Why did they pick me . Thats a funny question. Im very grateful. Very, very grateful. But you know, my answer to the other side is, why not me . There were plenty of reasons why not back in the day when he was James Todd Smith growing up in queens, new york his home life was turbulent. When he was 4yearold he saw his father shoot his mother and grandfather in a jealous rage. They both recovered and while his mother worked multiple jobs he was largely raised by his grandparents. You know, my grandfather exposed me to music different cultures. When he was 11 his grandfather gave him a 2,000 turn table set up so he could play dj in the attic. That gift put him on his path. I dont know many grand dads or dads or anybody who is going to drop that kind of money. Yeah, he was willing to dig deep in his pockets and pay that kind of price to keep me in the house and keep me out of trouble. It was the early 1980s rap was in its infancy and young todd wanted in. First he needed a new name. The name. Ll cool j. Ladies love cool james. Where did that come from . Wishful thinkin. I wanted the ladies to love you. Absolutely, couldnt wait. The ladies werent lovin you back then. Not much as i wanted. Then he went after a record deal. Targeting a new label, def jam and its founder rick rubin. You signed with def jam. At 16, how did you manage that . I sent a tape in to rick and called him every single day. Persistent. One day he called me back. My grandmother answered the phone. Came in, couldnt pronounce it. Dick stubin, just anything but rick rubin. I called him back, i was really overwhelmed and overjoyed i felt i had an opportunity. And i made the most of it. I what say so. Whats so funny . Absolutely. Explain it to the rest of us. When youre growing up in queens and you know, you walk in your math class teacher punches you in the back calls you a dummy. Go to your next class teachers tell you theyre going to read about you as a criminal. When you grow up in that kind of environment, when you get an opportunity you make the most of it its fun and its funny. Its not easy. He sees another opportunity when friend invited him on to the movie krush groove. He hadnt been hired by anybody he was visiting. Im bouncing off the walls. Like, all right grab a broom. Grab some crates. Running and dancing. Go over there. I just did everything i had to do eventually i worked and worked. Box. He somehow got film makers to let him perform. The movie set the stage for his career as rapper and actor. Meanwhile, still a teenager he pioneered a softer side of hip hop with hits like i need love. And then he found love. Todd bought me my first pair of earrings when i was like 17 years old. He met Simone Johnson in his Old Neighborhood. But as their relationship developed it hit some tough times. He wrote in his autobiography about the groupies hanging around his concerts. Seemed the ladies started loving cool j a little too much. Because hes a godfearing man. Thats one of the reasons. I read his autobiography he wasnt always oh, yeah. Always had faith in god. But he laughs about it. Yeah. But i mean, you laugh about it. Thats your past. Your past is your past. Your future is important. Ll and simone got married in 1995 and have four children. Marketing her jewelry is a family affair. Her signature lollipop necklace represents her battle to overcome cancer several years ago. No matter how big you get you should never ever forget where you came from. And ll keeps in touch with his Old Neighborhood in queens, remembering that when he was growing up, there was very little to keep him out of trouble. Stay on that play baby. The last decade he sponsored a basketball tournament during the summer. You know, when you do something for ten years and you have kids that grow, thats up, sweetheart . You have kids that grow up in the program and people grow up doing this thats like most rewarding feeling in the world. At 47, ll cool j is a hit whether hes working with kids or working make some beautiful noise working the grammy stage. Or the concert stage. And James Todd Smiths wish has come true. Because the ladies definitely love cool j. Osgood ahead. Copy that. Hi, tom. Hows the College Visit . Does it make the short list . Yeah, im afraid so. Its okay. This is what weve been planning for. Knowing our clients personally is why edward jones is the big company that doesnt act that way. Are you still getting heartburn flareups . Time for a new routine. Try nexium® 24hr. The latest choice for frequent heartburn. Get complete protection. Nexium level protection. Osgood and now a page from hour sunday morning almanac. February 8th 1906. 109 years ago today. The day Chester Carlson was born in seattle washington. Trained as a scientist, carlson was an Office Worker in new york city in the 1930s when he virtually singlehandedly developed a new way to copy documents. He called his process electrophotography. In 1947, a Small Company called haloid bought the rights to this process which was renamed xerography a combination of the greek words for dry and writing. Renamed xerox in 1961 the company grew in to a multibillion dollar corporation. Arrival of the first copier was a watershed day for any 1960s era office as depicted in the tv series mad men. Take up the lockers in the side wall. The break room. Dont take away the break room. Im not taking away anything. Believe me this machine is a gift to you girls. Happy valentines girls. Xerox has had to wage vigorous trademark protections trying to discourage treatment using xerox as a verb. Or as a synonym for the copies themselves. As for Chester Carlson he died at the age of 62 in 1968 with man many hon hours to his name. And though the company is expanding beyond the Copying Technology he pioneered its a safe guess that people will be making copies with xerox machines for a long time to come. For get those sheets of carbon paper used so much in days of old, today folks copy on machines as Chester Carlson once foretold. Coming up, tattoos. Sign of the times. Go go go hes challenging the very fabric of society. In a post cannonball world was it Grilled Cheese . Guilty the aquatic delinquency is a larger issue to this you did it again, didnt you . Yup. How do they make starburst taste so juicy . They use wicked small fighter jets to shoot the juiciness into