The answer is blowin' in the wind
1:13:09
How could he write:
1:13:12
"How many roads must a man walk down
before you call him a man?"
1:13:15
This is what my father went through.
1:13:18
He was the one
who wasn't called a man, you know.
1:13:22
So, where is he coming from?
1:13:25
White people don't have hard times.
1:13:27
This was my thinking back then,
because I was a kid, too.
1:13:31
What he was writing was inspirational...
1:13:34
you know, they were inspirational songs.
1:13:37
And they would inspire.
It's the same as gospel.
1:13:41
He was writing truth.
1:13:42
By writing good songs...
1:13:45
and writing about contemporary ideas
in traditional forms, which I understood.
1:13:50
And made it like was written today...
1:13:53
but it sounded like it could have been
written 200 years ago, also.
1:13:56
It sounded current and old
at the same time.
1:13:59
So it wasn't just like singing songs
the way Pete Seeger would sing it...
1:14:04
you know, 'cause it's important
that you sing these songs.
1:14:06
He sang songs that affected us.
1:14:10
Well, it ain't no use to sit
and wonder why, babe
1:14:15
If'n you don't know by now
1:14:18
And it ain't no use to sit
and wonder why, babe
1:14:23
It'll never do, somehow
1:14:27
When your rooster crows
at the break of dawn
1:14:32
Look out your window and I'll be gone
1:14:36
You're the reason I'm travelin' on
1:14:39
But don't think twice, it's all right
1:14:47
Neither one of us had a fixed place to live,
we were both a bit nomadic.
1:14:52
So we kind of had
this private little existence, in a way.
1:14:58
I am leading a quiet life
on Lower East Broadway
