:28:01
"Bob Dylan. You never heard
of Bob Dylan?"
:28:03
I said, "No, I never heard of Bob Dylan."
:28:05
I'm sayin', "What's with this weird cat?"
:28:08
Because, I mean,
Bob Dylan was really a genius...
:28:11
...but I just couldn't get ready for it.
:28:13
I figured Jimi was so heavy
into what I was into...
:28:16
...he would never like anything like that.
:28:18
But he just loved it to death.
:28:20
I wanted to get up and go to the bathroom,
he would grab me by my arm, you know...
:28:24
...like I'm going to miss this part.
:28:27
"Listen", you know.
:28:29
Okay, like I couldn't miss it, you know.
:28:32
You could hear it to 42nd Street,
you know.
:28:34
We almost got put out of the building
behind Dylan.
:28:37
He'd never realized that most...
:28:41
...of the recording stars...
:28:46
...like Dylan, don't have...
:28:49
...an incredible singing voice.
:28:52
And he would never, ever,
let anybody watch him putting vocals on.
:28:56
He was very shy about his voice.
:28:58
He thought he had the worst voice
in the world.
:29:00
We used to put a line of screens up
and we'd stick him behind there.
:29:04
He'd poke his head out, say, "All right."
:29:06
He was very self-conscious.
:29:08
Very self-conscious about the things
that he wore...
:29:11
...because he was kind of different,
you know, kind of freaky.
:29:15
Especially in comparison to a lot
of the brothers uptown at that time.
:29:19
So, he was very sensitive to the places
that he liked to be.
:29:24
He figured that most people would tolerate
him a little more over here, down here.
:29:29
He'd just blend in with the crowd...
:29:31
...which he still didn't
'cause he always stood out.
:29:33
I told this record producer
there was this fantastic...
:29:37
...guitar player, singer, man...
:29:43
...playing in the Village,
and would he come listen...
:29:46
...because he's really going to like this.
:29:50
This is a very materialistic man.
:29:53
And he thought, "Right, good",
and he came down.
:29:58
He thought I was mad.
:29:59
He did not see what I was talking about.
