:28:14
I was just learning songs
and playing them...
:28:16
and trying to find out
who Woody Guthrie was.
:28:20
Woody's records
were almost impossible to find.
:28:23
They didn't have any of his records
in the record stores.
:28:27
Paul was a folk music scholar.
He didn't play at all.
:28:30
He had a whole lot of records...
:28:32
which probably couldn't be found
anywhere else in the Midwest...
:28:35
except at Paul's house,
and he lived there with somebody else.
:28:40
You know, I was listening to records
at his house once.
:28:43
I knew they'd be away for the weekend...
:28:45
so I went over there and helped myself
to a bunch of old records.
:28:51
About 25 records disappeared,
mostly the stuff that Dylan was listening to.
:28:56
And we sort of figured out
that he'd taken them.
:28:59
Those records were extremely hard to find.
They were like hen's teeth.
:29:03
If you came across them,
somebody like myself...
:29:06
who was a musical expeditionary...
:29:09
you know, you just would have to
immerse yourself in them.
:29:12
So we started trying to track Dylan down.
:29:14
We tried the fraternity house
where he had once been.
:29:17
No luck there. We got another address,
and then yet another.
:29:21
And everybody said,
"Boy, this kid must be popular," you know.
:29:23
"You're about the tenth guy looking for him"
you know, at every place we went.
:29:27
And I don't know how we finally found him,
but we got a current apartment.
:29:31
This was a John Wayne production number,
that John did.
:29:34
He got a bowling pin,
and he got a big cigar...
:29:37
and John was 6'4" or something like this.
:29:43
And he wasn't ever intending to hit Dylan
with the bowling pin or anything...
:29:46
but he was really gonna do the bit.
:29:48
John just started waving the bowling pin
over his head, and just saying:
:29:52
"I'm gonna beat the hell out of you.
Where are my records?"
:29:55
And Dylan was very scared
for the first time around this routine went.
:29:59
But he maintained his cool somehow...
