:24:05
Go away from my window
:24:09
Leave at your own chosen speed
:24:12
A typical evening.
:24:14
I guess there would be soundcheck.
:24:17
And there would be me
dealing with what kind of mood...
:24:20
Bob was going to be in.
:24:22
I was already doing that, you know.
:24:25
And when he was cheerful and up,
it was just spectacular.
:24:29
And if he was dark,
there wasn't any way to reach him.
:24:31
But always strong
:24:34
Bob seemed to ignore
whatever was coming towards him.
:24:38
He could literally, and I'd seen him do it...
:24:40
turn his back and play a whole song,
play two songs.
:24:43
Fiddling around with the equipment
on the stage.
:24:45
And never even look at the public...
:24:47
and it doesn't make the slightest bit
of difference in the magnetic draw.
:24:51
It's as though the public wasn't even there...
:24:53
he's just going to do what he's going to do,
and he has to change.
:24:55
And he has to keep moving, and he has to
add this and he has to crank the sound.
:24:59
If you ever work with him, if he did
this song the night before as a waltz...
:25:02
tonight he's gonna do it in 2/4 time,
just to fuck you up, you know?
:25:06
And so,
with somebody who moves like that...
:25:09
I now see it, that it's very unique...
:25:14
and it's admirable, and it's a pain in the ass
if you're trying to work with him.
:25:17
Or it's a pain in the ass if you were
expecting something else from him.
:25:20
If everybody really listened
to his own conscience...
:25:23
and really acted upon what he thought
was right and wrong...
:25:26
rather than being so hopelessly passive...
:25:29
which I think just about everybody is.
:25:31
I think it's probably the main disease...
:25:33
is the passivity, where we will listen
to whatever anybody else says.
:25:37
It's Daddy, and Mommy, and schoolteacher,
and Sunday school teacher, and President.
:25:45
This is what the war in Vietnam is all about.
:25:52
The old and the very young.
:25:55
The Marines have burned
this old couple's cottage...
:25:59
because fire was coming from here.
