to score a collection of other Bernstein's recordings with jazz and ambient music, as Bernstein's performance at Monroe was too poor to be released. The album was not completed by the time of Bernstein's death. On October 22, 1991, at the age of 40, Bernstein committed suicide by stabbing himself in the throat while visiting friends in Neah Bay, Washington, although not simultaneously. Prison was released on April 1, 1992. In 1994, one of these recordings, "Me and Her Outside (No No Man)," was used in the film Natural Born Killers. I Am Secretly an Important Man, a collection of poetry, short stories, and spoken performances, was released in March 1996 by Zero Hour Publishing. His song A Little Bit of Everything (That Brought Me Down to This), from the Trigger Recordings album, The Sad Bag, was also included on the two-CD set Home Alive, the proceeds from which benefited women's self-defense groups in the Seattle area. Eventually, filmmaker Peter Sillen released a documentary on Bernstein, I Am Secretly An Important Man, in spite of everybody.
