of the Declaration of Independence

what America could mean to the world.

38
00:03:02,932 --> 00:03:07,896

Summer, 1975.

108
00:06:32,850 --> 00:06:34,811
It was a very odd scene in New York.

109
00:06:35,395 --> 00:06:38,731
Unusual. Sort of.
The folk era had died out. Or did it?

00:06:39,524 --> 00:06:40,900

I wanna introduce...

128
00:07:33,536 --> 00:07:35,371
Miss Patti Smith and Eric Anderson.

129
00:07:35,455 --> 00:07:36,831
Let's have a nice hand.

130
00:07:36,914 --> 00:07:39,167
-Let's hear it! Get up here!

131
00:07:39,250 --> 00:07:40,501
There was a...

132
00:07:41,961 --> 00:07:43,463
There was an archer...

133
00:07:44,672 --> 00:07:47,508
There was an archer who was in love
with his sister.

134
00:07:48,176 --> 00:07:50,094
So, the archer looked at his sister

135
00:07:50,636 --> 00:07:51,554
and he said,

136
00:07:53,306 --> 00:07:57,101
"All the madness
between me and you is real private."

137
00:07:58,186 --> 00:08:01,481
But the sister was too scared,
so the sister...

138
00:08:02,356 --> 00:08:06,444
the sister put down her cigarette
and she married the sultan.

139
00:08:07,236 --> 00:08:10,865
So the archer became a... the archer
for the king.

140
00:08:11,824 --> 00:08:14,952
So, it was the wedding night,
and the sultan and the sister

141
00:08:15,036 --> 00:08:16,454
were gonna get married.

142
00:08:16,913 --> 00:08:17,955
And so...

143
00:08:19,081 --> 00:08:22,126
the archer went out the door,
and he had on his armor,

144
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:24,712
and he was going. There was all, like...

145
00:08:24,837 --> 00:08:28,216
You know how like the gran-- ground was
in 16th-century Japan?

146
00:08:28,674 --> 00:08:30,760
It was black and green like a chessboard.

147
00:08:31,093 --> 00:08:34,555
So the archer was walking
on the black part of the chessboard,

148
00:08:34,805 --> 00:08:36,933
and he looked
at the black part of the chessboard,

149
00:08:37,016 --> 00:08:39,477
and it looked
like the back of his sister's hair.

150
00:08:39,644 --> 00:08:41,187
-And so...

151
00:08:41,979 --> 00:08:43,147
You know how it is.

152
00:08:43,439 --> 00:08:44,899
- Yeah.

153
00:08:44,982 --> 00:08:47,944
Anyway, it looked... Oh, what a mess.

154
00:08:48,361 --> 00:08:50,530
Looked like the back of his sister's hair,

155
00:08:50,655 --> 00:08:53,574
and so he couldn't advance
and be the king's archer no more,

156
00:08:53,658 --> 00:08:56,911
because he looked over at the palace,
and over at the palace,

157
00:08:57,036 --> 00:08:59,121
he saw his sister undressing

158
00:08:59,205 --> 00:09:00,164
for the sultan.

159
00:09:00,331 --> 00:09:03,709
So the prince took off a--
took off all his armor,

160
00:09:03,793 --> 00:09:06,170
and he started walking toward the palace.

161
00:09:06,254 --> 00:09:08,631
He started walking in another direction,

162
00:09:08,714 --> 00:09:11,259
started walking in another dimension,

163
00:09:11,342 --> 00:09:13,678

00:10:33,507 --> 00:10:35,843
Dylan might have some idea
to do something.

188
00:10:36,135 --> 00:10:38,429
Sort of like a... con man,

189
00:10:38,512 --> 00:10:40,598
carny medicine show of old,

190
00:10:40,723 --> 00:10:42,475
where you just get in a bus
and go from town--

191
00:10:42,558 --> 00:10:44,310
or a carriage, and go from town to town.

192
00:10:44,769 --> 00:10:49,690
It's like Dylan is taking us out to try
and give us each... He's presenting us.

193
00:10:49,857 --> 00:10:52,526
I mean, that's his conception.
I mean, it hasn't been made overt.

194
00:10:52,610 --> 00:10:54,528
His idea is, uh...

195
00:10:55,154 --> 00:10:57,365
to show how beautiful he is...

196
00:10:57,448 --> 00:10:59,825
...by showing how beautiful we are...

197
00:11:00,242 --> 00:11:01,827
by showing how beautiful...

198
00:11:03,454 --> 00:11:04,622
the ensemble is.

199
00:11:05,164 --> 00:11:07,583
So, it's to show the actual community.

200
00:11:08,250 --> 00:11:11,545
Which is way-- the way-- the way life is,
the way that life of poets is.

00:11:37,321 --> 00:11:38,864
I got this big audition.

213
00:11:39,448 --> 00:11:42,576
There was this party
at Allen Ginsberg's apartment.

214
00:11:42,660 --> 00:11:44,370
And that's where you met Dylan?

215
00:11:44,453 --> 00:11:45,413
Uh, yes.

216
00:11:46,247 --> 00:11:49,458
- What did you think of him?
-Uh, Dylan was fine.

217
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:52,420
There were all these crazy people,

218
00:11:52,503 --> 00:11:54,338
all getting high and coming up to him

219
00:11:54,422 --> 00:11:57,466
and spinning faster and faster,
and Bob didn't react.

220
00:11:57,717 --> 00:11:59,802
I think he just, uh,
watched the whole thing.

221
00:11:59,885 --> 00:12:01,470
I think he liked the chaos.

226
00:12:27,455 --> 00:12:30,082
My idea was
to have a kind of a jug band,

227
00:12:30,166 --> 00:12:31,584
uh, for the whole show,

228
00:12:32,126 --> 00:12:37,631
something, uh, along the lines
of maybe, uh, Kweskin Jug Band...

229
00:12:38,674 --> 00:12:39,592
but that didn't happen.

230
00:12:42,219 --> 00:12:45,556
They were in the middle
of the rehearsals at SIR Studio,

231
00:12:45,639 --> 00:12:50,060
and I talked to Levy, and he asked Dylan
if it was all right for me to shoot

232
00:12:50,144 --> 00:12:51,604
B-roll of the rehearsal.

233
00:12:52,062 --> 00:12:55,733
Dylan was all right with it,
but Levy told me there was no budget.

234
00:12:55,816 --> 00:12:58,611
Because I thought that this was really
going to go somewhere,

235
00:12:58,694 --> 00:13:00,112
I took all the money that I had,

236
00:13:00,196 --> 00:13:02,740
and I paid for everything
out of my own pocket.

237
00:13:05,034 --> 00:13:07,661
- Did Bob like you?
- I don't know, who knows?

238
00:13:07,745 --> 00:13:09,622
He was--
It was like looking into a mirror.

239
00:13:09,705 --> 00:13:11,499
You either saw what you wanted to see,

240
00:13:11,582 --> 00:13:13,083
or you hated what you saw.

241
00:13:13,584 --> 00:13:16,337
I can tell you this,
back then I used to smoke,

242
00:13:16,420 --> 00:13:18,214
and I held my cigarette like this,

243
00:13:18,297 --> 00:13:19,924
you know, the European style.

244
00:13:20,216 --> 00:13:23,928
After that night at Ginsberg's,
Bob started holding it like that, too.

245
00:13:24,220 --> 00:13:25,262

I was going
to a jazz musician friend of mine house

261
00:14:25,281 --> 00:14:26,615
in the Lower East Side,

262
00:14:26,991 --> 00:14:31,829
and I was just about to cross the street,
and a car cut me off.

263
00:14:33,122 --> 00:14:34,039
It was Bob.

264
00:14:34,456 --> 00:14:35,541
It was Dylan.

265
00:14:37,126 --> 00:14:38,043
And...

266
00:14:39,461 --> 00:14:40,838
It was never verbalized.

267
00:14:40,963 --> 00:14:43,257
I knew who he was, or he knew I knew.

268
00:14:43,424 --> 00:14:45,676
Just sort of passed, you know.

269
00:14:47,052 --> 00:14:50,431
We just played music all day
and all night.

270
00:14:50,598 --> 00:14:54,393
We went to The Bottom Line
and played with Muddy Waters,

271
00:14:54,810 --> 00:14:58,022
and we went that night
to Victoria Spivey's house.

272
00:14:58,606 --> 00:15:00,357
She's an old blues singer.

273
00:15:01,066 --> 00:15:01,901
And, um...

274
00:15:02,234 --> 00:15:06,405
we played music
till about six in the morning.

275
00:15:06,488 --> 00:15:07,740
It was really great.

00:15:07,865 --> 00:15:10,034

00:15:43,150 --> 00:15:44,902

00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:20,396
That's why I'm saying it's tricky
because it's not marriage, is it?

301

I mean, unless you actually make it--

302
00:16:22,022 --> 00:16:24,274
Well, I mean,
maybe marriage to the theater.

303
00:16:25,734 --> 00:16:26,860
But when you said marriage,

304
00:16:26,944 --> 00:16:29,780
I assumed you-- you meant marriage
between two people.

305
00:16:30,531 --> 00:16:31,365
-Yeah.
-Did you?

306
00:16:31,448 --> 00:16:32,825

I'm doing a-- a thing on a tour
for Rolling Stone magazine.

315
00:17:01,854 --> 00:17:02,938
- Yes.
- Okay?

316
00:17:03,022 --> 00:17:05,107
And-- And basically, I saw Bob leave,

317
00:17:05,566 --> 00:17:09,945
uh, after that... uh, um, the dialogue
you did with him, the marriage thing.

318
00:17:10,029 --> 00:17:10,904
Yes.

319
00:17:10,988 --> 00:17:14,616
And he said to one of the cameramen,
"That is hot. That was a hot scene."

320
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:16,452
-Okay.
-Oh, I'm really flattered. I'm touched.

I-- I-- I just wanna know,

322
00:17:19,163 --> 00:17:21,123
how did-- how did it happen?
I mean, was it set up?

323
00:17:21,206 --> 00:17:22,916
-It happened-- No.
-Was it a set up scene?

324
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,376
It was totally spontaneous.

325
00:17:24,752 --> 00:17:26,545
I was on my way to the bathroom...

326
00:17:26,712 --> 00:17:27,588
Yeah.

327
00:17:27,671 --> 00:17:31,759
...when, uh, on my way, uh,
Mel Howard introduced me to Bob Dylan.

328
00:17:31,925 --> 00:17:34,053
What-- What did you say?
And what was your point--

329
00:17:34,136 --> 00:17:36,013
-What did I say to--
-In the conversation to Bob?

330
00:17:36,096 --> 00:17:38,474
Well, it was a sort of free...

331
00:17:39,933 --> 00:17:41,977
-uh, going from one thing to another.
-Freewheeling?

332
00:17:42,061 --> 00:17:43,103
-Freewheeling.
-It wasn't--

333
00:17:43,187 --> 00:17:45,856
It wasn't meant to be specifically--
specifically that.

334
00:17:45,939 --> 00:17:47,649
Yeah, but you started talking
about marriage.

335
00:17:47,733 --> 00:17:48,901
Out of the blue,

336
00:17:48,984 --> 00:17:51,445
-the subject of marriage came up.

Was the idea to make
a behind-the-scenes film of the tour?

343
00:18:16,136 --> 00:18:18,097
I think that's
what they were expecting.

344
00:18:18,180 --> 00:18:20,891
They just thought that
I was going to make it a concert film,

345
00:18:20,974 --> 00:18:23,352
but I was trying to make something
really serious out of this.

346
00:18:23,936 --> 00:18:27,189
First, what I wanted to show was
musicians working together,

347
00:18:27,272 --> 00:18:28,524
making music together.

348
00:18:28,732 --> 00:18:30,234
That was them doing their job.

349
00:18:30,567 --> 00:18:31,777
That was, you know,

350
00:18:31,860 --> 00:18:34,988
that was as if I went to film my father
in his shoe store.

351
00:18:35,489 --> 00:18:36,448
Focus in on that.

352
00:18:37,616 --> 00:18:38,867
What is that, Patti?

353
00:18:38,951 --> 00:18:41,203
I seen th-- this Rimbaud book,

354
00:18:41,453 --> 00:18:43,163
and I saw this picture.

355
00:18:43,247 --> 00:18:45,916
I saw this vogue picture,
and I thought it looked like you,

356
00:18:45,999 --> 00:18:48,001
-and I thought he was a neat guy, y'know?
-Yeah?

357
00:18:48,085 --> 00:18:51,797
And I thought you were neat, so I used to,
like, pretend he was my boyfriend.

358
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,341
Or if-- Or if you were.
You know, it doesn't matter, right?

359
00:18:54,424 --> 00:18:55,259
So anyway...

360
00:18:55,342 --> 00:18:56,426
What did you say?

361
00:18:56,510 --> 00:18:57,761
-What did I say?
-Yeah.

362
00:18:57,970 --> 00:19:00,681
I gave my thoughts on...

363
00:19:00,764 --> 00:19:03,267
He spoke about mental marriage.

364
00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:04,977
-When he asked me--
-Mental marriage?

365
00:19:05,060 --> 00:19:06,979
Uh, Superman takes a piece of coal,

366
00:19:07,062 --> 00:19:09,648
and he puts it in his hand,
and he starts squeezing it,

367
00:19:09,731 --> 00:19:11,942
and squeezing it, and squeezing it,
and squeezing it,

368
00:19:12,025 --> 00:19:13,402
and then it becomes like a diamond.

369
00:19:13,485 --> 00:19:14,444
-It's real hard.
-Yeah.

370
00:19:14,528 --> 00:19:16,280
And then, like, he drops it
on the ground,

371
00:19:16,363 --> 00:19:17,614
-on the baseball diamond.
-Yeah.

372
00:19:17,698 --> 00:19:20,200
And the kids, the kids keep kicking it,
the kids keep kicking it.

373
00:19:20,284 --> 00:19:21,785
-Yeah.
-Then it goes round and round.

374
00:19:21,869 --> 00:19:23,871
And after years and years
of kids kicking it around,

375
00:19:23,954 --> 00:19:26,456
it gets smooth, but it's not...
It's just changed.

376
00:19:26,540 --> 00:19:29,418
It's still the same crystal,
but it's smooth, so it's a crystal ball.

377
00:19:29,501 --> 00:19:30,919
So it's sitting there in the middle,

378
00:19:31,003 --> 00:19:33,755
the crystal ball is sitting there
in the middle of the baseball diamond.

379
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:35,257
-Right.
-Okay? Now you can look in.

380
00:19:39,469 --> 00:19:41,889
I hated the ristelaars...

381
00:19:42,097 --> 00:19:44,141
the, you know, the-- the facilitators.

382
00:19:44,224 --> 00:19:46,518
You know,
the-- the people hanging around him.

