I'd heard a rumor that
Pete was going to cut the cable.

:56:07
And I heard it later, you know.
And it was like, it didn't make sense to me.

:56:11
Like, Pete Seeger, like someone
whose music I cherish, you know.

:56:15
Like someone who I highly respect
is going to cut the cable.

:56:18
It was like, "Oh, God". It was like...
:56:21
It was like a dagger, you know, it was...
:56:23
Just the thought of it was, you know...
:56:26
made me go out and get drunk.
:56:28
Strike another match
:56:30
Go start anew
:56:35
And it's all over now
:56:38
Baby Blue
:57:04
I remember seeing Bob
later on that evening...

:57:06
looking kind of blue, as though he hadn't...
:57:09
Hadn't made the point
that he wanted to make properly.

:57:12
He didn't want to feel that he was
limited here or limited there.

:57:17
He wanted to do something
with the Butterfield Blues Band.

:57:20
And it was great.
:57:23
Every night, after the concerts,
the festival people would have a party.

:57:27
And Bob was sitting in the corner,
I guess, thinking about what had happened.

:57:31
I said, "Hey, Bob. Do you want to dance?"
And he looked up at me and said:

:57:35
"I'd dance with you, Maria,
but my hands are on fire".

:57:39
And it's sort of like... That was
a cryptic remark, but I kind of knew...

:57:44
exactly what he meant, you know. So I said,
"Okay, man," and I just left him alone.

:57:48
We want Dylan!
:57:55
A couple of months later,
he played Forest Hills.

:57:58
There, the first half was acoustic,
the second half was rock 'n' roll.
