How does it feel
:45:10
How does it feel
:45:14
To be without a home
:45:19
Like a complete unknown
:45:23
Like a rolling stone
:45:31
Like a Rolling Stone
definitely broke through somewhere.

:45:33
I didn't feel like radio had ever played
a song like that before.

:45:37
I know I'd never heard
a song like that before.

:45:39
So...
:45:42
And everything I'd done up to that
point had led up to...

:45:45
writing a song like that, just effortlessly.
:45:47
Like a Rolling Stone originally had
about 50-some verses, as I recall.

:45:52
And people who think it's long now,
you know...

:45:55
should have had a look at it
when it was raw.

:45:58
I think he always made exactly the works
that he wanted to make...

:46:00
At the time he wanted to make it.
The audience came to Bob.

:46:04
And that's one of the things
that makes him so unique...

:46:07
in the history of American music,
is the audience came to Bob Dylan.

:46:11
I've never been that kind of performer...
:46:12
that wants to be one of them, you know,
like one of the crowd.

:46:18
I don't try to endear myself that way.
:46:20
Now, do performers look for applause?
Yeah, yes and no.

:46:25
It really depends
what kind of performer you are.

:46:27
Like the story of Billie Holiday, you know...
:46:30
when she sang Strange Fruit
for the first time, nobody applauded.

:46:34
You know, you could leave somebody
kind of in a spellbound way and...

:46:40
I don't know.
There's a lot of things going on...

:46:44
when there's a performer on stage
and there's an audience out there.
