:33:00
Then a message came
that I was supposed to come in there.
:33:04
So I came into the room
and everybody was sitting there...
:33:07
totally stone-cold silent, frozen, paranoid.
:33:10
Not quite knowing my place, knowing Bob...
:33:13
I sat down on the side of his armchair.
:33:16
John Lennon said snidely,
"Why don't you sit a little closer?"
:33:20
I suddenly realized they were just so naive,
they were young.
:33:24
So I actually, I fell over laughing
on to John's lap...
:33:29
looking up at him and asked him,
"Do you ever read William Blake?"
:33:32
He said, "Never heard of him".
And his wife said, "Oh, John, stop lying".
:33:36
Then everybody began laughing,
and then the scene sort of broke up.
:33:38
You know, the ice was broken.
:33:41
It stuck me as funny
that these guys at the summit of power...
:33:44
spiritual power, musical power,
world fame...
:33:48
'65, May... June...
:33:50
were so unsure...
:33:53
of their minds and speech.
:34:03
It interested me just to watch Dylan.
:34:05
I could sort of see
that things that he did and said...
:34:09
were interesting to me.
:34:11
And I didn't know why, and so that got me
hooked on making a movie.
:34:15
- Do you really like that song?
- Yeah, it's fantastic.
:34:17
- What do you like about it?
- I just...
:34:19
I don't like any of the
Subterranean Homesick Blues.
:34:22
Oh, you're that kind of...
Okay, see, I understand right now.
:34:24
When we'd go into a town,
there would be no sign...
:34:29
and there would be people,
kind of, just hanging out at the steps...
:34:33
waiting for him to...
:34:35
And not waiting to crowd around
or see him or get his autograph.
:34:38
Just waiting for him.
:34:40
And it gave you a feeling that there
was some substance that you had to really...
:34:45
see through, that you weren't
going to find out about this quickly.
:34:48
But you had to kind of see it
the way they did.
:34:50
In the dime stores and bus stations
:34:55
People talk over situations
:34:58
Read books and repeat quotations