383
00:19:46,727 --> 00:19:49,021
People pretending that they had access,

384
00:19:49,104 --> 00:19:50,772
so that they could behave badly.

385
00:19:51,064 --> 00:19:52,649
This film was going to show

386
00:19:52,733 --> 00:19:56,236
the counterpoint
between the... the excesses of the people

387
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,031
on the tour
and the dissolution of society.

388
00:19:59,281 --> 00:20:01,450
- Come on, everybody.
- Allen!

389
00:20:01,533 --> 00:20:03,911
I wanted to show
the land of Pet Rocks

390
00:20:03,994 --> 00:20:06,371
and Super Slurpees from 7-Eleven.

391
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:08,415
L'Amérique insolite.

392
00:20:09,499 --> 00:20:12,836
I would go on the road
with the Rolling Thunder Revue.

393
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,379
-Right here.

394
00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:17,341
- See you Thursday.

395
00:20:19,301 --> 00:20:22,804
This is a true story.
Actually, they're all true.

396
00:20:23,639 --> 00:20:26,350

Hi, Bob.

490
00:25:36,493 --> 00:25:39,162
-Hi, what you guys want? An interview?
- Sure.

491
00:25:39,246 --> 00:25:41,248
- Ah, wh--
- How was it, Bob?

492
00:25:41,748 --> 00:25:42,874
How was what?

493
00:25:44,334 --> 00:25:46,503
What did Bob say about the tour?

494
00:25:46,586 --> 00:25:48,713
I never asked him anything
because, you know,

495
00:25:48,797 --> 00:25:50,507
he wouldn't answer direct questions.

496
00:25:50,590 --> 00:25:52,425
Dylan, you're beautiful.

497
00:25:53,927 --> 00:25:56,263
- Bob!

498
00:25:57,639 --> 00:25:58,890
A legend is in town,

499
00:25:58,974 --> 00:26:01,518
and it's not just another...
rock 'n' roll show.

500
00:26:01,601 --> 00:26:03,853
I mean, it's rock 'n' roll,
but it's a special event.

501
00:26:03,937 --> 00:26:05,897
where rock 'n' roll
has four or five legends,

502
00:26:06,314 --> 00:26:09,234
this is one of them, and maybe
the biggest one at the present time.

503
00:26:18,952 --> 00:26:21,705
Not to brag,
but Rolling Thunder was kinda my idea,

504
00:26:21,788 --> 00:26:22,622
you know.

505
00:26:22,706 --> 00:26:24,958
Bob had done that tour with The Band
a few years back,

506
00:26:25,041 --> 00:26:26,918
and that was super successful,

507
00:26:27,002 --> 00:26:30,297
and then Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
were filling 50,000 seats a night.

508
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,633
And Zeppelin was huge.
I mean, there was money everywhere.

509
00:26:33,717 --> 00:26:36,344
You know, all you had to do
was bend down, pick it up.

510
00:26:36,636 --> 00:26:40,682
So, I had an idea that some kind of revue
with Bob would be a gold mine.

511
00:26:41,266 --> 00:26:42,976
So I went off and pitched the idea,

512
00:26:43,059 --> 00:26:45,145
and a bunch of local promoters
were interested.

513
00:26:45,645 --> 00:26:48,440
And then by the time I was done,
I ended up with 15 headliners.

514
00:26:50,817 --> 00:26:53,445
♪ I'm gonna have to go to college
'Cause you are... ♪

515
00:26:53,528 --> 00:26:55,488
Now you've asked for it!

516
00:26:56,072 --> 00:26:58,199
We took a big risk. And, uh, you know,

517
00:26:58,283 --> 00:27:01,578
you had to put up the money,
get everybody, you know, hotels, catering,

518
00:27:01,661 --> 00:27:03,371
cars, all this stuff, buses.

519
00:27:03,913 --> 00:27:07,542
And you had to keep all these guys happy
and, you know, focused.

520
00:27:07,709 --> 00:27:11,004
And so... And that was, you loaded up
before you went out on the road.

521
00:27:11,421 --> 00:27:14,174
Then you hope you got paid.
And you hope the show worked.

522
00:27:15,592 --> 00:27:17,594
Did you have any interaction with Bob?

523
00:27:17,677 --> 00:27:20,096
The only time I saw Bob
was when he was onstage

524
00:27:20,180 --> 00:27:21,306
or driving the bus.

525
00:27:21,514 --> 00:27:23,308
You know? Bob kept to himself.

526
00:27:23,850 --> 00:27:25,852
How did it become
"Rolling Thunder Revue"?

527
00:27:25,935 --> 00:27:28,271
Well, I asked Bob.
He said originally he was gonna call it

528
00:27:28,355 --> 00:27:29,522
Montezuma's Revue,

529
00:27:29,689 --> 00:27:30,982
but then he said he was home,

530
00:27:31,107 --> 00:27:34,110
and he was just kind of trying to think
of a name for the tour,

531
00:27:34,194 --> 00:27:36,613
when all of a sudden in the sky,
he heard, "Boom!"

532
00:27:36,696 --> 00:27:38,948
And then, from left to right,

533
00:27:39,074 --> 00:27:40,075
punctuating the sky,

534
00:27:40,241 --> 00:27:41,534
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

535
00:27:41,993 --> 00:27:44,579
So he said,
"Hey, let's call it 'Rolling Thunder.'"

536
00:27:44,663 --> 00:27:45,997
So before we even left,

537
00:27:46,206 --> 00:27:48,083
Chesley Millikin, who was on the tour,
says,

538
00:27:48,166 --> 00:27:50,460
"Bob, you know what 'rolling thunder'
means to the Indians?"

539
00:27:50,543 --> 00:27:53,588
And he goes, "What, man?"
And Chesley goes, "Speaking truth."

540
00:27:53,713 --> 00:27:56,299
And then Bob goes,
"I'm glad to hear that, man."

541
00:27:56,508 --> 00:27:59,260
Of course, later on we found out
that Rolling Thunder was actually

542
00:27:59,344 --> 00:28:02,180
the code name
for, uh, Nixon's bombing of Cambodia.

543
00:28:02,722 --> 00:28:06,518
And that Guam, the backup band,
was the base that, uh, they took off from.

544
00:28:06,601 --> 00:28:08,061
So, who knows what the real story is.

545
00:28:08,436 --> 00:28:11,564
This is the leaflet for a concert
they're having in town next week.

546
00:28:12,357 --> 00:28:15,276
Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Jack Elliott.

547
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:16,903
Right in the Civic Center.

548
00:28:16,986 --> 00:28:19,155
You know me,
I'm too old for that kind of stuff.

549
00:28:19,239 --> 00:28:20,365
Oh, well.

550
00:28:21,616 --> 00:28:22,742
-Okay.
- So...

551
00:28:22,826 --> 00:28:24,577
when did you first hear about Bob?

552
00:28:25,328 --> 00:28:28,289
This is like a... a...
It sounds like a fairy tale,

553
00:28:28,832 --> 00:28:31,292
but all... a lot of the...

554
00:28:31,459 --> 00:28:34,671
It doesn't happen continuously
for more than a few days at a time,

555
00:28:34,754 --> 00:28:36,589
but a lot of my life,

556
00:28:37,424 --> 00:28:39,968
I feel like I really am leading
a charmed life,

557
00:28:40,051 --> 00:28:44,139
because miracles start happening
in threes or fours.

558
00:28:44,389 --> 00:28:46,766
One thing I could tell you
about Ramblin' Jack,

559
00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:49,436
he's more of a sailor than a singer.

560
00:28:49,936 --> 00:28:54,149
He can tie a bowline, a clove hitch,
and he could tie a rolling hitch,

561
00:28:54,816 --> 00:28:55,942
all blindfolded.

562
00:28:56,025 --> 00:28:58,361
If you're ever on a boat or sailing ship,

563
00:28:59,904 --> 00:29:03,616
you would rather have Ramblin' Jack
there as a sailor than a singer.

564
00:29:04,117 --> 00:29:07,454
♪ Now, London is a fine town
For sailors ♪

565
00:29:08,288 --> 00:29:12,167
♪ California and back to France, so... ♪

566
00:29:12,250 --> 00:29:14,753
Which would you rather be,
the Pilgrims or the Indians?

567
00:29:14,836 --> 00:29:16,963
- Pilgrims.
- Why the Pilgrims?

568
00:29:17,464 --> 00:29:18,757
Why do you wanna be the Pilgrims?

569
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,217
'Cause the Pilgrims all land
and they turn into wax dolls,

570
00:29:21,301 --> 00:29:23,595
and they're wax dolls
for the rest of the universe.

571
00:29:23,678 --> 00:29:24,929
So the Indians.

572
00:29:25,054 --> 00:29:28,433
Well, you know, the Indians, that's true--
Well, we're all wax dolls, so...

573
00:29:29,017 --> 00:29:33,396
The first concert will take place
in Plymouth...

574
00:29:34,189 --> 00:29:38,193
Uh, where the, uh, Pilgrims stepped
off their Mayflower.

575
00:29:38,693 --> 00:29:40,570
We're... as if we're-- we're Pilgrims.

576
00:29:40,862 --> 00:29:42,697
Pilgrims in the sense of searchers,

577
00:29:43,239 --> 00:29:45,241
looking for the, uh, kingdom of a nation

578
00:29:45,992 --> 00:29:47,744
with maybe a different intention.

579
00:29:48,244 --> 00:29:49,871
Making America a kingdom of poetry,

580
00:29:49,954 --> 00:29:51,080
a nation of poetry.

581
00:30:05,136 --> 00:30:07,138
Well, look at this. Lookit.

582
00:30:07,388 --> 00:30:09,057
Have you ever heard of Bob Dylan?

583
00:30:09,140 --> 00:30:11,518
-Yeah.
-Yeah, I've heard of Bob Dylan, Joan Baez,

584
00:30:11,601 --> 00:30:12,435
Bob Neuwirth.

585
00:30:13,311 --> 00:30:16,731

Any idea why he would wear a mask?

Are you being funny?

611
00:32:09,552 --> 00:32:11,304
Well, it was kind of a leading question.

612
00:32:11,387 --> 00:32:13,765
Yeah, okay.
Well, get to the point.

613
00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:17,518
We didn't have enough masks on that tour.

614
00:32:19,354 --> 00:32:21,356
We should have had masks for everybody.

615
00:32:21,773 --> 00:32:23,483
When somebody's wearing a mask,

616
00:32:23,608 --> 00:32:25,610
uh, he's gonna tell you the truth.

617
00:32:26,402 --> 00:32:27,236
Uh...

618
00:32:27,612 --> 00:32:30,406

it's highly unlikely.

Their song "Venus" was
at the top of the charts.

624
00:32:51,427 --> 00:32:53,471
-Wow!
- And we needed more footage.

625
00:32:53,846 --> 00:32:55,932
And at the time, I liked psychedelics.

626
00:32:56,432 --> 00:32:58,977
Oh, LSD was my drug of choice.

627
00:32:59,310 --> 00:33:01,729
You know, it was trans-- transformative.

628
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,067
And I filmed a lot of newspeople
and things from the TV,

629
00:33:06,150 --> 00:33:09,070
like camera right on the TV,
like kinescoped,

630
00:33:09,153 --> 00:33:12,407
and I cut these serious things,
these speeches, with the rock 'n' roll.

631
00:33:12,615 --> 00:33:15,076
♪ A goddess on a mountaintop ♪

635
00:33:26,504 --> 00:33:28,506
You know, like, "bread and circus."

636
00:33:29,340 --> 00:33:31,676
I made an indictment of popular culture.

637
00:33:32,260 --> 00:33:35,138
I called it "Burning Like A Silver Flame."

638
00:33:35,930 --> 00:33:38,057
It played the local art film circuit,

639
00:33:38,516 --> 00:33:41,394
uh, and it started to have
a life of its own.

640
00:33:41,644 --> 00:33:44,522
Um, later, when I won
the Heinrich Greif Award,

641
00:33:44,605 --> 00:33:45,982
America came calling.

642
00:34:05,334 --> 00:34:06,377
Van Dorp,

643
00:34:06,753 --> 00:34:08,504
I hadn't even heard of him before,

644
00:34:09,422 --> 00:34:11,382
but, uh, he seemed like an okay guy.

645
00:34:11,549 --> 00:34:12,925
I liked his film history.

646
00:34:13,342 --> 00:34:17,597
He did some film work
at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum.

647
00:34:18,514 --> 00:34:21,517
His idea was to, uh, make this film...

648
00:34:22,226 --> 00:34:26,230
appear to be like old newsreels
we used to see at movie theaters...

649
00:34:26,898 --> 00:34:27,774
growing up,

650
00:34:28,691 --> 00:34:30,610
which I thought was a splendid idea.

651
00:34:32,028 --> 00:34:35,198
Van Dorp, I wanted to tell you something.

652
00:34:37,158 --> 00:34:41,954
I thought Sam would be perfect
for van Dorp to, uh, collaborate with,

653
00:34:42,538 --> 00:34:46,501
because Sam's got
that special knowledge of the underworld

654
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,379
that van Dorp didn't seem
to have a clue about.

655
00:34:51,798 --> 00:34:54,509
I think I asked him once,
"Sam, how you write all those plays?"

656
00:34:54,592 --> 00:34:55,551
And he said...

657
00:34:56,385 --> 00:34:57,553
"Man," he said,

658
00:34:59,222 --> 00:35:01,057
"it's like I commune with the dead."

659
00:35:02,975 --> 00:35:04,268
I said, "Yeah, yeah,

660
00:35:04,811 --> 00:35:08,231
uh, you'd have to
to write plays like that."

661
00:35:08,773 --> 00:35:11,651
And I asked him if he wanted to, uh,
write for, uh,

662
00:35:12,485 --> 00:35:15,029
this movie
that this guy van Dorp was making.

663
00:35:15,321 --> 00:35:20,576
And he went to meet with van Dorp,
and then he came back, and he said, uh...

664
00:35:20,952 --> 00:35:22,787
he didn't know where the guy
was coming from,

665
00:35:22,870 --> 00:35:25,081
but if I wanted him to do it, he would.

666
00:35:25,164 --> 00:35:27,583
So, that's how Sam got involved.

667
00:35:28,167 --> 00:35:30,419
I was living
in Homestead Valley, California,

668
00:35:31,045 --> 00:35:35,758
running a horse boarding farm.

669
00:35:36,801 --> 00:35:40,888
It was a little bit unclear
what-- what exactly he wanted me to do.

670
00:35:40,972 --> 00:35:44,100
I was like a screenwriter
or writer for hire, you know.

671
00:35:44,183 --> 00:35:46,561
So, sure. So, I joined up.

672
00:35:47,353 --> 00:35:50,898
I was just kind of there for the ride,
basically,

673
00:35:50,982 --> 00:35:52,859
and-- and as an observer

674
00:35:52,942 --> 00:35:57,238
and trying to make sense of something,
you know.

