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

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

1:30:00
And when the concert was over...
1:30:03
Bob called me over and he said:
1:30:06
"Is anybody in the stage door
waiting for me?"

1:30:10
The fact is that I do not blame
any artist for seeking fame...

1:30:15
which is in a sense, recognition.
1:30:17
You want to know
that you've pleased an audience...

1:30:20
you want to know that
the audience is interested in you.

1:30:23
He was, in his way, a dynamic performer.
1:30:27
But I think mostly the material
that he was doing was so great...

1:30:32
that everybody responded to it.
1:30:35
Oxford Town, Oxford Town
Everybody's got their heads bowed down

1:30:38
The sun don't shine above the ground
1:30:40
Ain't a-goin' down to Oxford Town
1:30:43
The topical song movement
was a product of the Left.

1:30:52
And the Left, at that time,
would have been Pete Seeger...

1:30:54
and the Weavers, and Woody Guthrie.
1:30:56
These people created material
based on topical situations.
