1:33:01
we were singing in Daffy's Bar and Grill
on the outskirts of Cleveland...

1:33:04
and decided to take a sabbatical.
1:33:07
Lee says, it turned
into a Mond-ical and a Tuesd-ical.

1:33:11
By the time McCarthy,
I think, started to wane...

1:33:14
the folk music thing started to come up.
1:33:17
I say it's in the interest of every human
being in the United States of America...

1:33:21
to get some good senators
out of Mississippi for a change.

1:33:23
And you can do it,
and you will do it soon, I know.

1:33:55
I got him to go with
Pete and Theodore Bikel...

1:33:58
as they were both going down to the South.
1:34:00
The day Medgar Evers
was buried from the bullet he caught

1:34:06
And I encouraged him to go with them
and he did, as part of an education.

1:34:11
The Civil Rights Movement
was in full swing...

1:34:14
and there was a big field
outside Greenwood...

1:34:17
with several hundred people.
1:34:18
I heard some speechifying there
that I'll never forget in all my life.

1:34:23
And I remember Bob singing a song
which really caused people to think.

1:34:28
He's Only a Pawn in The Game.
1:34:31
He was singing about the man
who killed Medgar Evers.

1:34:34
In other words,
don't just think of this one man...

1:34:38
who did this murder,
but think of the whole situation.

1:34:42
To be on the side of people
who are struggling for something...

1:34:44
doesn't necessarily mean
you are being political.

1:34:47
Oh, my name it ain't nothin'
1:34:51
My age it means less
1:34:54
The country I come from
1:34:57
Is called the Midwest