675
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,704
New England was just
experiencing the backbone

676
00:36:04,787 --> 00:36:06,789
of that economic fallout,

677
00:36:06,873 --> 00:36:10,376
you know, way back then,
it was, you know, desolate...

678
00:36:10,668 --> 00:36:13,838
Uh, really,
really difficult economic times, you know.

679
00:36:13,921 --> 00:36:17,341
People suffering behind that, you know.

680
00:36:18,426 --> 00:36:21,179
Rock 'n' roll was some kind of, a...

681
00:36:21,345 --> 00:36:23,181
I don't know, a kind of medicine
or something.

682
00:36:23,264 --> 00:36:25,057
Do you have tickets
for the concert?

683
00:36:25,141 --> 00:36:27,185
- Yeah.
- How come he's coming here?

684
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,896
I know, how come he picked
such a small place?

685
00:36:29,979 --> 00:36:32,773
Tickets are on sale at the collis--
the little Plymouth auditorium.

686
00:36:35,401 --> 00:36:37,737
Wasn't that the year
of the bicentennial, also?

687
00:36:38,196 --> 00:36:39,697
The bicentennial,

688
00:36:39,822 --> 00:36:41,490
particularly in the little towns,
you know,

689
00:36:41,574 --> 00:36:43,034
they didn't give a shit, you know.

690
00:36:43,159 --> 00:36:45,453
"What is the bicen--"
You know what I mean?

691
00:36:45,536 --> 00:36:49,123
They-- They certainly weren't celebrating
the-- the birth of America. You know?

692
00:36:49,457 --> 00:36:52,043
- We love you, Bobby!

00:37:38,547 --> 00:37:40,049
a dog and pony show sort of thing.

704
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,885
It's the first song
I ever heard Woody Guthrie sing

705
00:37:42,969 --> 00:37:44,470
on a little radio station.

706
00:37:45,638 --> 00:37:47,056
He was telling a story...

707
00:37:49,267 --> 00:37:52,436
about traveling across the country
on freight trains,

708
00:37:52,812 --> 00:37:54,480
and he had a fiddle with him...

709
00:37:56,399 --> 00:37:58,317
in a violin case.

710
00:37:59,819 --> 00:38:01,654
Every time the train would stop,

711
00:38:02,738 --> 00:38:06,784
police would come on and look through,
they'd see him with that violin case...

712
00:38:09,412 --> 00:38:10,538
make him open it up,

713
00:38:12,248 --> 00:38:13,374
and look inside.

714
00:38:14,208 --> 00:38:15,960
They was looking for an outlaw...

715
00:38:17,044 --> 00:38:18,754
named Pretty Boy Floyd,

716
00:38:19,505 --> 00:38:23,050

00:38:51,037 --> 00:38:53,456
I do recall sort of looking over,

721
00:38:53,539 --> 00:38:57,168
from a distance, Jack Elliott's shoulder
as he did his solo set.

722
00:38:58,210 --> 00:39:00,379
You know, that was something
so new to me, and...

723
00:39:01,589 --> 00:39:02,757
gee, it seemed so authentic,

724
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:07,511
I had no idea he was, you know,
a Jewish dentist's son from Brooklyn.

725
00:39:07,845 --> 00:39:10,806
You know, you could've knocked me over
with a feather when I found that out.

726
00:39:10,931 --> 00:39:13,142
Ramblin' Jack!
Take a bow, Jack.

727
00:39:16,103 --> 00:39:18,105
I got another friend
for you to meet now.

728
00:39:29,367 --> 00:39:32,536
They-- They had an entity
about them, you know.

729
00:39:32,912 --> 00:39:34,497
It wasn't stardom.

730
00:39:34,580 --> 00:39:35,915
It wasn't people were looking at,

731
00:39:35,998 --> 00:39:37,792
"Oh, there's Dylan and there's Joan Baez."

732
00:39:37,875 --> 00:39:39,585
No, they were looking at a band.

Once again, good night
on behalf of the Rolling Thunder Revue.

738
00:39:59,647 --> 00:40:01,899
We thank you for coming. Good night.
Go in peace.

739
00:40:27,133 --> 00:40:28,884
And particularly
with those songs

740
00:40:28,968 --> 00:40:32,847
that had this kind of saga element
about 'em, you know,

741
00:40:32,930 --> 00:40:37,101
it had a rejuvenating effect, I think,
you know, it was very exhilarating.

742
00:40:37,268 --> 00:40:42,773
It was a feeling of exhilaration,
of-- of-- of being alive.

743
00:40:43,107 --> 00:40:45,943
It... That sounds corny, but it's true,
you know.

744
00:40:47,278 --> 00:40:48,821
Take, uh, Shakespeare, Will.

745
00:40:48,904 --> 00:40:52,158
He grew up
in, uh, uh, Stratford-on-Avon,

746
00:40:52,241 --> 00:40:54,702
you know, where the...
where these rivers cross,

747
00:40:54,785 --> 00:40:57,872
and it was on the way outskirts of London.

748
00:40:58,330 --> 00:41:01,208
And these troubadours and vagabonds

749
00:41:01,292 --> 00:41:07,131
and carnival people from all over
were coming into London to perform.

750
00:41:07,506 --> 00:41:10,426
And they would stop at this crossroads
of these rivers.

751
00:41:10,509 --> 00:41:15,139
And as a kid, he's seeing this,
and then he writes those fucking plays.

752
00:41:15,473 --> 00:41:17,183
You know?

753
00:41:18,517 --> 00:41:20,436
That's... extraordinary.

754
00:41:20,728 --> 00:41:23,564
You know,
that somebody is charged up like that

755
00:41:23,647 --> 00:41:26,692
from something passing
through their lives, you know.

756
00:41:26,942 --> 00:41:29,445

-You got a minute?

835
00:46:54,603 --> 00:46:56,605
I gotta do a story in an hour,

836
00:46:56,688 --> 00:46:59,107
and I just need
about two or three paragraphs.

837
00:47:00,108 --> 00:47:01,276
- Okay.
-Are you up?

838
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:02,611
Yeah, sort of.

839
00:47:08,075 --> 00:47:10,702

just talk about the music, okay?

841
00:47:12,079 --> 00:47:14,164

00:47:14,248 --> 00:47:16,542
I've never seen you so loose. How come?

843
00:47:17,543 --> 00:47:20,712
Jesus Christ, you really got me
early in the morning, I can't even think.

of that, only musically.

was coming to Providence,

858
00:47:48,198 --> 00:47:51,034
you probably wouldn't believe them,
but he is, along with Joan Baez,

859
00:47:51,118 --> 00:47:53,203
Ramblin' Jack Elliott, and Bob Neuwirth,

860
00:47:53,745 --> 00:47:58,083

at the Providence Civic Center, Tuesday...

861
00:47:58,500 --> 00:48:00,002
You'd book the venues,

862
00:48:00,085 --> 00:48:02,421
make deals with each
of the local promoters,

863
00:48:02,713 --> 00:48:04,464
and then you'd show up.

864
00:48:04,882 --> 00:48:07,092
And, you know,
you'd have a deal for the gate.

865
00:48:07,175 --> 00:48:08,427
And, you know,

866
00:48:08,510 --> 00:48:10,512
hopefully everything would go out,
would go well,

867
00:48:10,596 --> 00:48:12,014
and everybody'd make a little money.

868
00:48:12,097 --> 00:48:14,308
Hey, man, it wasn't your door
and you weren't invited.

869
00:48:14,391 --> 00:48:17,102
-Hey, don't yell at me, all right?
-Oh, I am yelling at ya.

870
00:48:17,185 --> 00:48:18,979
- Okay.
-Go get your cop,

871
00:48:19,062 --> 00:48:20,647
-so you can get some fuckin' help.
-Okay.

872
00:48:20,731 --> 00:48:23,483
The overall promoter
was a longtime friend of Bob's

873
00:48:23,567 --> 00:48:24,484
and a fishmonger.

874
00:48:24,568 --> 00:48:26,486
I mean, he never had managed
a tour before,

875
00:48:26,570 --> 00:48:27,821
let alone one of this size.

876
00:48:28,363 --> 00:48:30,324
It's bad for your, uh,
high blood pressure.

877
00:48:30,407 --> 00:48:32,492
-Yeah, okay.
-Bad for your high blood pressure.

878
00:48:32,576 --> 00:48:34,703
-Read him some poetry, Allen.
-Anything you wanna say...

879
00:48:34,786 --> 00:48:36,830
So he was out of his element
and underprepared,

880
00:48:36,914 --> 00:48:38,332
and he wasn't very well-liked on the tour.

881
00:48:38,874 --> 00:48:42,127
Then tell him the ushers left.
Tell him-- Tell him we're framing it.

882
00:48:42,419 --> 00:48:43,921
- Hi, Barry.
-Nice.

883
00:48:45,631 --> 00:48:48,300
This guy, Barry Imhoff,
was his second-in-command,

884
00:48:48,383 --> 00:48:50,093
and he'd worked for Bill Graham for years,

885
00:48:50,177 --> 00:48:52,095
but just prior to Rolling Thunder

886
00:48:52,179 --> 00:48:54,598
had got out on his own
and started Zebra Productions.

887
00:48:54,681 --> 00:48:58,268
And this was one of, you know,
if not exactly, his first tour.

888
00:48:58,352 --> 00:49:00,395
What kind of jobs
would the promoter do?

889
00:49:00,479 --> 00:49:02,773
I did whatever needed to get done.

890
00:49:03,023 --> 00:49:05,525
So one day, you're delivering pizza
to the band,

891
00:49:05,817 --> 00:49:06,777
and the next day,

892
00:49:06,860 --> 00:49:09,237
I'm... got a bag full of $15,000,

893
00:49:09,321 --> 00:49:11,740
and I'm walking through a parking lot
looking over my shoulder,

894
00:49:11,823 --> 00:49:14,076
thinking everybody knows
exactly what I'm doing.

895
00:49:14,284 --> 00:49:17,329
Well, you did what you had to do.
Some things we don't talk about.

896
00:49:21,208 --> 00:49:24,044
My mom wanted to go see this tour.

897
00:49:24,628 --> 00:49:28,840
Now, you know, nobody wants
to go to a concert with their mom.

898
00:49:29,341 --> 00:49:32,177
Especially when they're 19 years old.

899
00:49:32,844 --> 00:49:36,682
So, rebelliously,
I-- I wore a Kiss T-shirt.

900
00:49:37,432 --> 00:49:40,560
So, I don't know which one of us
was more embarrassed,

901
00:49:40,644 --> 00:49:42,646
whether it was me or my mom.

902
00:49:42,729 --> 00:49:44,648
And we went to this concert.

903
00:49:45,148 --> 00:49:46,608
We're trying to get in,

904
00:49:47,150 --> 00:49:49,069
and the guy's giving us
kind of a hard time

905
00:49:49,152 --> 00:49:52,239
and looking at our tickets and the thing,
and we can't get in...

906
00:49:52,364 --> 00:49:55,075
And then, this guy comes walking up,

907
00:49:56,243 --> 00:49:58,829
and he doesn't have tickets,
and he tries to get in.

908
00:49:58,912 --> 00:50:00,664
And the cop at the door
is not letting him in,

909
00:50:00,747 --> 00:50:01,957
and not letting him in.

910
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,376
And so, finally, like, a bunch of people
come out,

911
00:50:04,459 --> 00:50:07,212
and they get Bob,
and Bob turns around and he's like...

912
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,466
And I'm just like this...
And my mom's like, "Come on."

913
00:50:11,550 --> 00:50:13,343
And I don't wanna, "come on,"

914
00:50:13,635 --> 00:50:17,431
but my mother pushes us through,
and so we go in with Bob, and, um...

915
00:50:17,848 --> 00:50:19,891
Bob turned around and he saw my shirt,

916
00:50:20,726 --> 00:50:21,768
and he was like,

917
00:50:22,561 --> 00:50:23,603
"Do you like them?"

918
00:50:23,979 --> 00:50:26,398
And then I realized he wanted
to talk about Kiss.

919
00:50:26,565 --> 00:50:29,860
I think I was trying to--
to sound like I was...

920
00:50:30,694 --> 00:50:32,738
smart, and so I started saying,

921
00:50:32,821 --> 00:50:37,617
"Well, you know, I think that they paint
their faces in this Kabuki style."

922
00:50:37,993 --> 00:50:38,827
And he said,

923
00:50:38,910 --> 00:50:43,248
"Oh, I bet Okuni never spit blood
into the audience."

924
00:50:43,540 --> 00:50:46,084
And I was like, "Okuni?"

925
00:50:46,418 --> 00:50:48,837
And he's like, "Izumo no Okuni."

926
00:50:49,296 --> 00:50:50,672
Oh, and that's, you know,

927
00:50:50,756 --> 00:50:53,008
it's one of the guys who started,
uh, Kabuki.

928
00:50:53,300 --> 00:50:54,134

Scarlet Rivera was some piece of work.

938
00:51:18,116 --> 00:51:21,369
Most people'd kind of stay away
from Scarlet, but, uh, not me.

939
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:26,750
Her boyfriend at the time
was the leader of Kiss.

940
00:51:28,085 --> 00:51:30,170
And she took me over to Queens
to see them play.

941
00:51:31,088 --> 00:51:34,007
They were playing in a small club.
They had face paint on,

942
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:35,967
and I thought that was
kind of interesting.

943
00:51:37,302 --> 00:51:39,096
I kind of filed that away somewhere.

944
00:51:39,429 --> 00:51:41,014
Clap your hands!

♪ I wanna rock and roll all night ♪

946
00:51:50,065 --> 00:51:53,860
Yeah, I remember a lot of things.
They-- They said I had a wonderful time.

947
00:51:53,944 --> 00:51:56,238
I think I did.

948
00:51:56,655 --> 00:51:58,824
They said every time
we used to do any interviews,

949
00:51:58,907 --> 00:52:02,160
all they wanted to know was,
"Ronnie, we wanna hear about the orgies."

950
00:52:02,327 --> 00:52:03,370
I said, "Orgies?"

951
00:52:03,453 --> 00:52:06,164
I said, "God damn, we never had
any orgies. That sounds nasty as hell."

952
00:52:06,248 --> 00:52:10,752
I said, "We might have had 14 or 15 people
in love a time or two, but no orgies."

953
00:52:12,546 --> 00:52:13,505
Look who's here.

954
00:52:14,172 --> 00:52:15,006
Yo, man.

955
00:52:15,549 --> 00:52:17,592
Well, Ronnie Hawkins, now,

956
00:52:17,676 --> 00:52:21,429
he looked like a shitkicker,
but he spoke with the wisdom of a sage.

957
00:52:22,556 --> 00:52:23,515
He was like a...

