No one is interested in saving society anymore..it;s all about being socially personable to the powers that create madness.

Steve Allen was a good jazz pianist; there’s a famous TV performance where he plays behind Jack Kerouac while Jack reads live from ‘On The Road’. He and Kerouac made a great album called ‘Poetry For The Beat Generation.’ He’s introducing Bob to a wider, possibly older ‘hip’ audience here, and I think his long-windedness is due to his desire to do Bob justice during a period where a lot of people new to his music dismissed him with comments like ‘he can’t really sing’, and put-downs like that. Steve is saying, “This guy’s a poet, a genius, and you should really listen to him.” Bob will have been embarrassed, but I’ll bet he knew about Steve’s work with Kerouac and I’m sure he appreciated the way Steve clearly took him seriously.

It's likely that by Feb. 25,1964, Steve Allen had been to Leary's Millbrook estate for LSD excursions.

Seeing Bob shift in his seat and giggle and knowing how he’d not only reject everything being said about him but he’d throw it back in their face makes his shifts and giggles burst with irony.

It's extraordinary that every interview and performance and recording about and by Dylan remains interesting and educational. What a phenomenal human being. The one great poet before him that was truly incandescent was Arthur Rimbaud and there are but a couple of thin books of his poems and some biographic info but a hundred fifty years people who admired him searched for any new scrap of info about him. but with Dylan we have endless films and interviews and performances and albums and none of it ever gets old. Incredible.

According to the comments left here a lot of people wondered why the video went silent and, without reading the video description, wrote a complaining remark. When I was in high school a teacher of mine gave us an assignment which he wanted completed right away. The paper he gave us clearly said at the top to read the entire page before beginning to work. The page consisted of about twenty questions. Most every person in that class started answering the questions right away. A few of us actually read it through and the last question said to complete only that last question on the paper and we were done while everyone else was still laboring away answering every question. Moral of each -- always read the descriptions/instructions.

Good to see this! When people first heard Bob Dylan back then they were hearing something unlike anything they'd heard before in their lives, and it either blew their minds...or they just couldn't relate to it. Joan Baez recognized the great value of what Bob had to offer immediately on hearing him play, and she did everything she could to get him a larger audience. I love seeing footage of both of them from those early days. They were each absolutely extraordinary in their own particular way, and it led to a lot of wonderful stuff in the years that followed. I've always wondered if "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" was partly about Sara...and partly about Joan? Seems like it's about both of them to me, depending on which line and which part of what verse, but only Bob knows for sure. Joan certainly thought it was about her, as evidenced by her artwork inside the double album cover of "Any Day Now". It's not surprising that she would have. And yes...I know that he *said* later in the song "Sara" that he was "staying up all night in the Chelsea Hotel writing Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands for you" (meaning Sara)............but how often does Bob reveal....everything? :-) He keeps his cards pretty close to his chest, generally speaking, and I can understand why. It's better that way.

Well at least we got to hear the interview, but my goodness, what a rare treat to see a young artist so at one with his music and at his peak.

After 50 years of listening to it I always get the same visceral reaction to this song. Poet laureate indeed....

My father died in '68 but until then he exposed me to all sorts of interesting people. Steve Allen was one of them. I remember watching as a little girl and first seeing Bob Dylan. Seemed so shy. I had no clue this guy would become such a part of history! ❤️❤️❤️ Amazing.

I was thirteen. It was 1963 or 64. I fell asleep every night listening to the radio, a transistor radio. I listened to KSJO out of San Jose near to where my family lived. They played "folk music" (a genre which was already in transition); stuff like Judy Collins "Thirsty Boots", Judy Henske, Phil Ochs and this song, " The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll". Seems like they played Hattie Carroll every night. I fell in love with the melancholy of the tale of cruel and tragic injustice. The plaintive chord progression and Dylan's singing gripped me and started me backtracking on him and his music. My interest in him has continued to this day, some 55 years later. There are millions like me.

Thank you for uploading to the Daily Motion. I had never seen this. Dylan's first appearance on TV in the USA. He was still rather open to Steve Allen's dialogue and didn't go sullen like he would have just a few years later when he'd had enough. Bob Dylan was only twenty-two years old when this was filmed on February 25, 1964, he would turn 23 in June of 1964. JFK was murdered a few months earlier in Dallas on November 22, 1963, and the Beatles debuted on the Ed Sullivan show a few weeks earlier on February 9, 1964.

I read that it was his girlfriend of the time, Susie , who was a civil rights movement activist that sparked Dylan's songs like blowing in the wind etc,, without her influence he wouldn't have wrote them, as soon as they split up those sort of songs dried up and he went another route ( electric) . Fascinating!

bob dylan has an amazing talent to stay true to himself and his art. These two guys seem like they cant be from any two further world apart. Dylan looks pretty uncomfortable but keeps his focus and composer, he remains in his own world even though he is under great assault from another world, he's on tv! and he is in the hot seat being interviewed, he doesnt like that particularly except if it can help get his "message" out there...there is no message! It amazes me, pleasures me that bob while in a whole other universe from this guy manages to be gracious to him, kind, which is what his parents taught him, and answer his questions as he understands them, this shows a man of character, grace, self control, intelligence and strength. Am i blowing it out of proportion and writing nonsense? i dont think so. He at such a young age had so many questions but even at this point he had figured out how to do what he was going to do and wasnt going to placate to anyone or anything at this juncture. Why? cause he already paid his dues in silence, in isolation, when no one cared and no one was talking or watching him, he needs no applause, though he likes it and will take it , he measures himself by himself and thats what marks his career as a artist who is unecumbered by almost ANYTHING.

Like his songs, this 'joke' is multi-layered. Does changing the words make it no longer a 'true story'? He has to change the words so that they fit the metre and rythmn of the song, but actually he changes remarkably little (as also with "Hurricane" some years later). I'm also sure he was aware that turning a 'true story' into a song makes it much more potent - and the potency is in the words. The result is that Hattie Carroll's story is remembered (and seen as relevant) to this day. Baez got it right - he is good with words, and at keeping things vague!

"And you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears". I think it's the brilliance of Dylan's crafting of lines that make it so ripe for interpretation . Contemporaneously, it seems directed at a group of people, sympathetic but perhaps not fully engaged, yet still able to be reached. But I can help but hear that line, these days, directed at those certain privileged cynical folks who 1) dismiss the institution of slavery as little more than vocational training, and 2) disregard the very real plea of marginalized people that, particularly when dealing with law enforcement, their lives matter as much as anyone's.

What befuddles everybody is that Bob is self-taught, pretty sneaky too. Steve Allen seemed threatened like he was interrogating him.
