:15:00
Well, it ain't no use
to sit and wonder why, baby

:15:06
If you don't know by now
:15:09
Johnny Cash was more like
a religious figure to me.

:15:13
And there he was at Newport,
you know, standing side by side.

:15:17
Meeting him was the high thrill of a lifetime.
:15:19
And, just the fact
that he had sung one of my songs...

:15:22
was just unthinkable.
:15:26
Johnny Cash and June Carter came by
after Bob had put a couple...

:15:30
three tunes on tape for him,
this little portable machine.

:15:33
Johnny called him out in the hall...
:15:36
and Bob came back in a few minutes later,
he was holding this guitar and he says:

:15:40
"He gave me his guitar".
:15:42
Neuwirth was saying,
"Wow, that's an old country tradition.

:15:44
"If somebody gives you a guitar,
that's a big honor, you know?"

:15:47
This is called Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man.
:15:51
"Please play a song for me".
:15:57
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me

:16:02
I'm not sleepy
and there is no place I'm going to

:16:08
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me

:16:13
In the jingle jangle morning
:16:15
I'll come following you
:16:22
Though I know that evening's empire
:16:26
has returned into sand
:16:29
Vanished from my hand
left me blindly here to stand

:16:33
but still not sleeping
:16:37
My weariness amazes me
:16:40
I'm branded on my feet
:16:43
I have no one to meet
:16:45
And the ancient empty streets
too dead for dreaming

:16:51
When Bob began to ignore topical material,
it bothered me...

:16:55
'cause he wrote such marvelous material,
you know?