958
00:52:24,724 --> 00:52:25,642
a...

959
00:52:27,102 --> 00:52:28,395
gladiator or something...

960
00:52:29,020 --> 00:52:30,605
that wrestled and raced

961
00:52:30,689 --> 00:52:33,900
in, uh, in--
in some nondescript Roman arena.

962
00:52:34,276 --> 00:52:35,110
Uh...

963
00:52:35,193 --> 00:52:38,071
you expected Ronnie to, uh,
to wear a toga...

964
00:52:40,699 --> 00:52:42,367
instead of that ratty cowboy hat.

965
00:52:43,493 --> 00:52:45,787
- Remember Scarlet Rivera?
- Oh, yeah.

966
00:52:45,871 --> 00:52:47,998
She fell in love with my rhythm man

967
00:52:48,081 --> 00:52:49,541
from my band, Scarlet did.

968
00:52:50,500 --> 00:52:54,087
Yeah, they put on some interesting shows
there, up there in my room.

969
00:52:57,424 --> 00:52:59,843
I think I narrated a couple of 'em.
I'm not sure.

970
00:53:00,343 --> 00:53:03,054
But, uh, yeah, she was something else...
wore a sword.

971
00:53:03,847 --> 00:53:05,682
She had--
She wore a sword everywhere she went,

972
00:53:05,765 --> 00:53:06,808
that girl, so I didn't...

973
00:53:06,892 --> 00:53:09,728
I was a little bit uneasy
about trying to slip her out,

974
00:53:10,145 --> 00:53:12,939
'cause, boy, if you didn't satisfy her,
she's liable to stab you.

975
00:53:16,401 --> 00:53:17,652
She was unusual.

976
00:53:17,736 --> 00:53:20,572
I went to her room once,
and there was a box of stuff.

977
00:53:21,156 --> 00:53:24,701
Like, chains and mirrors...

978
00:53:25,535 --> 00:53:26,661
candelabras and...

979
00:53:27,996 --> 00:53:29,164
She had swords.

980
00:53:29,831 --> 00:53:30,832
She had a snake.

981
00:53:31,499 --> 00:53:32,375
Just, uh...

982
00:53:32,876 --> 00:53:35,670
many things in... in a trunk.

983
00:53:37,130 --> 00:53:40,800
And, uh, that told me more about her
than anything she had to say.

984
00:53:44,304 --> 00:53:45,639
She didn't say much.

985
00:53:47,515 --> 00:53:48,892
But she didn't have to.

986
00:53:51,353 --> 00:53:55,398
- What's that?
- This? This is my friend.

987
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,445
He keeps me company while I play.

988
00:54:00,946 --> 00:54:03,573
He's playing the dance beyond his limits.

989
00:54:05,325 --> 00:54:07,827
Something that most people
would say is impossible.

990
00:54:09,162 --> 00:54:13,375
But artists like to challenge
the impossible, I guess.

991
00:54:14,292 --> 00:54:17,045
That's why we wear
the makeup we wear, I guess, too.

992
00:54:19,506 --> 00:54:21,883
It's a striking image
you have onstage.

993
00:54:24,094 --> 00:54:26,596
Mr. Tambourine Man gives us
the opportunity

994
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:29,307
to be whoever we wish to be.

995
00:54:45,699 --> 00:54:49,035
This, uh, young, beautiful,
young lady over here is Scarlet.

996
00:54:49,119 --> 00:54:50,287
She plays with us, too.

997
00:55:09,639 --> 00:55:14,436
I'd been at the high holy gypsy holiday
at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer,

998
00:55:14,519 --> 00:55:15,353
South of France.

999
00:55:20,442 --> 00:55:23,778
It happens to be on my birthday,
so it was like going home.

1000
00:55:41,421 --> 00:55:43,006
Manitas de Plata was there,

1001
00:55:43,089 --> 00:55:45,467
and he played all night
along the campfire.

1002
00:55:46,426 --> 00:55:48,219
I mean, he was fantastic.

1003
00:55:49,054 --> 00:55:53,350
And, uh, I stayed up till dawn
just listening to him play.

1004
00:56:31,137 --> 00:56:33,932
Some time after that,
couldn't have been more than a week,

1005
00:56:34,474 --> 00:56:37,435

Are you used
to going to rock shows?

1040
01:00:08,021 --> 01:00:10,481
No, it's one of the very few I've seen.

1041
01:00:12,233 --> 01:00:16,195
I finally realized, after last night,
I've been missing an awful lot.

1042
01:00:17,530 --> 01:00:19,490
I thought it was
the most unusual occurrence.

1043
01:00:19,574 --> 01:00:21,826
I never-- I never noticed...

1044
01:00:22,577 --> 01:00:24,746
as a-- as a part of an audience,

1045
01:00:26,414 --> 01:00:27,957
I never paid attention to a...

1046
01:00:29,751 --> 01:00:32,837
to a response between an audience
and people on the stage,

1047
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:34,172
performers onstage.

1048
01:00:34,922 --> 01:00:38,176
That, to me,
was like a show all by itself.

1049
01:00:39,177 --> 01:00:41,804
It was like one battery charging another.

1050
01:00:45,308 --> 01:00:46,309
And...

1051
01:00:47,143 --> 01:00:50,521
you not only could feel the vibes,
you could-- you could almost see them.

1052
01:00:52,774 --> 01:00:53,816
There was a...

1053
01:00:55,860 --> 01:00:58,571
a love affair between the performers
and the audience.

1054
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,204
Uh, I was thinking about the forces

1055
01:01:06,287 --> 01:01:07,580
that draw people together.

1056
01:01:08,039 --> 01:01:14,295
The magnetism that makes the unit
that's now formed as Rolling Thunder.

1057
01:01:14,837 --> 01:01:15,713
And, uh...

1058
01:01:16,047 --> 01:01:18,716
to me, the future already exists.

1059
01:01:20,009 --> 01:01:22,553
For some people, maybe for everyone.

1060
01:01:25,348 --> 01:01:28,976
It's just a matter
of tuning yourself to it.

1061
01:01:34,065 --> 01:01:38,778
"I saw the best minds
of my generation destroyed by madness,

1062
01:01:39,112 --> 01:01:41,698
starving hysterical naked,

1063
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,535
dragging themselves
through the negro streets at dawn

1064
01:01:45,618 --> 01:01:47,745
looking for an angry fix..."

1065
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:51,457
Allen Ginsberg was a saintlike figure.

1066
01:01:52,208 --> 01:01:55,211
It was like having a...
kinda like a father figure.

1067
01:01:55,294 --> 01:01:56,587
He was always very sober.

1068
01:01:58,005 --> 01:02:01,217
No, Allen Ginsberg
was anything but a father figure.

1069
01:02:02,635 --> 01:02:04,679
He was definitely not a father figure.

1070
01:02:05,221 --> 01:02:06,472
Allen Ginsberg,

1071
01:02:06,556 --> 01:02:10,184
a guy I really-- I really miss,
of the ones that are gone.

1072
01:02:10,685 --> 01:02:13,855
We became very friendly,
I mean, you know, he-- he...

1073
01:02:14,147 --> 01:02:17,775
I wasn't a bad-looking, you know,
little 19-year-old at the time,

1074
01:02:17,859 --> 01:02:20,403
and he had a thing for straight,

1075
01:02:20,611 --> 01:02:21,571
talented...

1076
01:02:22,488 --> 01:02:23,364
um...

1077
01:02:23,990 --> 01:02:25,616
teenage boys.

1078
01:02:25,700 --> 01:02:27,744
So, that probably added to it, I suppose.

1079
01:02:34,500 --> 01:02:36,627
One thing people
don't know about Ginsberg

1080
01:02:36,711 --> 01:02:38,337
is that he was an incredible dancer.

1081
01:02:38,421 --> 01:02:39,797
Um... who...

1082
01:02:39,881 --> 01:02:44,677
he would just do these steps
that were so unusual and exciting.

1083
01:02:44,761 --> 01:02:47,388
You know, and he'd always have
a good dance partner, too.

1084
01:02:47,472 --> 01:02:51,434
Uh, usually somebody from the tour,
somebody we'd pick up along the way.

1085
01:02:51,768 --> 01:02:54,187
Uh... He danced a lot, Ginsberg.

1086
01:02:56,856 --> 01:02:59,609
"& shaman
he swings a skinny leg to the sky

1087
01:02:59,692 --> 01:03:01,861
& shaman
he desires you be there watching

1088
01:03:01,944 --> 01:03:03,696
shaman don't care about eating now

1089
01:03:03,821 --> 01:03:06,240
he's got his paint on he's ready for jive

1090
01:03:06,574 --> 01:03:08,993
& shaman's going to sway
& gesture in space

1091
01:03:09,076 --> 01:03:12,371
& shaman's shouting yeah for you
& singing your sorrow

1092
01:03:12,455 --> 01:03:14,248
shaman's not faithful except to you

1093
01:03:14,332 --> 01:03:16,334
shaman does it for you you know all this

1094
01:03:16,417 --> 01:03:18,753
shaman's got his eyes on the violin."

1095
01:03:21,380 --> 01:03:23,925
There was this yearning,
Allen's yearning,

1096
01:03:24,509 --> 01:03:26,093
to either be Bob or...

1097
01:03:27,094 --> 01:03:29,013
have Bob love him more.

1098
01:03:29,096 --> 01:03:31,015
And I remember Bob saying,

1099
01:03:31,098 --> 01:03:33,226
"Just go out and sing
on the street corners."

1100
01:03:33,309 --> 01:03:34,811
So Allen was essentially doing that.

1101
01:03:35,144 --> 01:03:37,021
♪ Ah... ♪

1102
01:03:37,104 --> 01:03:40,775
Seeing Ginsberg was
like going to see the Oracle of Delphi.

1103
01:03:41,234 --> 01:03:44,195
He didn't care about material wealth
or political power.

1104
01:03:44,779 --> 01:03:46,447
He was his own kind of king.

1105
01:03:48,157 --> 01:03:50,409
But... he wanted to play music.

1106
01:03:52,870 --> 01:03:55,206
He had already achieved
what any national poet

1107
01:03:55,289 --> 01:03:56,541
could hope to achieve.

1108
01:03:56,624 --> 01:03:59,919
"I saw the best minds of my generation
destroyed by madness."

1109
01:04:00,586 --> 01:04:02,129
Very few poets have done that.

1110
01:04:02,964 --> 01:04:04,215
Robert Frost, maybe.

1111
01:04:04,841 --> 01:04:07,301
"Promises to keep,
miles to go before I sleep."

1112
01:04:07,802 --> 01:04:10,221
Whitman said,
"I am large, I contain multitudes."

1113
01:04:10,304 --> 01:04:12,139
We still remember those lines today.

1114
01:04:13,140 --> 01:04:16,394
Today's poets don't reach
into the public consciousness that way.

1115
01:04:17,395 --> 01:04:20,523
So it was remarkable
that Allen had actually broken through.

1116
01:04:21,274 --> 01:04:25,736
Nowadays, lines that people remember
are lines from songs, lyrics from songs...

1117
01:04:27,071 --> 01:04:29,115
"Your cheatin' heart will make you weep."

1118
01:04:29,198 --> 01:04:32,034
"Don't change your hair for me,
not if you care for me."

1119
01:04:32,827 --> 01:04:35,580
"I'm in the mood for love."
"What a difference a day makes."

1120
01:04:35,663 --> 01:04:36,706
"Ain't misbehavin'."

1121
01:04:37,039 --> 01:04:40,459
Allen wanted his lines
to be remembered like that,

1122
01:04:41,085 --> 01:04:42,753
but he was a poet.

1123
01:04:43,504 --> 01:04:44,881
He wasn't a songwriter.

1124
01:04:46,841 --> 01:04:50,803
By 1970 through 1975,

1125
01:04:50,970 --> 01:04:54,599
all of the, uh, heroes of song and poetry

1126
01:04:55,558 --> 01:04:57,059
were out on their own,

1127
01:04:57,560 --> 01:04:58,477
uh...

1128
01:04:59,854 --> 01:05:01,522
in the solitude...

1129
01:05:02,481 --> 01:05:03,357
doing their art.

1130
01:05:05,234 --> 01:05:08,029
The people that were going to die
or drink themselves to death,

1131
01:05:08,112 --> 01:05:10,531
as many great artists did,
or get strung out...

1132
01:05:11,198 --> 01:05:15,161
uh, went down to... uh...

1133
01:05:16,162 --> 01:05:18,789
She'ol, as Kerouac did,

1134
01:05:19,373 --> 01:05:22,627
105 miles from this ocean,
buried in Lowell.

1135
01:05:23,711 --> 01:05:26,797
But that's where I got all my poetry,
out of Mexico City Blues.

1136
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:28,799
You ever read this?

1137
01:05:29,050 --> 01:05:30,384
-Sure.
-This book...

1138
01:05:30,843 --> 01:05:33,387
-This is my favorite.
-Yeah, I-- I read this. Uh...

1139
01:05:34,764 --> 01:05:37,433
My good friend Dave Whitaker
gave me a copy of this book.

1140
01:05:37,516 --> 01:05:40,853
-When?
-Uh, in Minneapolis in 1959.

1141
01:05:40,937 --> 01:05:41,771
Uh-huh.

1142
01:05:42,438 --> 01:05:45,608
I remember when David gave me this book,
it just blew a hole in my mind.

1143
01:05:45,942 --> 01:05:46,776
Really?

1144
01:05:47,777 --> 01:05:50,071
Yeah.
"What's been buried in the grave?

1145
01:05:50,154 --> 01:05:50,988
Dust.

1146
01:05:51,155 --> 01:05:52,281
-Perfect--"
-"Perfect dust."

1147
01:05:52,365 --> 01:05:54,659
"Perfect dust in time."

1148
01:05:55,409 --> 01:05:57,036
He wrote a lot about being dead.

1149
01:05:58,204 --> 01:06:00,790
"Once I went to a movie
At midnight, 1940,

1150
01:06:00,873 --> 01:06:02,375
Mice and Men, the name of it.

1151
01:06:02,458 --> 01:06:05,419
The Red Block Boxcars
Rolling by (on the Screen)

1152
01:06:05,878 --> 01:06:06,712
Yessir

1153
01:06:06,796 --> 01:06:08,673
life finally gets tired of living -

1154
01:06:09,215 --> 01:06:11,759
On both occasions I had wild
Face looking into lights

1155
01:06:11,842 --> 01:06:13,219
Of streets where phantoms

1156
01:06:13,302 --> 01:06:16,180
Hastened out of sight
Into Memorial cello time."

1157
01:06:16,263 --> 01:06:17,848
- Oh, yeah.

1158
01:06:17,932 --> 01:06:20,267
Here's one.
"Dead and don't know it,

1159
01:06:20,351 --> 01:06:21,394
Living and do.

