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.
1:37:02
"And they're gonna write what it's about".
1:37:04
Oh, the time will come up
1:37:06
When the winds will stop
1:37:08
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
1:37:13
Like the stillness in the wind
1:37:15
Before the hurricane begins
1:37:17
The hour that the ship comes in
1:37:21
And the sea will split
1:37:23
And the ships will hit
1:37:25
And the sands on the shoreline
will be shaking
1:37:28
Bob would write.
Just write and write and write.
1:37:31
And one time, we pulled into someplace...
1:37:33
and I was okay by then.
Bare feet or not, I was famous.
1:37:37
But this scruffy-looking guy I had with me...
1:37:40
and the people behind the desk
were having none of it...
1:37:42
and they said they didn't have a room.
1:37:45
And now, of course, I was livid...
1:37:47
and pulled all my punches,
and got him a room.
1:37:52
And he wrote a song
that just was devastating:
1:37:56
The Hour The Ship Comes In.
1:37:58
And I could see him hanging them all.
1:37:59
He'd never sort of fess up to that sort of
thing, but that's what it seemed like to me.
