To this day it still affects me
in a profound way.

:05:04
I would like now to introduce
a young singer...

:05:08
from New York, Bob Dylan.
:05:15
I looked out the podium,
I looked out at the crowd...

:05:17
and I remember thinking to myself:
:05:18
"Man, I've never seen such a large crowd".
:05:21
Oh the time will come up
When the winds will stop

:05:25
And the breeze will cease to be breathing
:05:29
Like the stillness in the wind
Before the hurricane begins

:05:34
The hour that the ship comes in
:05:37
Free at last, free at last,
thank God Almighty.

:05:42
We are free at last.
:05:44
And the ship's wise men
Will remind you once again

:05:48
That the whole wide world is watching
:05:57
He would take individuals and infuse them
with life that you could understand.

:06:02
So even if he never considered himself
a protest singer, he was a protest singer.

:06:07
And he saw what was happening
all around him...

:06:10
and everybody else saw
what was happening all around them...

:06:13
but he voiced that for the first time.
:06:16
"Hard rain's gonna fall"
means something's going to happen.

:06:24
Oh, where have you been,
my blue-eyed son?

:06:31
And where have you been,
my darling young one?

:06:39
I've stumbled on the side
of 12 misty mountains

:06:46
I've walked and I've crawled
on six crooked highways

:06:54
I've stepped in the middle
of seven sad forests
