Philip C. Kaufman (born April 26, 1935) is an American record producer, tour manager, and author, best known for stealing the body of country musician Gram Parsons, and burning it in Joshua Tree National Monument. This was later chronicled in the film ''Grand Theft Parsons''. Kaufman is the author of the book ''Road Mangler Deluxe'', an autobiography about his experiences in the music business. During his career Kaufman worked with Parsons, The Rolling Stones, Emmylou Harris, Joe Cocker, Frank Zappa, Hank Williams III, Etta James, and many more.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1888580089/crystalridge )〕 Kaufman's career in music began as the driver and assistant to The Rolling Stones during the recording of ''Beggar's Banquet'', referred to by Mick Jagger as his "executive nanny."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=2a2b3rBrHM4#! )〕 Kaufman had previously acted in Hollywood, with bit parts in ''Spartacus'', ''Riot in Juvenile Prison'', and ''Pork Chop Hill'', among others, before a felony marijuana smuggling conviction in the mid 1960s. After getting out of prison (where he would befriend fellow inmate Charles Manson), Kaufman was offered a job driving for Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull, who were in Los Angeles at the time for the mixing of ''Beggars Banquet''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://alternativestovalium.blogspot.com/2007/04/phil-kaufman-executive-nanny-corpse.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1888580089/crystalridge )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=2a2b3rBrHM4#! )〕 Through Keith Richards, Kaufman met Gram Parsons, and agreed to tour manage his group The Flying Burrito Brothers, although he had no prior tour managing experience.〔 The song "Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?" from Frank Zappa's album ''Joe's Garage'' tells the story of Philip C. Kaufman's 'urination problems'.〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLPIxe6GUKY〕 ==Parsons' death== After Parson's death from an accidental drug overdose, Kaufman borrowed a hearse and drove to Los Angeles International Airport, convincing airline staff to release Parsons' body to him. According to Kaufman, he had made a pact with Parsons prior to his death regarding handling of their remains in the event of either Parson's or Kaufman's death. The 2003 movie ''Grand Theft Parsons'' follows Kaufman taking Parsons' body and burning it in the desert, with Johnny Knoxville portraying Kaufman.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1888580089/crystalridge )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phil Kaufman (producer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
