flipped his wig. He’s in there now doing that chicken beak boy dance. He’s really out of control. It looks bad, Dee Dee.”
