1:24:01
Well, they'll stone ya
when you're trying to be so good
1:24:06
They'll stone ya just a-like
they said they would
1:24:10
They'll stone ya
when you're tryin' to go home
1:24:15
They'll stone ya when you're there all alone
1:24:20
But I would not feel so all alone
1:24:25
Everybody must get stoned
1:24:28
Dylan's first albums did not sell.
1:24:32
I don't think we sold an album per store
in America. I think, 2,500.
1:24:36
Salespeople, you know, would say,
"This is Hammond's folly".
1:24:39
Since he cost so little to record,
let John have his folly.
1:24:43
On my second album, all of a sudden
people started to take notice...
1:24:46
that never noticed before.
1:24:48
Grossman came into the picture
around there.
1:24:50
He was kind of like
a Col. Tom Parker figure...
1:24:52
all immaculately dressed,
every time you see him.
1:24:55
You could smell him coming.
1:24:57
Al Grossman was
the first successful folk manager...
1:25:00
who knew how to make money
out of his singers.
1:25:02
He would own the recording studio...
1:25:04
he would own the music publishing
company, he would own Bob Dylan.
1:25:07
He would own Peter, Paul and Mary.
1:25:09
He would sell a Bob Dylan song
to Peter, Paul and Mary...
1:25:11
who would sing on a recording in his studio,
which he was getting the rights.
1:25:15
So he would get a salami...
He had a salami technique going.
1:25:18
He would get a piece of the action
from six or seven different directions.
1:25:21
He created Peter, Paul and Mary...
1:25:24
because he saw people really wanted
a fresh, young group like this...
1:25:29
that they could relate to.
1:25:30
He changed Paul's name to Paul, from Noel.
1:25:34
So it would have that biblical inference.
He was a genius.
1:25:38
I knew Mary Travers, you know,
of Peter, Paul and Mary.
1:25:40
I had known her when she was younger.
She used to sing in Washington Square Park.
1:25:44
And she was a nice person
and very lively teenager.
1:25:47
One time, in the middle of winter...
1:25:49
and it was cold on MacDougal Street,
you know, like February...
1:25:53
I saw her, and I says,
"Where have you been, Mary?"
1:25:56
She says, "Well, I've been in Florida
for the last couple of..."
1:25:59
I don't know if it was weeks or months.