1160
01:06:21,811 --> 01:06:23,562
The living have a dead idea.

1161
01:06:24,105 --> 01:06:25,856
A person is a living idea;

1162
01:06:25,982 --> 01:06:27,775
after death, a dead idea.

1163
01:06:27,858 --> 01:06:29,402
When rock becomes air..."

1164
01:06:29,485 --> 01:06:30,569
"I will be there."

1165
01:06:31,570 --> 01:06:33,280
-He's here.
-Yeah, this is where he is.

1166
01:06:33,364 --> 01:06:35,700
-Yeah. So rock has become air.
-Yeah.

1167
01:06:38,744 --> 01:06:40,705
-Let's sit down a minute, relax.
-Well, this is...

1168
01:06:41,330 --> 01:06:44,834
-Yes, it's not every day...
- Kerouac, he honored life.

1169
01:06:45,710 --> 01:06:48,963
I had to read everything again,
that Kerouac wrote.

1170
01:06:49,046 --> 01:06:51,882
Not that I did,
but I thought about it differently.

1171
01:06:52,425 --> 01:06:54,301
All of a sudden, On the Road,

1172
01:06:55,761 --> 01:06:57,680
he was talking about the road of life.

1173
01:07:07,231 --> 01:07:09,025
"Strange now to think of you,

1174
01:07:09,108 --> 01:07:11,235
gone without corsets and eyes,

1175
01:07:11,318 --> 01:07:13,112
while I walk
on the sunny pavement

1176
01:07:13,195 --> 01:07:14,405
of Greenwich Village,

1177
01:07:15,197 --> 01:07:16,782
downtown Manhattan,

1178
01:07:17,033 --> 01:07:18,242
clear winter noon,

1179
01:07:18,576 --> 01:07:20,578
and I've been up all night talking,

1180
01:07:20,661 --> 01:07:21,662
talking,

1181
01:07:21,746 --> 01:07:23,247
reading the Kaddish aloud,

1182
01:07:23,664 --> 01:07:25,166
listening to Ray Charles

1183
01:07:25,249 --> 01:07:27,752
blues shout blind on the phonograph

1184
01:07:28,169 --> 01:07:29,962
The rhythm, the rhythm

1185
01:07:30,629 --> 01:07:32,798
and your memory in my head..."
"like a poem in the dark--

1186
01:07:32,965 --> 01:07:35,301
escaped back to Oblivion--

1187
01:07:35,926 --> 01:07:37,178
No more to say,

1188
01:07:37,261 --> 01:07:40,723
and nothing to weep for
but the Beings in the Dream,

1189
01:07:40,806 --> 01:07:42,516
trapped in its disappearance,

1190
01:07:43,017 --> 01:07:43,893
sighing,

1191
01:07:44,268 --> 01:07:45,227
screaming with it,

1192
01:07:45,603 --> 01:07:48,856
buying and selling pieces of phantom,

1193
01:07:49,065 --> 01:07:51,525
laughing and weeping over mahjong,

1194
01:07:51,776 --> 01:07:53,444
worshipping each other,

1195
01:07:53,611 --> 01:07:56,072
worshipping the God included in it all--

1196
01:07:56,447 --> 01:07:58,908
longing or inevitability?--

1197
01:07:59,116 --> 01:08:01,327
while it lasts, a Vision--

1198
01:08:01,786 --> 01:08:05,164
Death, stay thy phantoms!

1199
01:08:05,748 --> 01:08:08,292
O mother
what have I left out

1200
01:08:08,876 --> 01:08:11,420
O mother
what have I forgotten

1201
01:08:11,796 --> 01:08:14,465
O mother
farewell

1202
01:08:14,799 --> 01:08:16,801
with a long black shoe

1203
01:08:17,301 --> 01:08:19,720
farewell
with Communist Party

1204
01:08:19,804 --> 01:08:21,305
and a broken stocking

1205
01:08:21,764 --> 01:08:23,933
farewell
with six dark hairs

1206
01:08:24,016 --> 01:08:25,684
on the wen of your breast

1207
01:08:26,185 --> 01:08:28,562
farewell
with your old dress

1208
01:08:28,646 --> 01:08:31,649
and a long black beard around the vagina

1209
01:08:32,066 --> 01:08:35,569
with your eyes
with your eyes of Russia

1210
01:08:35,653 --> 01:08:37,822
with your eyes of no money

1211
01:08:37,947 --> 01:08:40,241
with your eyes of Aunt Elanor

1212
01:08:40,533 --> 01:08:42,326
with your eyes of shock

1213
01:08:42,618 --> 01:08:44,829
with your eyes of lobotomy

1214
01:08:45,079 --> 01:08:49,583
with your eyes of divorce
with your eyes of stroke

1215
01:08:49,792 --> 01:08:52,002
with your eyes alone

1216
01:08:52,169 --> 01:08:53,337
with your eyes

1217
01:08:53,754 --> 01:08:54,964
with your eyes

1218
01:08:55,214 --> 01:08:57,883
with your death full of flowers."

01:09:54,064 --> 01:09:56,442
-'Cause you're doing new songs, right?
- Yeah.

1228
01:09:56,525 --> 01:09:59,528
And a lot of people in
the audience expected the old songs.

1229
01:09:59,612 --> 01:10:01,405
But Ratso, you know,
that's the first--

1230

- What's that?

If you have big expectations,
you're gonna be let down.

have preconceptions.

That's their problem, Ratso.
That's their own problem.

"Well, we believe in these institutions,
and we believe in America."

Bob Dylan the man,

01:15:46,917 --> 01:15:49,836
that's who we're talking about,
the message he preaches when he sings...

1308
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:52,172
-You can't use microscopes on everything.
-The happiness...

1309

01:15:56,969 --> 01:15:58,971
I thought it was sort of depressing...

1312
01:15:59,555 --> 01:16:02,683
that people would stand in line
for two days to see a man.

1313
01:16:02,766 --> 01:16:04,142
It just so-- shows...

1314
01:16:05,894 --> 01:16:08,564
they have that need for something
or somebody to...

1315
01:16:10,816 --> 01:16:13,318
bring salvation or something. You know?

1316
01:16:13,986 --> 01:16:15,153
But I did it, too.

1317
01:16:16,196 --> 01:16:17,030
I don't know.

1318
01:16:17,406 --> 01:16:20,033
About five in the afternoon,
the day before the show, right?

1319
01:16:20,117 --> 01:16:20,993
-Yeah.
-You were there,

1320
01:16:21,076 --> 01:16:23,579
you'd been there for a couple of days,
you hit on me right away.

1321
01:16:23,662 --> 01:16:25,205
You said you wanted this button, right?

1322
01:16:25,289 --> 01:16:26,957

-Yeah, right. Mm-hmm.
-Yeah.

1324
01:16:29,167 --> 01:16:31,336
A lot of people think you are, Larry.

1325
01:16:31,753 --> 01:16:34,256
Well, it's pretty obvious.

1326
01:16:34,339 --> 01:16:36,341
Take your glasses off
for a minute.

1327
01:16:37,467 --> 01:16:39,511
-I'm not him.
- Well, anyways...

1328
01:16:39,636 --> 01:16:42,806
That little shit Ratso,
he was the worst.

1329
01:16:42,889 --> 01:16:45,517
He dressed like Dylan,
he tried to talk like Dylan,

1330
01:16:45,601 --> 01:16:47,561
always trying to ingratiate himself.

1331
01:16:47,644 --> 01:16:49,104
He thought he was Hunter Thompson

1332
01:16:49,187 --> 01:16:51,481
just because he was writing
for Rolling Stone.

1333
01:16:51,565 --> 01:16:54,276
He didn't want anyone else
with vision around.

1334
01:16:55,235 --> 01:16:57,279
Did he wind up
causing problems for you?

1335
01:16:57,362 --> 01:16:58,363
Please.

1336
01:16:58,655 --> 01:17:01,450
Does the cockroach really cause problems
for the house?

1337
01:17:01,700 --> 01:17:03,368
No, it's just a nuisance.

1338
01:17:03,702 --> 01:17:05,871
Van Dorp was an unusual guy.

1339
01:17:06,455 --> 01:17:09,416
He's one of those kind of people
who's trying to... just needs an enemy.

1340
01:17:09,499 --> 01:17:10,334
And...

1341
01:17:10,542 --> 01:17:13,420
uh, he was trying to make enemies
where there weren't any,

1342
01:17:13,670 --> 01:17:16,256
and, uh, he-- he was--

1343
01:17:16,340 --> 01:17:17,966
he was successful at that.

1344
01:17:20,052 --> 01:17:23,764
He-- He angered a lot--
lots of people, especially in catering.

1345
01:17:23,847 --> 01:17:26,975
He would eat two or three, uh, meals

1346
01:17:27,142 --> 01:17:30,437
that really...
really were for somebody else.

1347
01:17:31,813 --> 01:17:34,441
So, he ate more than he was supposed to,

1348
01:17:35,025 --> 01:17:36,985
and I think-- and I think he...

1349
01:17:39,529 --> 01:17:43,950
...uh, I think he stuck his nose in places
it might've should not have been.

1350
01:17:45,661 --> 01:17:47,496
He was also a very paranoid person.

1351
01:17:48,246 --> 01:17:50,540
Complained to people
that his room was bugged.

1352
01:17:51,708 --> 01:17:54,961
Uh, which, you know,
McGuinn was on that tour,

1353
01:17:55,170 --> 01:18:00,384
and McGuinn who at that point was into,
uh, very sophisticated electronics.

1354
01:18:00,467 --> 01:18:02,469
So I'm not saying it wasn't bugged but...

1355
01:18:03,261 --> 01:18:05,430
but I'm not saying that it was bugged,

1356
01:18:05,514 --> 01:18:07,099
because I don't know that for a fact.

1357
01:18:07,182 --> 01:18:09,267
All tickets are $8.50 a ticket.

1358
01:18:10,018 --> 01:18:11,937
What were the audiences like...

1359
01:18:12,020 --> 01:18:13,105
that you played to?

1360
01:18:15,357 --> 01:18:17,609
Well, they would all be...

1361
01:18:18,652 --> 01:18:19,820
hysterically happy.

1362
01:18:20,404 --> 01:18:22,155
So, I mean,  you can't really judge much

1363
01:18:22,239 --> 01:18:24,282
from saying,
"What would the audiences be like?"

1364
01:18:24,366 --> 01:18:27,536
They would all be people who would've
slit each other's throats to get there.

1365
01:18:32,624 --> 01:18:35,877
- What a lovely couple!

01:19:19,588 --> 01:19:21,757
Joan Baez
and me could sing anything.

1372
01:19:22,632 --> 01:19:24,551
We could sing together in our sleep.

1373
01:19:25,427 --> 01:19:26,553
As a matter of fact,

1374
01:19:27,095 --> 01:19:29,931
lot of times when I was sleeping,
I'd hear her voice.

1380

Joan was so courageous.

1381
01:20:06,092 --> 01:20:07,010
Self-disciplined.

1382
01:20:08,011 --> 01:20:11,264
When I first met her, it seemed like
she'd come down to Earth from a meteorite.

1383
01:20:11,890 --> 01:20:12,849
And she's never changed.

1384
01:20:12,933 --> 01:20:15,852
She always seems like she's just come down
from a meteorite.

1385
01:20:20,482 --> 01:20:23,318
You had no reservations
about going on tour?

1386
01:20:24,152 --> 01:20:24,986
Well...

1387
01:20:25,654 --> 01:20:27,030
Sure.

1388
01:20:27,781 --> 01:20:28,615
I mean...

1389
01:20:29,533 --> 01:20:34,579
I think it probably sounded like... fun,
but I also had experienced Dylan,

1390
01:20:34,913 --> 01:20:38,500
and, you know, how much fun
that can be on any tour or not.

1391
01:20:38,959 --> 01:20:39,876
So, um...

1392
01:20:40,418 --> 01:20:43,630
But I think, know-- knowing
that it was gonna be a lot of people,

1393
01:20:43,713 --> 01:20:46,842
and I was gonna have my own family
with me...

1394
01:20:51,638 --> 01:20:54,391
It sounded exciting, you know.

1395
01:21:04,401 --> 01:21:06,027
I had my own freedom...

1396
01:21:06,111 --> 01:21:09,865
to sing and dance in a way
that I didn't do on my own stage.

1397
01:21:16,830 --> 01:21:18,707
Maybe there wasn't enough
for her to do

1398
01:21:18,790 --> 01:21:20,417
and she'd begin to go a little stir-crazy.

1399
01:21:20,500 --> 01:21:21,376
Started doing, uh...

1400
01:21:21,710 --> 01:21:25,422
boogaloo and hanging out with people
maybe she shouldn't be hanging out with,

1401
01:21:25,505 --> 01:21:26,506
and, um...

1402
01:21:27,299 --> 01:21:28,258
Ugh.

1403
01:21:29,593 --> 01:21:30,927
I don't know what happened.

1404
01:21:32,387 --> 01:21:34,890
Boy, sitting right next to Bob Dylan, man.
Whew.

1405
01:21:34,973 --> 01:21:37,017
I got a light if you got a smoke.

1406
01:21:37,726 --> 01:21:40,103
One time,
I got all dressed up as Bob,

1407
01:21:40,186 --> 01:21:41,855
which I would do periodically.

1408
01:21:42,063 --> 01:21:45,567
I used to put these little beard markings
all over and have a mustache on.

1409
01:21:45,901 --> 01:21:48,028
And then I'd put his hat on

1410
01:21:48,570 --> 01:21:49,863
and some whiteface.

1411
01:21:50,155 --> 01:21:52,240
♪ All the time you dress so fine ♪

1412
01:21:53,617 --> 01:21:56,745
♪ Threw the bums a dime in your prime... ♪

1413
01:21:56,828 --> 01:21:59,623
I walked over with nobody really
paying attention,

1414
01:21:59,706 --> 01:22:01,166
and I'd be Bob.

1415
01:22:01,666 --> 01:22:05,003
And there was this table of,
like, food and catering and coffee,

1416
01:22:05,337 --> 01:22:07,213
and Louie was there, and I said...

1417
01:22:07,297 --> 01:22:09,215
"Handsome, give me some coffee."

1418
01:22:09,966 --> 01:22:12,552
Instantly,
people got me some coffee like that.

1419
01:22:13,136 --> 01:22:16,014
"D'you want this? D'you want this?
You want milk? Do you want sugar?"

1420
01:22:16,097 --> 01:22:18,934
And I just had a cigarette in my hand,
going like that,

1421
01:22:19,017 --> 01:22:21,019
and they treated me
the way they treat Bob.

1422
01:22:21,102 --> 01:22:23,063
"D'you want this? D'you want that?
What can we do?"

1423
01:22:23,146 --> 01:22:24,272
It was amazing.

