“We went to Tokyo for the premiere of Stand By Me.... He would go to the park outside the Imperial Hotel-guys and girls were playing guitars there-and he'd tell them, "Come up, come up to the room." And that room was filled with kids from the park; he would play guitar for them and give them fruit and juice.”
