"I was born in Duluth, Minnesota, in 1941.
Moved to Gallup, New Mexico.

:55:05
"Then, until now...
:55:08
"lived in Iowa, South Dakota, Kansas,
North Dakota, for a little bit.

:55:12
"Started playing in carnivals
when I was 14 with guitar and piano".

:55:16
"Arvella Gray taught him blues songs...
:55:18
"a blind street singer from Chicago,
about four or five years ago.

:55:21
"Used to know a guy named
Mance Lipscomb, from Navasota, Texas.

:55:25
"Listened to him a lot. Met him
through his grandson, a rock 'n' roller".

:55:28
Now, listened to Arvella Gray in Chicago...
:55:32
Mance Lipscomb in Texas...
:55:34
I should have figured out right away,
he's bullshitting me.

:55:36
And I only found out later...
:55:39
that he had borrowed 400 records
from Tony Glover...

:55:42
or something like that,
which he still hasn't returned.

:55:45
And things like that.
:55:47
So I was a setup, a very easy setup,
and I'm proud of it.

:55:51
Because the guy wrote good songs.
I didn't care what he was telling me.

:55:54
I saw it advertised one day
:55:56
A Bear Mountain picnic was comin' my way
:55:59
Come along with us and take a trip
:56:01
We'll transport you up there on a ship
:56:04
Bring the wife and kids
:56:07
Fun for all
:56:10
Yippee
:56:12
The owner of the place
finally gave me a two-week run.

:56:17
He had me open for John Lee Hooker.
:56:18
Well, it don't seem to me quite so funny
:56:21
What some of these people
are gonna do for money

:56:24
There's a brand new gimmick every day
:56:26
Just to take somebody's money away
:56:29
I didn't really feel like
I was making a step forward anywhere.

:56:31
Things were taking its natural course.
:56:35
Now, November 4,
Bob Dylan will be singing.

:56:39
And that should be a very eventful occasion.
:56:41
Bob was born in Duluth, Minnesota...
:56:43
but, Bob, you weren't raised
in Duluth, were you?

:56:46
I was raised in Gallup, New Mexico.
:56:48
And did you get many songs there?
:56:50
Got a lot of cowboy songs there.
Indian songs.

:56:53
Well, I'm gonna get you, Sally gal
:56:55
I'm gonna get you, Sally gal
:56:57
I'm gonna get you, Sally gal
:56:59
I'm gonna get you, Sally gal