every starburst. [ pilot ] its about to get juicy. Whoo i feel so aliii. It takes guts. [ female announcer ] starburst. Unexplainably juicy. Man when i got shingles it was something awful. It was like being blindsided by some linebacker. You dont see it coming. Boom if youve had chicken pox that shingles virus is already inside of you. It aint pretty when it comes out. Now im not telling you this so that youll feel sorry for me. Im just here to tell you that one out of three people are gonna end up getting shingles. I was one of em. So please go talk to your doctor or pharmacist. Lilly. She pretty much lives in her favorite princess dress. But once a week i let her play sheriff so i can wash it. I use tide to get out those week old stains and downy to get it fresh and soft. You are free to go. Tide and downy together. Eh, you dont want that one. Yea, actually i do. Its Mucinex Fastmax night time and its got a nasal decongestant. Is that really a thing . It sounds made up. Mucinex fast max night time for multisymptom relief. Breathe easy. Sleep easy. Lets end this. Osgood artists have been using ink for thousands of years. Faith salie now shows us a particular type of artist to have creative but true body of work. This is my wedding bouquet. It was a really important part of my life. When it comes to body art beauty really is skin deep. Its really a couple hours of pain but its worth it. Why is it worth it . Its just the art. Made its way in to galleries museums, Fashion Shows even the cover of the new yorker. What made you want to make documentary about tattoos. It started out as photographic. Made a film about this very old and new new phenomenon. Estimated 15 of americans have tattoos. 40 of the age ruin 2640. Really fascinating. The sincerity of the people, the imagery, nothing to do with what i thought. By choosing images that celebrated their neighborhoods, religion and loved ones, the chicano people of east l. A. Had a key role in elevating black and grey to an art form. Peoples art form. Knights wonder people seeking such personal and permanent art want to place their bodies in the hands of classically trained fine artists. You do oil painting. You draw. Do you charcoal. The whole gamut. In 2009, friday jones opened tattoo couture located on new york citys 5th avenue. I had seen a lot of my friends graduating college and they still wanted to get tattooed but i had to take them to an exposed street shop. Thought this they deserved serene environment and felt safe to talk about spirituality and pain. Youve been doing this 22 years. What is the revolution. My clients are so much more fearless than they have ever been. They come up with all sorts of envelope pushing ideas. Ideas like 3d tattoos watercolor tattoos even glow in the dark tattoos. Generates more than 2 billion a year. Tattoos have been around for centuries. One of the oldest was discovered in the italian alps on 5,300yearold mummy. All over places in his body that had evidence of things like arthritis, they were healing tattoos. Tattoo historian says the art often reflects what is going on in broader culture which is why for much of the 20th century it was soldiers and sailors exercising their right to bear arms. The proud memory of the fighting days inspires the tattoos. Any time we have a war we get this desire to show their patriotism in a deep way. A turning point for tattoos came with womens liberation. Certainly women were getting tattoos as way of breaking out of this mold of the woman who gets told what to do. And this man capitalized on the revolution. That was war painting and gynecologist because favorite spot for ladies to get tattoos was inside the bikini line. Lyle tuttle is an 83yearold tattoo artist, often called the father of modern tattooing. It was not migrate artistic tall then got me to where im at today, but i was in everybodys favorite city. Cbs news is in San Francisco because this city gained reputation of being the hippie capital of the world. As hippies swayed to psychedelic rock in 60s, tattooing enjoy a renaissance. You belonged to an elite club. In that club tuttle emerged as the grand poba, inking the likes of joan baez, the allman brothers and janice joplin. It was her bracelet and heart that helped thrust the art in to the spotlight. The spotlight also showed on tuttle landing on the pages Rolling Stone life magazine and the bible of american business. Wall street journal did a profile of me on the front page about a man that markets the improbable product, all of a sudden the Business World said, tattoos are cool. These days tattoos or ubiquitous project. Like scott eureka, more than 45 million americans have gone under the gun. Symbolism of the two most important things in my life, my faith and my family. While tattoos have become a kind of fine art for the masses, they still come at a price. About 400 an hour at jones studio. What do people expect from a tattoo artist today . Expect works of art on their skin. Thank you, thank you. Osgood still to come. Jk simmons goes for the gold. This sock will be highlight on the grammys tonight, before that youll hear it and the story behind it on 60 minutes. Hey i found my true love livin in a sweet dream. Singin my Favorite Song and it all starts with you. Whoaohohoh, all this goodness. What matters most should always come first. Which is why whole grain is the first ingredient in every General Mills big g cereal. And why we never use high fructose corn syrup. General mills. Look for the big g. It means goodness first. Did can i to you Start Playing again . Sorry why you stopped playing your version of an answer was to turn in a wind up monkey. Yes, sir. Osgood jk simmons, in the movie whiplash role that could win him oscar for best supporting actor when they call for the envelope please. As John Blackstone now tells us simmons path to the red carpet has been years in the making. With his riveting performance in whiplash as an explosive and brutally demanding music teacher. Do you think youre out of tune . Then why the [bleep] didnt you say so. Jk simmons finds himself in an unusual position. The center of attention. Thank you thank you. For the last 30 years in movies. I got blueberry syrup. On tv. A dime a dozen. And in the insurance commercials. The more you know the better you can plan for whats ahead.
