that we were sharing with folk music...
:50:04
when you've got
those electric instruments going.

:50:07
The moment you've got drums there,
everything has got to come up in level.

:50:16
The sound was a bit harsh.
:50:18
But we thought it was way cool.
:50:20
And what we noticed was...
:50:23
about a third of the audience
was booing, which was unheard of...

:50:26
not in all our days of seeing...
:50:28
whatever kind of show
had we ever seen that.

:50:33
I remember understanding
that drugs were bad and alcohol was bad...

:50:37
and rock 'n' roll was wicked
and sex was bad.

:50:41
And so I thought, "Oh, my goodness,
how depraved this is all getting".

:50:45
All right!
:50:48
I was thinking that somebody was shouting,
"Are you with us? Are you with us?"

:50:52
And, you know,
I don't know what that, you know, like...

:50:55
What was that supposed to mean?
:50:57
I had no idea why they were booing.
:50:59
I don't think anybody was there
having a negative response to those...

:51:04
songs, though.
:51:06
I mean, whatever it was about,
it wasn't about...

:51:10
anything that they were hearing.
:51:12
Well, he hands you a nickel
Hands you a dime

:51:16
Asks you with a grin
if you're having a good time

:51:20
And he fines you every time
you slam the door

:51:23
I ain't gonna work
for Maggie's brother no more

:51:27
You could not understand the words.
:51:29
And I was frantic.
I said, "Get that distortion out".

:51:33
It was so raspy,
you could not understand a word.

:51:37
And I ran over to the sound system,
"Get that distortion out of Bob's voice".

:51:41
"No, this is the way they want to have it".
:51:43
I said, "God damn it, it's terrible.
You can't understand it.

:51:46
"If I had an axe,
I'd chop the mike cable right now".

:51:50
Oh, you've gone to the finest school
all right, Miss Lonely

:51:54
but you know you only used to get
juiced in it

:51:59
Nobody's ever taught you how to live
out on the street
