The police have got Mario,
they are pulling him away.

:19:09
The police have pulled Mario away...
:19:11
All of us felt that those folks
before didn't get it.

:19:15
We were surrounded...
:19:18
by people who were insensitive
to the need for change.

:19:22
And that's why Peter, Paul and Mary,
and Bob Dylan, Joan Baez...

:19:25
all of whom were about the same age,
were put in positions of leadership...

:19:29
because there was an identification
amongst the college students.

:19:34
I felt it all over America.
:19:36
You know, wherever in America you went,
you felt that things were happening...

:19:40
in an Olympian type of way...
:19:42
in which children were beyond
their parents' command.

:19:44
He tried to exercise free speech...
:19:48
Sometime around that period of time
I was painting in Berkeley...

:19:52
and the phone rang,
and I think this was 1964.

:19:54
The phone rang, it was Bob and he said:
:19:56
"I have to do these shows,
you want to come?"

:19:58
I said, "Well, I'm painting pictures".
:20:00
He said, "I'll buy you a leather jacket,"
and he said, "all the paint you need".

:20:04
The next thing I knew, you know,
I got on a plane...

:20:07
and I flew to New York.
:20:09
In those days, artistic success...
:20:14
was not dollar-driven.
:20:18
It was, you know...
Those were simpler times.

:20:21
If you had something to say,
which was the...

:20:26
Basically, the way people were rated...
:20:28
you know, they'd say:
"Have you seen Ornette Coleman?

:20:31
"Does he have anything to say?"
:20:32
And it was the same with, like...
With Bob or anybody else.

:20:35
Do they have anything to say or not?
:20:37
Darkness at the break of noon
Shadows even the silver spoon

:20:41
The handmade blade, the child's balloon
:20:43
Eclipses both the sun and moon
To understand you know too soon

:20:47
There is no sense in trying
:20:57
As pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
:20:59
Suicide remarks are torn
From the fool's gold mouthpiece
