- [Voiceover] Bob Dylan is, you must be 20 years old now
aren't you?
- [Voiceover] Yeah, I must be 20.
- [Voiceover] Are you?
- [Voiceover] Yeah, I'm 20, I'm 20.
3
My hands are cold.
It's a pretty cold studio.
4
- [Voiceover] The coldest studio.
- [Voiceover] Usually can do this.
5
There I just want to do it once.
- [Voiceover] When I first heard Bob Dylan
was, I think, about three years ago in Minneapolis.
- [Voiceover] At that time I was just sort of doing nothing.
I was there
working, I guess.
I was making pretend I was going to school out there.
I'd just come there from South Dakota.
- [Voiceover] You've sung now at Goody's here in town.
Have you sung at any of the coffee houses?
- [Voiceover] Yeah, I played my harmonica
for this guy there who was singing,
he gave me a dollar
to play for the day with him from
2:00 in the afternoon until 8:30 at night
he gave me a dollar
plus a cheeseburger.
- [Voiceover] And you've been writing songs as long as you've been singing, huh?
- [Voiceover] Yeah, actually, I guess you could say that.
Are these French ones, huh?
- [Voiceover] No, they're healthy cigarettes.
Healthy because they've got a long filter and no tobacco.
- [Voiceover] That's kind of neat.
- [Voiceover] And now you're doing a record for Columbia.
- [Voiceover] Yeah, it's coming out in March.
- [Voiceover] What's it going to be called?
6
- [Voiceover] Bob Dylan, I think.
- [Voiceover] That's a novel title for a record.
- [Voiceover] Yeah, it's pretty strange.
(guitar strumming)
- [Voiceover] No one's ever seen Bob Dylan without his hat
except when he's putting on his necklace.
Is there a more dignified name for that thing?
- [Voiceover] Harmonica holder.
- [Voiceover] Oh, I think necklace is better than that.
- [Voiceover] You haven't been playing the harmonica for too long, have you?
- [Voiceover] Yeah, I've been playing harmonica for a long time
I just never had,
I couldn't play them at the same time.
I used to have to play with a coat hanger.
That never really held out so good.
I used to put tape around it, you know.
-yeah(7) -It used to hold out pretty good.
There are smaller harmonicas than these.
There about this far
and I just put them in my mouth.
But I got bad teeth
you know, and there's some kind of thing back there
kind of thing back there, there's a filling or something.
I don't know what it was in there but it used to magnify it
oh yes(8)
not magnify but magnet. (9：and？ you know)(你看着改一下)
Man, the whole harmonica would go wham, you know,
drop in my mouth like that.
So I couldn't hold onto my teeth very much.
Let's see if I can find a key here to do this one.
I wrote this one a long time ago.
Never do this.
- [Voiceover] How long were you with the carnival?
- [Voiceover] I was with the carnival off and on,
six years?
- [Voiceover] What were you doing?
- [Voiceover] Oh, just about everything.
I was a clean up boy.
I used to
啊
be on the main line
on the Ferris wheel, just run rides.
- [Voiceover] Didn't that interfere with your schooling?
- [Voiceover] Well, I skipped a bunch of things
and I didn't go to school a bunch of years and I
skipped this and I skipped that.
（10）
It all came out even, though.
I'll tune this one, it's an open E.（open E应该是调名）
- [Voiceover] Oh I get one
I get two of them.
啊
- [Voiceover] Actually, I wrote a song once
I'm trying to find
about this lady I knew in the carnival.
And they had a freak show in it, you know
the midgets and that kind of stuff.
Well, there was one lady in there
really bad shape,
like her skin had been
all burned and she was a little baby
you know, and it didn't grow right
and so she was like a freak.
And all these people would pay money, you know
to see
and that really sort of got me.
That's a funny thing about them
I know how those people think
they want to sell you stuff, you know.
Spectators
like they sell little cards of themselves for like 10 cents
you know, they've got a picture on it and it's got some story.
And here they are on stage
they want to make you have two thoughts.
They want to make you think
that they don't feel bad about themselves
and also they want to make you feel sorry for them（her？）.
I always liked that And I wrote a song for her.
It was called, "Won't You Buy a Postcard?"
Can't remember that one, though.

- [Voiceover] You've been listening to Bob Dylan
(13)
and thank you very, very much for coming down here
(14)
and working so hard.
(15)
- [Voiceover] It's my pleasure to come in.
- [Voiceover] When you're rich and famous you going to wear the hat too?
- [Voiceover] I'm never going to become rich and famous.

- [Voiceover] Bob, do you make up a song before
breakfast every day or before supper?
- [Voiceover] Sometimes I can go about two weeks without making up a song.
- [Voiceover] I don't believe it.
- [Voiceover] Yeah, but then sometimes,
I write a lot of stuff.
In fact, I wrote five songs last night.
But I gave all the papers away.
I don't even consider even writing songs.
I don't, when I've written it
I don't even consider that I wrote it when I got done.
The song was there before me
before I came along,
I just sort of came down
and just sort of took it down with a pencil
but it was all there before I came around.
That's the way I feel about it.
