1:08:01
Yes, I'd do anything
in this God almighty world
1:08:04
If you just let me follow you down
1:08:09
To think that entertainers
always have to be happy and funny...
1:08:12
is kind of a shallow thing.
1:08:14
In fact, I've often remembered
one of Bob's quotes is:
1:08:18
"Happy? Anybody can be happy.
What's the purpose of that?"
1:08:23
The original Mexican name was
La Feria de las Flores...
1:08:28
The Festival of Flowers.
1:08:42
The moment I became acquainted
with old songs...
1:08:45
I realized people
were always changing them.
1:08:51
Think of it as an age-old process.
It's been going on for thousands of years.
1:08:56
People take old songs,
change them a little...
1:09:01
add to them, adapt them for new people.
It happens in every other field.
1:09:05
Lawyers change old laws to fit new citizens.
1:09:09
So I'm one in this long chain
and so are millions of other musicians.
1:09:13
And Woody stepped right in that.
He was always making up verses...
1:09:17
songs about real life,
real people, real events.
1:09:19
The idea is that you make up
a song about something real...
1:09:23
don't expect that it'll ever make any money.
1:09:25
It may never be heard by more than a few
dozen people, but who knows? Who knows?
1:09:31
And I look upon us all as Woody's children.
1:09:34
Bob Dylan is... Well, you must be
20 years old now, I assume.
1:09:36
Yeah, I must be 20.
1:09:39
- Are you?
- Yeah, I'm 20.
1:09:41
Tell me about the songs that
you've written yourself that you sing.
1:09:44
I don't claim to call them
folk songs or anything.
1:09:46
I just call them contemporary songs.
1:09:48
Come you ladies and you gentlemen,
a- listen to my song
1:09:50
Sing it to you right,
but you might think it's wrong
1:09:52
Just a little glimpse of a story I'll tell
1:09:54
'Bout an East Coast city
that you all know well
1:09:57
It's hard times from the country
1:09:59
