The music business per se
was dominated by music publishers.

1:28:13
In those days, the song was important.
You would pick a song and work on it.

1:28:25
Historically, whenever you see
Dylan mentioned in print...

1:28:27
it's always John Hammond
who discovered Bob Dylan.

1:28:31
I think the guy
who made Dylan popular was me...

1:28:34
if I say so myself.
1:28:36
I'm the one who started
to get his songs all over the place.

1:28:39
We never had resistance
within the company to him.

1:28:42
My boss, the old man, Herman Starr,
got on it right away.

1:28:45
Why? Because they smelled dollars,
that's why.

1:28:49
I gotta sing you something
to tell you something.

1:28:51
It's called Masters of War.
1:28:58
Come you masters of war
1:29:02
You that build the big guns
1:29:06
You that build the death planes
1:29:10
You that build all the bombs
1:29:14
You that hide behind walls
1:29:18
You that hide behind desks
1:29:22
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

1:29:28
And I hope that you die
1:29:31
And your death will come soon
1:29:35
I'll follow your casket
1:29:39
All the pale afternoon
1:29:43
And I'll watch while you're lowered
1:29:47
Down to your deathbed
1:29:51
And I'll stand over your grave
till I'm sure that you're dead

1:29:56
I did a concert of his in Town Hall.
It might have been '63.
