>> THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING.
I'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF CLEANING WITH THE KIDS, CLEANING
OUT THE ATTIC GLI HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU YOU MIGHT BE
ABLE TO HELP ME WITH.
YOU PLAYED BOB DYLAN.
>> I KNOW.
>> Stephen: A IN "I'M NOT THERE" YOU PLAYED BOB DYLAN AND I HAVE
A BEEF WITH BOB DYLAN RIGHT NOW.
I WANTED TO DO A PARODY OF SUBTERRANEAN HOME SICK BLUES IN
RESPONSE TO BOB DYLAN PUTTING OUT THE ALBUM ABOUT JOHN
KENNEDY.
YOU YOU ARE A GOOD ENOUGH ACTOR TO UNDERSTAND WHERE HE'S COMING
FROM.
WHY WOULDN'T BOB LET ME DO IT?
>> I THINK IT'S THE WORD "PARODY."
IF YOU SAID YOU WANT TO INHABIT --
>> Stephen: A CELEBRATION.
A CELEBRATION?
>> WORDS MATTER TO DYLAN.
>> Stephen: DAMN POETS AND THEIR WORDS.
>> "I WANT TO MAKE FUN OF YOUR SONG!"
>> Stephen: I WANT TO PERSONALLY MOCK AND YOU YOUR
ENTIRE WORK.
DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE DYLAN LYRIC?
>> I THINK IT'S "SOME OF US ARE PRISONERS AND SOME OF US ARE
GUARDS," I GUESS.
>> Stephen: I'VE ALWAYS LOVED FROM "TAMBOURINE MAN" WHERE HE
SAYS, "MY WEARINESS AMAZES ME.
I AM BRANDED ON MY FEET."
>> YEAH... YEAH... GLI JUST LOVE PHRASE, "I AM BRANDED ON MY
FEET."
PLEASE-- >> NO, NO, YOU GO.
>> Stephen: I ALSO LIKE "UP TO ME," WHEN HE SAYS I MET-- "I MET
A GIRL FACE TO FACE.
I HAD TO REMOVE MY HAT.
SHE'S EVERYTHING I NEED AND LOVE, BUT I CAN'T BE FAZED BY
THAT.
IT FRIGHTENS ME, THE OFFTRUTH HOW SWEET LIFE CAN BE.
SHE AIN'T GOING TO MAKE A MOVE.
I GUESS IT WILL BE UP TO ME.
CUT I ALWAYS LOVED IT FRIGHTENS ME THE AWFUL TRUTH OF HOW SWEET
LIFE CAN BE.
TOW MOO IT'S AN ACCUSATION OF LIFE HOW SWEET YOURS COULD BE IF
YOU DO THE THINGS YOU SHOULD DO.
>> YES, IT'S SO-- HE'S SO ELLIPTICAL.
BUT THE AMAZING THING ABOUT DYLAN IS THERE ARE CERTAIN SONGS
WHICH YOU SORT OF-- YOU APPRECIATE BUT YOU SKIM BY.
AND THERE'S ALWAYS A POINT IN YOUR LIFE WHERE SUDDENLY, IT'S
LIKE SEEING THOSE-- THOSE VERY FRUSTRATING 3D DRAWINGS-- AND
IT'S TIGER BEER!
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU SEE THE TIGER.
THERE ARE SO MANY OF HIS SONGS THAT ARE LIKE THAT.
I THINK "DON'T THINK TWICE" IS ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE
DYLAN SONGS AND I CANNOT TELL YOU WHY.
"YOU JUST KIND OF WASTED MY PRECIOUS TIME.
IT'S ALREADY."
I THINK IT'S THE INSOWBSIANCE I FIND SO ATTRACTIVE.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A BREAK BUT WE'LL BE BACK AFTER
THESE COMMERCIALS WITH MORE OF THE GREAT CATE BLANCHETT.
STICK AROUND.
