1:00:03
You walk into the room
With your pencil in your hand

1:00:10
You see somebody naked
And you say, "Who is that man?"

1:00:15
I was just caught in this whirlwind of...
1:00:19
You know, of being tacked on to this music
that was going to be forever...

1:00:24
and being involved in it.
And knowing that it was going to be forever.

1:00:28
Because something is happening here
1:00:30
But you don't know what it is
1:00:35
The music actually changed by,
I think, the word is freedom.

1:00:38
Everything was changing.
It wasn't like four songs a session.

1:00:41
There wasn't any clock.
I took all the clocks down.

1:00:44
Nobody had a fucking clock in there.
1:00:46
It's just like, "Play some music".
"What about this thing? What about this?"

1:00:49
We're recording 86845. Number one.
1:00:52
Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood
1:00:56
With his memories in his trunk
1:01:02
Passed this way an hour ago
1:01:06
With his friend, a jealous monk
1:01:11
I believe in giving credit where credit's due.
1:01:15
I don't think Dylan had a lot to do with it.
1:01:17
I think God,
instead of touching him on the shoulder...

1:01:21
he kicked him in the ass. Really!
1:01:24
And that's where all that came from.
He can't help what he's doing.

1:01:28
I mean, he's got the Holy Spirit about him.
1:01:31
You can look at him and tell that.
1:01:42
Well, I ride a mailtrain, baby
1:01:45
Can't buy no thrill
1:01:48
It Takes a Lot to Laugh,
It Takes a Train to Cry.

1:01:51
In fact, there was two versions of that cut.
The first version...

1:01:54
which turned up on bootlegs,
it was like a fast...

1:01:56
It was a much faster
and much more jivey version...

1:01:59
that sounded kind of a lot
like the other things that had been done.