1424
01:22:24,981 --> 01:22:27,859
It was amazing
until finally I said something like,

1425
01:22:27,943 --> 01:22:31,196
"Oh, for Christ sake, Louie."
And then he realized.

1426
01:22:31,279 --> 01:22:34,366
Oh, yeah, and I had a little wig on
with my hair coming out underneath it.

1427
01:22:34,658 --> 01:22:36,910
Terrible.

1428
01:22:40,330 --> 01:22:43,625
It's like the court of Henry VIII
or something, you know?

1429
01:22:43,833 --> 01:22:46,836
Who's Anne Boleyn, you know?
Which one is gonna get the ax, you know?

1430
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:50,465
You know what I mean?
You know, there's that kind of dynamic.

1431
01:22:50,548 --> 01:22:52,884
And people are maneuvering to get closer,

1432
01:22:52,968 --> 01:22:55,804
and then there are the people
who are using you to maneuver.

1433
01:22:56,137 --> 01:22:58,974
David Mansfield wanted to sing a song
with me, uh...

1434
01:22:59,182 --> 01:23:00,934
Ugh. God.

1435
01:23:01,226 --> 01:23:03,687
That, uh, a drummer did.

1436
01:23:03,812 --> 01:23:06,022
I didn't see what the point of it all was.

1437
01:23:07,691 --> 01:23:11,069
- What does makeup do for you?
-I don't know.

1438
01:23:11,152 --> 01:23:13,780
Just hides, you know, the ugliness
a little bit.

1439
01:23:16,032 --> 01:23:19,828
Everyone, of course, you know,
wanted their shot,

1440
01:23:19,911 --> 01:23:21,454
wanted their time in the sun.

1441
01:23:22,330 --> 01:23:24,582
But we all know that, you know,
you have to...

1442
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:26,543
give for the good of the show.

1443
01:23:26,668 --> 01:23:28,753
And it was such an honor to be there,

1444
01:23:29,838 --> 01:23:31,297
so that was no problem.

1445
01:23:36,094 --> 01:23:38,680
Who were the people
you were closest with on the tour?

1446
01:23:38,763 --> 01:23:41,558
I know this sounds funny,
but I felt close to Bob.

1447
01:23:42,058 --> 01:23:45,145
I just always felt close to him
from the moment I met him.

1448
01:23:45,353 --> 01:23:48,273
Um, I'm sure many people
that feel that way.

1449
01:23:49,107 --> 01:23:50,108
Um...

1450
01:23:50,942 --> 01:23:54,070
I know Mick Ronson told me, however,
when I said, um...

1451
01:23:54,988 --> 01:23:57,282
you know, "Don't you love Bob?"
and he said, "I don't know.

1452
01:23:57,365 --> 01:23:58,616
He's never spoken to me."

1453
01:24:00,118 --> 01:24:03,371
Um, and then once we were
in Massachusetts,

1454
01:24:03,913 --> 01:24:05,540
and people were about to arrive.

1455
01:24:05,623 --> 01:24:08,501
I don't know who they were,
but not our little group.

1456
01:24:09,002 --> 01:24:12,380
Bob and I were alone in the basement,
and Bob said, "Ronee, help."

1457
01:24:12,714 --> 01:24:13,923
And I said, "Help what?"

1458
01:24:15,175 --> 01:24:19,137
And-- And I felt so bad about that
afterwards because I didn't mean to be...

1459
01:24:19,846 --> 01:24:23,850
cruel or thoughtless to Bob,
but I always thought, you know,

1460
01:24:23,933 --> 01:24:25,935
I had to treat him
just like a regular person

1461
01:24:26,019 --> 01:24:27,896
if I were going to be friends with him.

1462
01:24:29,814 --> 01:24:33,777
But later on, I understood a little more
what he might be asking help for.

1463
01:24:34,027 --> 01:24:35,361
What was he asking help for?

1464
01:24:35,445 --> 01:24:37,280
I think the onslaught of strangers.

1465
01:24:39,157 --> 01:24:41,076
Hello, take my picture, please!

1466
01:24:41,493 --> 01:24:42,577
Hiya, man.

1467
01:24:47,957 --> 01:24:52,796
I was in the park
with another one of my modeling jobs.

1468
01:24:53,421 --> 01:24:55,423
Of course, the whole park is full
of everybody doing

1469
01:24:55,507 --> 01:24:59,511
whatever they're doing,
and suddenly I hear, "Hey, Kiss,"

1470
01:24:59,928 --> 01:25:01,888
and I'm just, of course, mortified.

1471
01:25:01,971 --> 01:25:03,389
And then I realize...

1472
01:25:03,973 --> 01:25:05,350
that it's him.

1473
01:25:05,767 --> 01:25:08,436
So, of course, I'm even more mortified.

1474
01:25:09,938 --> 01:25:12,065
I think I met her with her mother.

1475
01:25:12,190 --> 01:25:13,316
She was a nice girl.

1476
01:25:13,608 --> 01:25:14,442
Uh...

1477
01:25:15,527 --> 01:25:17,278
She was so young, anyway, you know.

1478
01:25:18,822 --> 01:25:20,323
But she seemed old for her age.

1479
01:25:22,575 --> 01:25:24,869
Everybody wants
to be a movie star...

1480
01:25:25,036 --> 01:25:25,912
don't they?

1481
01:25:26,955 --> 01:25:29,749
But, you know, when you live
in the middle of nowhere,

1482
01:25:29,833 --> 01:25:32,544
when you tell somebody you wanna be
a movie star, they think you're...

1483
01:25:33,294 --> 01:25:34,129
insane.

1484
01:25:36,005 --> 01:25:38,133
She, uh, used to tell me,

1485
01:25:38,216 --> 01:25:40,718
uh, someday
she's going to be a famous actress.

1486
01:25:41,511 --> 01:25:42,470
Uh, okay.

1487
01:25:43,263 --> 01:25:45,807
A couple of days later he said, um...

1488
01:25:47,183 --> 01:25:48,268
"You know, hey...

1489
01:25:49,686 --> 01:25:53,439
how about if you just
come on the road with us?"

1490
01:25:55,275 --> 01:25:58,319
And I thought, "And do what?"

1491
01:26:01,030 --> 01:26:03,658
"You know, you could help out
with the costumes

1492
01:26:03,741 --> 01:26:06,369
and help out backstage and stuff."

1493
01:26:07,453 --> 01:26:10,123
- "Just Like a Woman."
-What?

1494
01:26:10,540 --> 01:26:12,750
-"Just Like a Woman"?
- Yeah!

1495
01:26:12,834 --> 01:26:15,170
-Do we know that song?
- I don't know, we could fake it.

1496
01:26:15,378 --> 01:26:17,422
It was one of the first shows.

1497
01:26:18,256 --> 01:26:20,717
-I was backstage.
- ...we'll try it.

1498
01:26:21,050 --> 01:26:23,261
Joan Baez had asked me to iron her shirt.

1499
01:26:24,387 --> 01:26:27,682
A second later I hear, "Hey... Sharon."

1500
01:26:28,766 --> 01:26:32,854
And there was this, um,
really decrepit old piano

1501
01:26:32,937 --> 01:26:37,650
shoved off to the side,
and Bob was kinda hunched over it.

1502
01:26:37,942 --> 01:26:40,069
And he gives me that-- that look.

1503
01:26:41,613 --> 01:26:44,324
He's like, "I wrote a song about you."

Bob Dylan for president!

1537
01:31:45,500 --> 01:31:47,084
President of what?

1538
01:31:49,587 --> 01:31:52,131
Was he in a special mode
of singing at that time?

1539
01:31:52,215 --> 01:31:54,175
Was he different
than you'd seen him before?

1540
01:31:54,258 --> 01:31:56,385
It was-- There was
a Rolling Thunder energy.

1541
01:31:57,053 --> 01:32:00,223
That was his invention, you know,
and all these people showed up.

1542
01:32:00,848 --> 01:32:01,724
So, yeah.

1543
01:32:05,186 --> 01:32:07,647
-What do you got, Larry?
- The tour was very open-ended,

1544
01:32:07,730 --> 01:32:10,066
so whatever city they went to,

1545
01:32:10,358 --> 01:32:12,485
if there was a local friend and musician,

1546
01:32:12,777 --> 01:32:14,820
there would be a slot for them
to come up and play.

1547
01:32:14,904 --> 01:32:17,573
For example, uh, in Connecticut,
Joni Mitchell...

1548
01:32:18,157 --> 01:32:20,076
came up, did a couple of songs,

1549
01:32:20,368 --> 01:32:22,870
and loved it so much that she stayed on
for the rest of the tour.

1550
01:32:22,954 --> 01:32:25,289
She just became part of the...
this experience.

1551
01:32:30,753 --> 01:32:32,880
How did you two end up on the road?

1552
01:32:32,964 --> 01:32:34,423
-I don't know--
-I came through Allen.

1553
01:32:34,507 --> 01:32:36,133
She came through Allen Ginsberg.

1554
01:32:36,467 --> 01:32:39,428
Um... I had finished a project and...

1555
01:32:40,137 --> 01:32:40,972
was, you know,

1556
01:32:41,055 --> 01:32:42,765
in a kind of a postnatal state

1557
01:32:42,848 --> 01:32:45,560
and wanted to come and see a concert,

1558
01:32:45,643 --> 01:32:48,312
and, uh, got sucked into it.

1559
01:32:48,396 --> 01:32:50,982
You know, just shelved everything that...

1560
01:32:51,524 --> 01:32:54,652
Everything else seemed, uh,
minorly important

1561
01:32:54,735 --> 01:32:56,988
compared to this, like, as an experience,

1562
01:32:57,071 --> 01:33:01,033
and an experiment in communal existence.
You know?

1563
01:33:01,909 --> 01:33:02,952
What do you think?

1564
01:33:03,035 --> 01:33:05,454
I think you've gotta come on the stage
right now.

1565
01:33:05,538 --> 01:33:06,956

1567
01:33:21,846 --> 01:33:24,724
Some days, I'd see it
as this kind of allegorical thing

1568
01:33:24,807 --> 01:33:29,228
or as this group of pilgrims
on a kind of journey and quest.

1569
01:33:29,312 --> 01:33:32,857
Of course, you-- you know, you--
the deal is you find yourself back home,

1570
01:33:32,940 --> 01:33:34,900
but you have to take this whole journey.

1571
01:33:35,443 --> 01:33:38,487
And then when you open it up to, you know,
here you are in America,

1572
01:33:38,571 --> 01:33:41,824
and-- and all the things
that Bob seemed to care about

1573
01:33:41,907 --> 01:33:44,493
in terms of these other...
the-- the folk culture

1574
01:33:44,577 --> 01:33:46,245
is getting thrown in there.

1575
01:33:48,497 --> 01:33:50,708
And that's another weave.
This sort of...

1576
01:33:50,791 --> 01:33:54,211

I don't know, redemption.

Even though they stole most everything
they could get their hands on.

1582
01:34:15,483 --> 01:34:20,029
Our land, children,
women, whatever, they took it.

1583
01:34:20,821 --> 01:34:22,615
Left us very poor people.

1584

A lot of our people homeless

But the best things of all,

1586
01:34:29,038 --> 01:34:30,331
that they had no value,

1587
01:34:30,915 --> 01:34:32,458
was our way of life.

1588
01:34:40,466 --> 01:34:43,594
It's beautiful music
when that thunder rolls.

1589
01:34:44,845 --> 01:34:46,764
And that's the way I got my name.

1590

I used to scream like a little eagle

run right out in the storm.

1592
01:34:55,690 --> 01:34:56,649
Yeah, I love it.

1593
01:34:57,233 --> 01:35:00,945
And that lightning flash,
there's a lot of power in it, I tell you.

1594
01:35:03,572 --> 01:35:05,991
This tour was named after
Chief Rolling Thunder.

1595
01:35:06,450 --> 01:35:11,539
So, it made sense that we go
to the Tuscarora Indian Reservation and...

1596
01:35:12,957 --> 01:35:13,833
and play.

1597
01:35:14,083 --> 01:35:15,876
We're gonna let our guests get their food.

1598
01:35:16,210 --> 01:35:19,797
I was just told it's gonna be
cafeteria style.

1599
01:35:20,506 --> 01:35:22,883
Bob was seated
right across the table from me,

1600
01:35:22,967 --> 01:35:23,801
and he said,

1601
01:35:24,009 --> 01:35:28,389
"You remember Peter's song
about Ira Hayes?"

1602
01:35:29,348 --> 01:35:33,018
And even today,
there are things to write about...

1603
01:35:34,019 --> 01:35:36,188
for a cowboy, and I'm a cowboy.

1604
01:35:36,772 --> 01:35:38,858
An Indian, and I'm part Indian.

1605
01:35:39,108 --> 01:35:40,568
Or a human being.

1606
01:35:41,402 --> 01:35:43,654
This is a song about a human being,

1607
01:35:45,156 --> 01:35:46,741
who is also an Indian.

1608
01:35:49,326 --> 01:35:51,412
And if you don't remember his name,

1609
01:35:52,371 --> 01:35:55,416
I think you may after this song.

1610
01:35:55,583 --> 01:35:58,461

1636
01:38:12,553 --> 01:38:17,725

can straighten out before too long,

you sing.

that you went off and got married

1686

-You should have told me or something.
-But I married the woman I loved.

I know, that's true.

1690

That's true.
And I married the man I thought I loved.

I'm only up all fuckin' night
when the hours are creeping down.

1732
01:44:59,042 --> 01:45:01,044
Well, I mean,
you had two fuckin' weeks, Larry.

1733
01:45:01,128 --> 01:45:01,962
To do what?

1734
01:45:02,045 --> 01:45:05,215
- To get a story, instead of--
- I gave you a story, I gave you--

1735
01:45:05,299 --> 01:45:07,426
That had a lot
of fuckin' holes in it.

1736
01:45:07,509 --> 01:45:09,928
- Well, but you're a bureaucrat.
- Oh, bullshit.

1737
01:45:10,012 --> 01:45:11,888
-Where do you get that crap?
- You ask--

1738
01:45:11,972 --> 01:45:13,932
You are a bureaucrat.
You ask me fuckin'...

1739
01:45:14,016 --> 01:45:15,934
uh, Wall Street Journal questions.

1740
01:45:16,018 --> 01:45:17,978
- Bullshit.
- Those are the questions--

1741
01:45:18,061 --> 01:45:19,771
Everybody in the fuckin' country
wants to know--

1742
01:45:19,855 --> 01:45:23,066
You're asking me
music business questions, man.

1743
01:45:23,483 --> 01:45:24,651
That's part of it, isn't it?

1744
01:45:24,735 --> 01:45:26,403
But that's not
what the kids wanna read.

1745
01:45:26,486 --> 01:45:29,281

1747
01:45:33,201 --> 01:45:36,288
Rolling Stone magazine
was interested in the economics,

1748
01:45:36,371 --> 01:45:38,290
how much are these people getting paid...

