What did you want to know about it?
1:03:01
Well, I'd like to know if
that's an equivalent photograph...

1:03:03
it means something.
It's got a philosophy in it.

1:03:08
And I'd like to know,
visually, what it represents to you.

1:03:11
Because you're a part of that.
1:03:18
I haven't really looked at it that much.
I don't really...

1:03:21
I've thought about it a great deal.
1:03:23
It was just taken one day,
when I was sitting on the steps, you know.

1:03:27
I don't really remember.
1:03:30
I don't worry too much about it.
1:03:32
But what about the motorcycle
as an image in your songwriting?

1:03:35
You seem to like that.
1:03:37
- Oh, we all like motorcycles to some degree.
- I do.

1:03:42
Do you prefer songs with a subtle
or obvious message?

1:03:45
- With a what?
- A subtle or obvious message.

1:03:48
With a message, you mean like...
What song with a message?

1:03:51
Well like Eve of Destruction
and things like that.

1:03:57
Do I prefer that to what?
1:04:00
I don't know, but your songs
are supposed to have a subtle message.

1:04:03
- A subtle message?
- Well, they're supposed to.

1:04:08
Where'd you hear that?
1:04:12
- In a movie magazine.
- Oh, my God!

1:04:17
Do you think of yourself primarily
as a singer or as a poet?

1:04:21
I think of myself more
as a song-and-dance man, you know.

1:04:26
Mr. Dylan, I know you dislike labels
and probably rightly so...

1:04:29
but for those of us who are well over 30...
1:04:33
could you label yourself
and perhaps tell us what your role is?

1:04:40
Well, I sort of label myself as well under 30.
1:04:46
And my role is to, you know,
to just stay here as long as I can.

1:04:54
You're considered by many people to be...
1:04:56
symbolic of the protest movement
in the country...

1:04:59
for the young people.
