There's a profile of John Lurie and John Perry and their spat in the current issue of "The New Yorker." It was a decent read... but dude seems terribly annoying and paranoid and egotistic. Supposedly, Tom Waits never spoke to John Lurie again after this episode filmed.

"Sleeping with Weapons: Why did John Lurie Disappear?" By Tad Friend
And "Fishing with John," a tongue-in-cheek cable show about his fishing trips with wild men like Dennis Hopper, showcased all his ingenuity and lacerating candor. Tom Waits got so mad at Lurie during their trip that the two stopped speaking. Matt Dillon complained about his episode, Lurie recalls, saying, "You made me look dumb." "No," Lurie replied. "God did that." (Dillon says that he doesn't remember the conversation.) And so ended that relationship, too.
At the conclusion of an ice-fishing episode co-starring Willem Dafoe, the narrator announced that both men had starved to death. In fact, Dafoe is still alive and still speaking to Lurie--or in theory still speaking to him. A year and a half ago, at the age of fifty-six, Lurie disappeared. Dafoe said, "Maybe this reclusiveness is his way of continuing to try to make sense of things--you could never separate John's work from his personal challenges."

The Jim Jarmusch episode is pretty good too. The Tom Waits and Willem Defoe episodes are just fantastic.

His work with the Lounge Lizards is pretty fantastic too. It was a Jazz/Punk fusion and it pretty much blew my mind when I first heard it.
The mix on this is all fucked up, but I think the raw power of the band comes through. It's off Sunday Night from 1988.

Get the Video Player I believe this was NYC Public Access Cable during the 80s. I do know it's on the DVD for Stop Making Sense as an extra feature.
