:11:01
Our reality was fear that at any moment...
:11:04
this black cloud would explode,
where everybody would be dead.
:11:10
They would show you in school,
how to dive for cover under your desk.
:11:14
We grew up with all that,
so it created a sense of paranoia...
:11:18
that, I don't know, was probably unforeseen.
:11:27
In May, 1959,
I recorded a tape for Bob Zimmerman.
:11:31
Bob was real excited to learn
I had a tape recorder...
:11:34
and he wanted to know
what he sounded like.
:11:40
I really can't say
if the girls took a liking to me or not...
:11:42
from playing around town.
:11:44
The first girl that ever took a liking to me,
her name was Gloria Story.
:11:48
Gloria Story, I mean,
that was her real name.
:11:51
Second girlfriend was named Echo.
Now, that's pretty strange.
:11:54
I've never met anybody named Echo.
:12:00
I serenaded her underneath the ladder
that went up to her window.
:12:04
And both these girls, by the way,
brought out the poet in me.
:12:08
Long after we have gone...
:12:10
while the flesh of our beginning has not yet
traveled the light years into distance...
:12:15
it will disappear into the blackness
of the space from which we came...
:12:19
destroyed as we began,
in a burst of gas and fire.
:12:27
James Dean, Brando, The Wild One.
:12:30
It didn't kill all the entire past.
:12:32
It's not like they just appeared
and there's a new scene happening now.
:12:35
Time, you know, time kind of
obliterated the past...
:12:39
that was around when I was growing up.
:12:42
Just time and progress, really.
:12:45
How does it feel
:12:48
Oh, how does it feel
:12:54
To be on your own
:12:59
With no direction home
