:29:03
If you came across them,
somebody like myself...
:29:06
who was a musical expeditionary...
:29:09
you know, you just would have to
immerse yourself in them.
:29:12
So we started trying to track Dylan down.
:29:14
We tried the fraternity house
where he had once been.
:29:17
No luck there. We got another address,
and then yet another.
:29:21
And everybody said,
"Boy, this kid must be popular," you know.
:29:23
"You're about the tenth guy looking for him"
you know, at every place we went.
:29:27
And I don't know how we finally found him,
but we got a current apartment.
:29:31
This was a John Wayne production number,
that John did.
:29:34
He got a bowling pin,
and he got a big cigar...
:29:37
and John was 6'4" or something like this.
:29:43
And he wasn't ever intending to hit Dylan
with the bowling pin or anything...
:29:46
but he was really gonna do the bit.
:29:48
John just started waving the bowling pin
over his head, and just saying:
:29:52
"I'm gonna beat the hell out of you.
Where are my records?"
:29:55
And Dylan was very scared
for the first time around this routine went.
:29:59
But he maintained his cool somehow...
:30:03
and it somehow settled
into sort of an absurdist drama...
:30:06
where they would sort of talk.
:30:09
Dylan would say something interesting,
and John would get interesting...
:30:12
and they'd start to talk, and they'd start
to sort of like each other a little bit.
:30:16
Then John would remember
why he was there...
:30:18
and he'd start brandishing the pin again.
:30:20
And they'd play the whole scene out again.
:30:39
I wanted to get to the East Coast
to visit Woody Guthrie.
:30:43
When I first heard him, I didn't know
if he was dead or alive, really.
:30:46
But then I discovered
that he was definitely alive...
:30:50
and he was in a hospital...
:30:54
with some kind of ailment.
:30:57
So I thought it'd be a nice gesture
to go visit him.
