{ During a KPFA fundraiser telephone interview Joe was asked who
Jerry was, and what it was all about. His response was "Jerry was a
man who lived in New York City. He lived in an apartment, alone
and was very depressed; and what he did was record his phone
conversations, with everybody, for years. and when people came
over to visit at his apartment he'd record them, too. He became so
depressed he couldn't leave his apartment. His brother Mannie (who
you also hear in that show) would come to his place with food, to
keep him alive; and ultimately he died, a relatively young man in his
early forties, of a brain aneurysm. After he died, his brother had
all these tapes, hundreds of tapes of these phone conversations and
he knew that his brother Jerry had been a fan of my program and he
thought 'Well, maybe Joe can use some of this material maybe he'll
put it on the air.' So he sent me a excerpts ... and I found this
material very compelling and decided to make a radio series based on
those recordings. So what you hear in 'Jerry's World' is Jerry, who
is now dead, and his brother Mannie who very much admired him... and
this girlfriend earlier of Jerry and then of Mannie and now she was
going out on her own, and her name was Meryl, and there was another
woman involved, but these were all tapes of real conversations and
real life being played out from various times in the life of a man
who died rather tragically." }
