1965 Bob Dylan Press Conference
“I just know, in my own mind, that we all have a different idea of all the words we’re using. You really can’t take it too seriously. Like if I say the word ‘house’ we’re both gonna see a different house. Like if I just say the word, right? So, we’re using all these other words, like ‘mass production’ and ‘movie magazine.’ We all have a different idea of these words, too. So, I don’t really know what we’re saying here.” -Dylan “What do you bother to write the poetry for if we all get different images, and we don’t know what you’re talking about?” “Cause I’ve got nothing else to do, man.” -Dylan
How do you feel, Bill?
The Federal Government did not feel the need to allow any scientific study of the influence of marijuana until 1967. The first study was filmed, and (to me) was as funny as that beautiful scene from Pineapple Express.
Responding to flash cards: “Defiant? Not at all. Buuusinesslike? …..Nooot at aaaalll. Sheesh. FRIENDly? Ah, extremely.”
“Would you be interested in taking part in a study like this again, and having the same type of drug?”
His face lights up as he proceeds to interrupt the doctors’ further attempts to speak: ”Oooh, sure. Any- I’ll do it ANY time you want. Aaaany time at all. Just call me. Any time at day or night.”
