1:06:05
Well, that's the way it goes, you know.
1:06:10
I can't apologize, certainly.
1:06:14
Do you feel that part of the popularity
is because of an identification...
1:06:18
of your audience with you or with...
1:06:21
what you're saying
or what you've been writing about?
1:06:23
I have no idea.
1:06:25
Mr. Dylan, you seem very reluctant
to talk about the fact...
1:06:28
that you're a popular entertainer,
and you're a most popular entertainer.
1:06:31
- What do you want me to say?
- Well, I don't understand why you...
1:06:33
Well, what do you want me to say about it?
1:06:37
Well, you seem almost embarrassed
to admit that you're... To talk about...
1:06:40
Well, I'm not embarrassed,
I mean, you know.
1:06:42
What do you want exactly for me to say?
1:06:44
Do you want me to jump up and say,
"Hallelujah" and crash the cameras...
1:06:47
and do something weird? Tell me.
1:06:50
I'll go along with you.
1:06:51
If I can't go along with you,
I'll find somebody to go along with you.
1:06:54
No, but I find that...
You really have no idea...
1:06:57
as to why,
or no thoughts on why you're popular?
1:06:59
- That's what interests me.
- I just have...
1:07:01
I haven't really struggled for that. I don't...
1:07:05
It happened, you know.
1:07:08
It happened like anything else happens.
1:07:12
How many people who labor...
1:07:14
in the same musical vineyard
in which you toil...
1:07:17
how many are protest singers?
1:07:19
That is, people who use their music
and use the songs...
1:07:24
to protest the social state
in which we live today.
1:07:28
The matter of war, the matter of crime,
or whatever it might be.
1:07:32
- How many?
- Yes.
1:07:34
- Are there many who...
- Yeah.
1:07:36
I think there's about 136.
1:07:40
- You say, "about 136"?
- Yeah.
1:07:44
Or do you mean exactly 136?
1:07:47
It's either 136 or 142.
1:07:50
At a certain point, people seemed to have
a distorted, warped view of me...
1:07:55
for some reason,
and those people were usually...
1:07:58
outside of the musical community.
