and Bob said something like:
"Hey, we ought to do Carnegie Hall...
:27:06
"or some big place like that".
:27:08
And I said,
"What are we going to do with it?"
:27:12
And... It was a pretty cold thing to say.
:27:15
But then we did talk about...
:27:18
you know, that he wanted to do his music
and I wanted to do all this other stuff...
:27:22
and he said he didn't want to do
all that other stuff...
:27:24
you know, so that was pretty clear.
:27:26
And yeah, I was disappointed.
:27:28
Oh my name it is nothing
:27:34
My age it means less
:27:38
I mean, he'd given us, by that point,
the greatest songs...
:27:42
in our anti-war, civil rights arsenals.
:27:45
Thirty-some years, whenever I go
to a march or a sit-in, or a lie-in...
:27:49
or a be-in, or a jail-in,
people'd say, "Is Bob coming?"
:27:53
I'd say, "He never comes, you moron!"
:27:56
You know, "When are you going to get it?
Never did, probably never will".
:28:02
And so I think he...
:28:04
I think he couldn't have written songs
like the ones he wrote...
:28:07
if he didn't feel generally,
I think, sort of, for the underdog.
:28:12
But I think that he didn't want to have
to be the guy people were going to go to.
:28:17
I mean, the times then were cut and dry.
:28:19
You were either for the war
or you were against it.
:28:21
You either hated niggers or, you know,
you supported King.
:28:26
And you were forced to take a side.
:28:36
Johnny's in a basement
Mixing up the medicine
:28:38
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
:28:41
The man in the trench coat
badge out, laid off
:28:44
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
:28:46
Look out kid
It's something you did
:28:49
God knows when
But you're doing it again
:28:51
You better duck down the alleyway
:28:53
Looking for a new friend
:28:54
The man in the coon-skin cap
In a pig pen
:28:56
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten
