I was riding on the Mayflower
when I thought I spied some land

:31:10
He was playing all by himself, at first.
:31:13
And then he stopped
and everybody laughed...

:31:16
and then two seconds later,
he started it again...

:31:20
and everybody came in just "bang,"
like gangbusters.

:31:23
I was riding on the Mayflower
when I thought I spied some land

:31:28
I yelled for Captain Arab
I have you understand

:31:32
Who came running to the deck
Said, "Boys forget the whale

:31:36
"Look on over yonder
Cut the engines change the sail

:31:41
Haul on the bowline"
We sang that melody

:31:45
Like all tough sailors do
When they're far away at sea

:31:50
I mean, the whole culture
has moved and changed.

:31:52
This is really what we're announcing.
:31:53
The entire culture, both in America
and England has changed.

:31:55
There's a whole new generation
that's grown up, everybody.

:31:58
Do people at the Museum of Modern Art...
:32:00
and the Metropolitan know about this,
do you think?

:32:02
Do they know that culture has changed,
that there's a new generation?

:32:05
Well, they have been in the foreground...
:32:06
of showing all this new pop art themselves,
you know.

:32:08
Warhol will be there in Albert Hall,
and Warhol's on the walls...

:32:11
of the Museum of Modern Art
for the last five years.

:32:21
There were signs of new life,
of another generation picking up...

:32:24
a revolution in consciousness.
A bloodless revolution.

:32:27
You know, like the first revolution
that never shed any blood.

:32:31
That was the important thing.
:32:32
I had just been kicked out of Cuba...
:32:34
for just talking privately...
:32:35
about Castro's persecution of gay people.
:32:39
Then went to Czechoslovakia,
was elected King of May on May Day.

:32:44
A week later was kicked out by the Minister
of Education and deported to London...

:32:48
and then I landed around the time
of Dylan's concerts at Albert Hall.

:32:53
There was a very exciting scene,
back at the hotel...

:32:57
and Dylan was down the hall
with the Beatles.