1749
01:45:38,373 --> 01:45:41,084
You know, why are they playing
bigger halls as the tour went on?

1750
01:45:41,168 --> 01:45:43,128
Those were the kind of questions
they were asking,

1751
01:45:43,211 --> 01:45:44,629
and I didn't give a shit about that.

1752
01:45:44,713 --> 01:45:48,717
I mean, what I was concerned with was,
you know, chronicling this...

1753
01:45:49,593 --> 01:45:51,470
this, uh, cultural event.

1754
01:45:52,846 --> 01:45:55,182
- Can I offer you a beer?
- Sure.

1755
01:45:57,184 --> 01:45:58,935
- There we go.
- Thank you.

1756
01:46:00,312 --> 01:46:02,689
There ain't too many Medicis
around these days,

1757
01:46:03,065 --> 01:46:06,276
and whether you're out on the road
with a lot of people,

1758
01:46:06,360 --> 01:46:07,652
or you're making a movie,

1759
01:46:07,736 --> 01:46:11,031
or any kind of creative endeavor
that takes resources,

1760
01:46:11,865 --> 01:46:12,741
you need money.

1761
01:46:12,949 --> 01:46:15,410
And you gotta go to somebody
who believes

1762
01:46:15,494 --> 01:46:18,497
that they're gonna get their money back
and maybe a little more.

1763
01:46:18,580 --> 01:46:21,583
So, yeah,
there's always this natural tension

1764
01:46:21,666 --> 01:46:22,918
between art and commerce.

1765
01:46:23,001 --> 01:46:25,003
Okay, how 'bout--
We gotta cut one of Jack's.

1766
01:46:25,087 --> 01:46:28,173
- He says to cut "Muleskinner."
- He wants to cut "Muleskinner."

1767
01:46:28,256 --> 01:46:30,217
All right. Okay.

1768
01:46:31,051 --> 01:46:32,719
I'll talk to Bob about this.

1769
01:46:33,720 --> 01:46:36,515
-All right, Allen's gonna do something?
-Five minutes. Very brief.

1770
01:46:36,598 --> 01:46:39,351
You got a whole different audience.
Did you look at those people?

1771
01:46:39,434 --> 01:46:42,354
They're not familiar with Dylan or Baez
or anybody else.

1772
01:46:42,437 --> 01:46:43,271
Right.

1773
01:46:43,355 --> 01:46:45,690
If you go up and spill poetry
for any length of time,

1774
01:46:45,774 --> 01:46:47,734
they're gonna be, you know, gone,
you know?

1775
01:46:47,818 --> 01:46:49,319
Make it two minutes, Allen.

1776
01:46:49,403 --> 01:46:51,238
Two minutes is plenty,
I'm telling you.

1777
01:46:51,321 --> 01:46:52,864
-Okay.
- What about more cuts?

1778
01:46:52,948 --> 01:46:54,866
-Two minutes.
- We're still cutting.

1779
01:46:54,950 --> 01:46:57,202
The show was originally
three hours.

1780
01:46:57,285 --> 01:47:00,372
Ginsberg, who appeared
in the show originally,

1781
01:47:00,997 --> 01:47:04,584
there was not enough time for him
to perform during the show,

1782
01:47:04,668 --> 01:47:06,711
so his section was cut.

1783
01:47:10,715 --> 01:47:13,760
He and Peter Orlovsky
became the baggage handlers.

1784
01:47:15,137 --> 01:47:18,807
We would put our bags outside the door,
and he would take them every day.

1785
01:47:19,641 --> 01:47:21,059
You're a fuckin' luggage handler?

1786
01:47:21,143 --> 01:47:23,645
-God, yeah, and I give massages sometimes.
-You're a poet!

1787
01:47:23,728 --> 01:47:26,314
I make myself useful around, on the, uh...

1788
01:47:27,023 --> 01:47:31,403
Uh... helping Chris with the newsletter
and putting out the newsletter.

1789
01:47:31,486 --> 01:47:32,904
-You do errands?
-Errands, right.

1790
01:47:32,988 --> 01:47:34,531
I can't believe this shit.

1791
01:47:34,614 --> 01:47:37,367
What kind of tour is this?
You're a fuckin' great poet, Peter.

1792
01:47:37,451 --> 01:47:40,871
I'm learning-- Been practicing banjo,
and I've been sitting every morning...

1793
01:47:40,954 --> 01:47:44,166
Uh, tomorrow morning, we're gonna sit
with Allen for one hour.

1794
01:47:44,249 --> 01:47:46,585
-To do what?
-After we wake up, sit and meditate.

1795
01:47:49,087 --> 01:47:51,423
At a party
at Gordon Lightfoot's house,

1796
01:47:51,506 --> 01:47:52,966
Toronto, Canada.

1797
01:48:19,117 --> 01:48:22,496
Joni Mitchell, she would go out
and do her new songs.

1798
01:48:22,579 --> 01:48:23,872
She wouldn't do any hits.

1799
01:48:24,289 --> 01:48:27,459
And the audience reaction
was a little sort of muted

1800
01:48:27,542 --> 01:48:28,835
for these new songs,

1801
01:48:28,919 --> 01:48:31,421
as it usually is when artists
try to do new songs.

1802
01:48:31,505 --> 01:48:33,548
And I remember,
she came off and she said,

1803
01:48:33,632 --> 01:48:36,927
"McGuinn, I don't know why
I'm so scared out there. I just don't..."

1804
01:48:37,010 --> 01:48:38,553
I said, "You're just doing new songs.

1805
01:48:38,637 --> 01:48:40,430
You ought to do something
that they recognize,

1806
01:48:40,514 --> 01:48:42,349
and then they'll, you know, loosen up."

1807
01:48:42,432 --> 01:48:45,727
She said, "No, no, I-- I can't do that.
I think that's a bad idea."

1808
01:48:52,025 --> 01:48:56,196
I admired her for her courage
to do the new stuff only.

1809
01:48:58,615 --> 01:49:00,909
Joni wrote this song
about this tour,

1810
01:49:00,992 --> 01:49:03,370
and on this tour, and for this tour.

1811
01:49:23,014 --> 01:49:24,182
Okay, D-minor now.

1812
01:49:28,603 --> 01:49:30,063
Yeah, some dissonance.

1813
01:49:31,356 --> 01:49:37,153
I had been loudly proclaiming
that my three favorite male songwriters

1814
01:49:37,529 --> 01:49:40,156
were Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen,
and Kinky Friedman.

1815
01:49:40,949 --> 01:49:45,870
So, Joni started interrogating me
backstage one day, saying,

1816
01:49:46,621 --> 01:49:48,206
"What do you mean, male?

1817
01:49:48,290 --> 01:49:50,458
Why do you make that distinction,
male songwriters?

1818
01:49:50,542 --> 01:49:52,210
I mean, what about my stuff?

1819
01:49:52,419 --> 01:49:55,338
I mean, don't you characterize my stuff,
like, you know,

1820
01:49:55,422 --> 01:49:57,882
in the same league as Bob
and Leonard Cohen?"

1821
01:50:00,552 --> 01:50:02,637
And we got into
this long discussion about,

1822
01:50:02,721 --> 01:50:06,182
well, the male versus female perspective,
and anima-animus,

1823
01:50:06,266 --> 01:50:08,810
and, you know, male-female dynamic,
and everything, you know.

1824
01:50:08,893 --> 01:50:12,731
But it became this long,
drawn-out confrontation,

1825
01:50:12,814 --> 01:50:14,274
and we bonded on that.

than I do today.

1881
01:53:36,351 --> 01:53:37,644
We have an America

1882
01:53:38,186 --> 01:53:39,896
that, in Bob Dylan's phrase,

1883
01:53:40,438 --> 01:53:42,190
is busy being born,

1884
01:53:43,525 --> 01:53:44,776
not busy dying.

1885
01:53:48,154 --> 01:53:50,990
I was very enamored
of Jimmy Carter.

1886
01:53:51,074 --> 01:53:54,994
He-- I thought he was a really soulful,
interesting guy,

1887
01:53:55,078 --> 01:53:56,246
and he liked me.

1888
01:53:56,788 --> 01:53:59,874
So, you know, I maintained
a relationship with him for a long time.

1889
01:53:59,958 --> 01:54:01,167
And he's the guy

1890
01:54:01,709 --> 01:54:05,338
who got me into the Rolling Thunder
concert that night.

1891
01:54:05,547 --> 01:54:06,756
Jimmy Carter.

1892
01:54:07,340 --> 01:54:08,508
Which is another story.

1893
01:54:09,467 --> 01:54:13,137
I was-- I was one of the youngest members
of the Congress.

1894
01:54:13,221 --> 01:54:14,931
And so I was, um...

1895
01:54:16,140 --> 01:54:19,269
Yeah, I mean,
I was torn between two generations there.

1896
01:54:19,352 --> 01:54:22,480
I was being pulled in both...
You know, you want to get anything done,

1897
01:54:22,564 --> 01:54:24,691
you have to get along
with people in the Congress.

1898
01:54:24,858 --> 01:54:28,361
You know, you don't get anything done
anymore because nobody wants to, but...

1899
01:54:28,736 --> 01:54:30,905
in my day you, you know,
you made an effort

1900
01:54:31,155 --> 01:54:32,365
to get along with these guys.

1901
01:54:32,448 --> 01:54:34,492
And most of them were considerably older
than I was.

1902
01:54:34,576 --> 01:54:38,413
And Dylan was considered the enemy,
really, by a lot of these guys.

1903
01:54:38,746 --> 01:54:41,541
I had grown up in this era where,
you know, you wanted to be an adult,

1904
01:54:41,624 --> 01:54:44,085
you wanted to drink a martini
with your dad, you know.

1905
01:54:44,168 --> 01:54:45,211
And now...

1906
01:54:45,503 --> 01:54:48,131
you know, "Never trust anybody over 30."
Right?

1907
01:54:48,214 --> 01:54:51,092
And I'm caught in the middle of this,
and I'm dealing in the Congress

1908
01:54:51,175 --> 01:54:52,760
with all these old guys, and...

1909
01:54:52,927 --> 01:54:55,555
You know, it's an interesting conundrum.

1910
01:54:56,598 --> 01:54:59,517
My own
interest in the criminal justice system

1911
01:54:59,601 --> 01:55:00,935
is very heartfelt.

1912
01:55:01,436 --> 01:55:03,646
One of the sources
for my understanding about

1913
01:55:03,771 --> 01:55:05,523
what's right and wrong in this society

1914
01:55:05,607 --> 01:55:08,318
is from a personal,
very close friend of mine

1915
01:55:08,693 --> 01:55:10,653
a great poet named Bob Dylan.

1916
01:55:11,696 --> 01:55:15,199
After listening to his records
about "The Ballad of Hattie Carroll"

1917
01:55:15,283 --> 01:55:17,160
and "Like a Rolling Stone,"

1918
01:55:17,744 --> 01:55:23,666
I've learned to appreciate the dynamism
of change in a modern society.

1919
01:55:24,542 --> 01:55:27,587
I grew up as a landowner's son,

1920
01:55:27,962 --> 01:55:31,132
but I don't think I ever realized
that the proper interrelationship

1921
01:55:31,215 --> 01:55:33,968
between the landowner
and those who worked on a farm

1922
01:55:34,385 --> 01:55:36,846
until I heard Dylan's record,

1923
01:55:36,930 --> 01:55:39,349
"I Ain't Gonna Work On Maggie's Farm
No More."

1924
01:55:40,433 --> 01:55:42,894
So I went to this meeting,
I believe it was in Atlanta.

1925
01:55:43,478 --> 01:55:47,690
Jimmy was there,
and he and I spoke about a few things.

1926
01:55:47,774 --> 01:55:51,402
And I can't remember exactly
what was left unsaid,

1927
01:55:51,486 --> 01:55:54,072
but I told him that I would call him back
that night,

1928
01:55:54,155 --> 01:55:56,074
and we were gonna finish
this conversation.

1929
01:55:56,157 --> 01:55:57,700
I had to get to the airport.

1930
01:55:58,201 --> 01:56:00,328
So I get on the flight,
I'm trying to get home.

1931
01:56:00,828 --> 01:56:05,375
And I got caught in a storm,
and we got diverted to Niagara Falls.

1932
01:56:06,042 --> 01:56:08,962
And I get stashed
in this cheesy little motel

1933
01:56:09,045 --> 01:56:10,546
that the airline put us up in.

1934
01:56:11,005 --> 01:56:12,674
I called Jimmy to say
I hadn't reached home,

1935
01:56:12,757 --> 01:56:15,009
but we could talk tomorrow,
and he said, "Where are you?"

1936
01:56:15,093 --> 01:56:17,387
And I said, "I'm in Niagara Falls."
And he says, "Well,

1937
01:56:17,470 --> 01:56:19,764
you just hit the jackpot because--

1938
01:56:19,847 --> 01:56:22,934
because Bob Dylan's
doing this Rolling Thunder concert

1939
01:56:23,017 --> 01:56:25,144
there tonight, and you can go."

1940
01:56:25,603 --> 01:56:29,232
He said, "I'll call him
and I'll get you in."

1941
01:56:29,691 --> 01:56:32,151
- Dylan!

1942
01:56:33,069 --> 01:56:34,862
Dylan, you're beautiful!

1943
01:56:36,823 --> 01:56:39,325
Uncle Sam is going to sing

1944
01:56:39,409 --> 01:56:42,537
one of his versions
of "The Star-Spangled Banner."

1945
01:56:42,787 --> 01:56:43,746
Ladies and gentlemen...

1946
01:56:43,830 --> 01:56:46,541
I saw
the best minds of my generation

1947
01:56:46,624 --> 01:56:48,334
destroyed by madness,

1948
01:56:48,418 --> 01:56:49,627
starving hysterical...

1949
01:56:49,752 --> 01:56:52,255
This song about a human being

1950
01:56:52,338 --> 01:56:53,589
who is also an Indian.

1951
01:56:55,550 --> 01:56:58,803
- "Let America be America again."
- And if you don't remember...

1952
01:56:58,886 --> 01:57:00,972
"Let it be the dream it used to be."

1953
01:57:08,312 --> 01:57:09,939
No, I'm sorry, you-- you can't...

1954
01:57:10,023 --> 01:57:12,859
-Excuse me. You can't shoot in here.
- You need authorization.

1955
01:57:12,942 --> 01:57:14,819
You cannot shoot in here, sir.

1956
01:57:14,902 --> 01:57:17,780
- Why can't I shoot in here?
-He's running the camera.

1957
01:57:17,864 --> 01:57:19,323
What organization are you from?

1958
01:57:21,826 --> 01:57:23,494
Do you know
where you're going to?

