1:35:00
I was taught and brought up there
1:35:04
The laws to abide
1:35:07
And that the land that I live in
1:35:11
Has God on its side
1:35:14
I would say that Bob was gifted,
and it was flowering.
1:35:17
He had a great desire to change the world.
1:35:20
We even talked about it.
1:35:22
We thought that segregation
wasn't gonna last...
1:35:24
and that we were gonna have
something to do with ending it.
1:35:27
We really believed
we were gonna have a part...
1:35:28
as songwriters in changing the world.
1:35:49
I had first laid eyes on Bob in Gerde's Folk
City.
1:35:53
I had been told about him.
1:35:55
"This guy's a genius
and he writes these incredible songs...
1:35:59
"and he admires Woody Guthrie,"
and all this stuff.
1:36:02
I was very dubious, you know...
1:36:04
when people raved
about somebody other than myself.
1:36:08
But I went, and sure enough...
1:36:10
he was everything
that they had said he was.
1:36:12
We both had our baby fat. That's what
I think of when I look at the early pictures.
1:36:15
Smooth skin, baby fat.
We were really young.
1:36:18
Bob looked like a ragamuffin.
1:36:20
Probably one of the things
I found so appealing about him.
1:36:23
He would bring out the mother instinct...
1:36:24
in a woman who thought
her mother instinct was dead.
1:36:27
He came out and stayed with me
in a beautiful house, in Carmel Valley.
1:36:32
Bob liked to write there.
1:36:34
And he would just stand,
tapping away at that typewriter.
1:36:37
He would always say,
"What do you think of this?"
1:36:39
And I wouldn't understand the thing at all,
but I loved it.
1:36:44
So I went, "Okay, I'm gonna figure
this one out". So I read through it.
1:36:47
And I gave back my interpretation
of what I thought it was about.
1:36:51
He said, "That's pretty fucking good".
1:36:53
He would say, "See now,
a bunch of years from now...
1:36:55
"all these people, all these assholes...
1:36:56
"are gonna be writing
about all the shit I write.
1:36:58
"I don't know where the fuck it comes from.
I don't know what the fuck it's about.