1959
01:57:23,578 --> 01:57:25,121
I don't know. You'll have to ask him.

1960
01:57:26,539 --> 01:57:30,501
I'm sorry you had the hassle.
Uh, we didn't know you were coming.

1961
01:57:31,335 --> 01:57:32,295
Obviously.

1962
01:57:32,378 --> 01:57:34,088
We just happened to be
in the neighborhood.

1963
01:57:34,172 --> 01:57:37,050
-I heard it was you.
-I brought a friend if you don't mind.

1964
01:57:37,133 --> 01:57:40,011
No, I don't mind, but I'm sorry
you had any trouble downstairs.

1965
01:57:40,094 --> 01:57:41,554
Uh, Irwin, this is Bob.

1966
01:57:41,637 --> 01:57:42,847
-How are you?
- Good.

1967
01:57:42,930 --> 01:57:44,182
But if you're looking...

1968
01:57:45,224 --> 01:57:46,726
to help the guy, in effect,

1969
01:57:46,934 --> 01:57:50,646
you know, and your purpose is a social one
rather than a record one,

1970
01:57:51,022 --> 01:57:54,275
then I think it probably would make sense,
you know, to comment, you know, early.

1971
01:57:54,358 --> 01:57:56,986
You know what I'm saying?
I don't know what your motivations are.

1972
01:57:57,320 --> 01:57:59,781
You're kind of throwing it out
and I haven't given a lot of thought.

1973
01:57:59,864 --> 01:58:01,532
I think there's a Top 40 AM problem.

1974
01:58:01,616 --> 01:58:05,453
Conversely,
there may be a lot of black radio play,

1975
01:58:05,536 --> 01:58:06,954
for example, in the east.

1976
01:58:07,205 --> 01:58:09,916
- Or you make it AM play.
-So WWRL would--

1977
01:58:09,999 --> 01:58:12,835
It's a Bob Dylan statement,
that it is unique.

1978
01:58:12,919 --> 01:58:14,212
Whoever wants to play it can play it,

1979
01:58:14,295 --> 01:58:15,922
but the idea is he wants it
on the streets,

1980
01:58:16,005 --> 01:58:18,257
so people can do with it what they want.

1981
01:58:18,341 --> 01:58:19,842
But with those caveats,

1982
01:58:19,926 --> 01:58:22,970
your motivation is to try to do
what you can for the guy,

1983
01:58:23,054 --> 01:58:25,431
then it probably makes sense
to do it as quickly as possible.

1984
01:58:25,515 --> 01:58:27,809
-That's the motivation.
- Uh...

1990
01:58:46,536 --> 01:58:47,995
That's what they were talking about.

1991
01:58:49,122 --> 01:58:52,041
Rubin Carter
was an amazing boxer,

1992
01:58:52,125 --> 01:58:53,000
middleweight,

1993
01:58:53,084 --> 01:58:54,794
who had been framed

1994
01:58:55,419 --> 01:58:57,713
for a murder in New Jersey

1995
01:58:57,797 --> 01:59:01,425
and was languishing now
in Rahway State Prison.

1996
01:59:02,677 --> 01:59:04,262
Bob wrote this incredible song,

1997
01:59:04,846 --> 01:59:08,641
"Hurricane," and was very concerned
about getting him out.

1998
01:59:09,267 --> 01:59:12,854
I'd written songs about boxers before,
so that was nothing new, but, uh...

1999
01:59:13,938 --> 01:59:16,357
I hadn't really thought about,
uh, Hurricane...

2000
01:59:17,400 --> 01:59:19,318
because I didn't know about Hurricane.

2001
01:59:19,610 --> 01:59:20,444
Uh...

2002
01:59:21,028 --> 01:59:21,904
It...

2003
01:59:23,114 --> 01:59:24,949
It never really crossed my path.

2004
01:59:26,367 --> 01:59:27,910
I got the book. I read it.

2005
01:59:27,994 --> 01:59:30,997
Um, I, you know, made a mental note
that if I was coming east,

2006
01:59:31,080 --> 01:59:33,249
or if I was east, I would, uh, visit him.

2007
01:59:33,499 --> 01:59:36,294
We were there for, you know,
most of the day,

2008
01:59:36,377 --> 01:59:37,628
as far as I can remember.

2009
01:59:37,837 --> 01:59:40,923
Uh, we got there in the morning
and then left him when it was dark.

2010
01:59:41,757 --> 01:59:43,217
I realized the man's philosophy

2011
01:59:43,301 --> 01:59:46,679
and my philosophy were running
on the same road.

2012
01:59:46,888 --> 01:59:49,765
You know, and, uh,
you don't meet too many people like that,

2013
01:59:49,849 --> 01:59:55,062
you know, that you just know that kinda
on the same path, mentally, you know.

2014
01:59:55,146 --> 01:59:56,272
Yeah.

2015
01:59:56,355 --> 02:00:00,401
Dylan was different than other people
who came to see me.

2016
02:00:00,776 --> 02:00:03,571
I mean, other people would ask
the obvious questions.

2017
02:00:03,654 --> 02:00:05,198
"Rubin, are you guilty?"

2018
02:00:05,573 --> 02:00:08,784
You know, "Did you commit this crime?"
"Did you do that?" You know.

2019
02:00:08,868 --> 02:00:10,328
But Dylan wasn't asking that.

2020
02:00:10,828 --> 02:00:14,373
Not at all. It seemed
like he was searching for something else.

2021
02:00:14,665 --> 02:00:16,417
It was as if he was saying,

2022
02:00:17,543 --> 02:00:18,544
"Who are you, man?"

2023
02:00:19,045 --> 02:00:21,422
You know, "Are you what I see?"

2024
02:00:22,590 --> 02:00:26,928
I had a friend of mine send me his lyrics
to his songs,

2025
02:00:27,511 --> 02:00:29,138
and so I could read his lyrics,

2026
02:00:29,222 --> 02:00:33,601
so I can get an-- an idea
of who I'm talkin' to here, you know.

2027
02:00:34,518 --> 02:00:35,353
And...

2028
02:00:35,853 --> 02:00:39,523
I found something
that was, uh, very interesting. Very...

2029
02:00:39,857 --> 02:00:41,234
That really connected us.

2030
02:00:41,525 --> 02:00:46,280
Both of us were... were performers
and crowd-pleasers.

2031
02:00:46,572 --> 02:00:49,033
You know, me with the vicious left hook,

2032
02:00:49,825 --> 02:00:54,080
you know, whose parents grew up
in the Jim Crow South,

2033
02:00:54,664 --> 02:01:00,378
and Dylan, uh, you know, with his... uh...
the troubadour.

2034
02:01:00,836 --> 02:01:03,631
So you got back, and you had
the germ of an idea to do a song?

2035
02:01:03,714 --> 02:01:04,799
- Yeah.
- Why?

2036
02:01:04,882 --> 02:01:07,176
I mean, you know,
is this a return to protest...

2037
02:01:07,301 --> 02:01:08,594
I mean...

2038
02:01:08,678 --> 02:01:11,681
You know,
is this, uh, "Hattie Carroll" revisited?

2039
02:01:12,932 --> 02:01:15,851
Um, there's an injustice
that has been done, you know.

2040
02:01:15,935 --> 02:01:18,437
And the fact is
that it can happen to anybody.

2041
02:01:18,521 --> 02:01:19,897
- Mm-hmm.
- You know?

2042
02:01:19,981 --> 02:01:22,525
-And we have to be confronted with that.
- So-- So--

2043
02:01:23,025 --> 02:01:25,027
This song is called "Hurricane."

2044
02:01:26,821 --> 02:01:28,864
If you got any political pull at all,

2045
02:01:28,948 --> 02:01:31,367
maybe you can help us get this man
out of jail,

2046
02:01:31,993 --> 02:01:33,536

2136
02:07:54,208 --> 02:07:59,463

02:08:35,749 --> 02:08:37,376
Let me introduce you to everybody.

2146
02:08:38,752 --> 02:08:41,255
Many of the people who came
to help me were white people,

2147
02:08:41,797 --> 02:08:44,216
which must have surprised the authorities,

2148
02:08:44,299 --> 02:08:47,428
because the authorities claimed
that I committed this crime

2149
02:08:47,511 --> 02:08:49,346
because of my hatred for white people.

2150
02:08:49,513 --> 02:08:51,473
But here's all these white folks

2151
02:08:52,099 --> 02:08:54,435
coming to help this poor black man

2152
02:08:54,643 --> 02:08:56,895
who's in prison for something
that he didn't do,

2153
02:08:56,979 --> 02:08:59,606
something that he didn't do.
I mean, it-- it was great.

2154
02:08:59,982 --> 02:09:02,860
What happens if the courts
say no, where do you go from there?

2155
02:09:02,943 --> 02:09:05,320
Are you gonna go back into the courts
once again?

2156
02:09:05,404 --> 02:09:07,990
If the courts say no,
we just keep on fighting.

2157
02:09:08,240 --> 02:09:10,868
There's no such--
There's no such thing as no.

2158
02:09:11,326 --> 02:09:12,578
There's just yes,

2159
02:09:12,661 --> 02:09:15,289
and the road is straight ahead,
and we keep on going.

2160
02:09:16,415 --> 02:09:18,083
Bob always been searching.

2161
02:09:18,167 --> 02:09:22,171
Every time I see Bob now, and which
we don't see each other frequently,

2162
02:09:22,504 --> 02:09:26,759
but every time I see him, I ask Bob,
"Have you found it yet, Bob?"

2163
02:09:27,968 --> 02:09:29,636
And Bob says, "Yeah, I found it."

2164
02:09:30,095 --> 02:09:33,849
But I know he hasn't,
'cause he keeps searching.

2165
02:09:35,142 --> 02:09:38,187
He'd always say,
"Hey, what are you searching for today?"

2166
02:09:38,270 --> 02:09:39,354
I'd say, "What?"

2167
02:09:39,438 --> 02:09:42,191
He'd say, "I know you're a searcher.
What are you searching for?"

2168
02:09:42,566 --> 02:09:46,528
I'd say, uh, "Well, Hurricane,
I'm searching for the Holy Grail."

2169
02:09:46,904 --> 02:09:47,905
And he'd say, "What?"

2170
02:09:48,155 --> 02:09:52,326
I said, "I'm gonna search until I find it,
like Sir Galahad."

2171
02:09:54,453 --> 02:09:55,788
That's what I'm looking for.

2172
02:09:58,749 --> 02:10:02,628
- Five minutes. Five minutes.
- Do you think he's a genius?

2173
02:10:03,462 --> 02:10:05,005
Is Bob Dylan a genius?

2174
02:10:06,423 --> 02:10:08,884
I don't know.
That's a strange word.

2175
02:10:10,052 --> 02:10:10,886
Maybe.

2176
02:10:11,220 --> 02:10:15,140
I think the most brilliant thing he did
was putting a group of highly motivated

2177
02:10:15,349 --> 02:10:18,393
and ambitious people
on a train with no supervision,

2178
02:10:18,602 --> 02:10:21,939
and then let them become
the most extreme versions of themselves.

2179
02:10:22,439 --> 02:10:24,566
Is that how you'd describe
what happened?

2180
02:10:24,650 --> 02:10:26,401
I know that's what happened to me.

2181
02:10:26,527 --> 02:10:28,904
- Let's go. Let's go.

2182
02:10:30,364 --> 02:10:31,198
Let's go.

2183
02:10:31,865 --> 02:10:33,951
So, why did you come here
to speak to me?

2184
02:10:34,034 --> 02:10:38,497
Well, to try and, you know, stake my claim

2185
02:10:38,580 --> 02:10:42,334
and say, "Here I am, this is me.
I'm the one who made this.

2186
02:10:42,417 --> 02:10:43,544
You're using it.

2187
02:10:43,961 --> 02:10:47,631
This wouldn't exist without me.
I'm the filmmaker here."

2188
02:10:49,132 --> 02:10:52,135
December 4th, 1975, Montreal, Canada,

2189
02:10:52,219 --> 02:10:54,847
last scheduled concert
for the Rolling Thunder Revue.

2190
02:10:55,806 --> 02:11:00,644
We phantoms are assembled
at the end of the Rolling Thunder tour.

2191
02:11:00,769 --> 02:11:02,479
Roger? Let's go. Luther?

2192
02:11:02,563 --> 02:11:05,399
We started out
trying to recover America.

2193
02:11:05,482 --> 02:11:08,318
We discovered a certain amount of truth
about ourselves.

2194
02:11:08,777 --> 02:11:11,363
Old friends who thought
their loves had been lost

2195
02:11:11,613 --> 02:11:15,325
were able to get together
and, uh, face each other eye to eye

2196
02:11:15,617 --> 02:11:17,995
and sing over an electrical microphone

2197
02:11:18,078 --> 02:11:22,332
to please the desires
of myriad young yearners,

2198
02:11:22,416 --> 02:11:25,544
who had been seeking some kind
of union and community

2199
02:11:25,627 --> 02:11:27,629
and saw therein an image
of that community.

2200
02:11:28,755 --> 02:11:30,340
Was the tour a success?

2201
02:11:30,757 --> 02:11:33,427
The tour was a disaster,
it was a catastrophe.

2202
02:11:33,510 --> 02:11:34,761
- Why?
-Well,

2203
02:11:34,845 --> 02:11:37,764
I told 'em we should be playing
to 20,000-seaters,

2204
02:11:37,848 --> 02:11:40,559
but instead, you know, they wanted
to play all these small joints.

2205
02:11:40,642 --> 02:11:43,645
Now you've got 16 to 18 people onstage,

2206
02:11:43,729 --> 02:11:46,356
and you got 15 people on the back line.

2207
02:11:47,024 --> 02:11:50,485
Buses and hotel rooms and catering,
and you're only playing to houses

2208
02:11:50,569 --> 02:11:53,363
with 3,000 seats,
so you're gonna hemorrhage money.

2209
02:11:53,447 --> 02:11:55,532
We were in the red
before we even got on the road.

2210
02:11:55,616 --> 02:11:57,868
No, it wasn't a success.

2211
02:11:58,619 --> 02:12:00,954
Not if you measure success
in terms of profit.

2212
02:12:02,247 --> 02:12:03,916
But it was a sense of adventure.

2213
02:12:05,208 --> 02:12:09,379
So, in many ways, yes,
it was very successful.

2214
02:12:10,797 --> 02:12:11,840
Let's go.

2215
02:12:12,758 --> 02:12:14,009
Time to go.

2216
02:12:14,760 --> 02:12:17,721
- Come on. We're on.
- Yeah, Rob, you look pretty.

2217
02:12:22,392 --> 02:12:24,561
What remains of that tour to this day?

2218
02:12:24,645 --> 02:12:25,479
Nothing.

2219
02:12:26,855 --> 02:12:28,106

2220
02:12:28,690 --> 02:12:29,524
