A Complete Unknown - Defying Expectations in Folk Music Performance
Bob Dylan:
I don't think they want to hear what I want to play.
Johnny Cash:
Who's they?
Bob Dylan:
You know, the people who decide what folk music is or isn't.
Johnny Cash:
Fuck them, I wanna hear you. Go track some mud on somebody's carpet. Make some noise, B.D.

A Complete Unknown - Reflections on Fame and Friendship
Bob Dylan: [in voiceover reading the letter he's writing to Johnny Cash on an airplane]
Dear Johnny, Thanks for that letter. I am now famous -- famous by the rules of public famiosity. It snuck up on me and pulverized me. To quote Mr. Freud, I get quite paranoid.
Johnny Cash: [in voiceover reading the letter he's writing to Dylan on an airplane.]
Bob -- Got your letter. Tonight I sit in the wake of one more hard rain. I was in New York last week. Saw a bunch of folk singers that couldn't hold a chigger on your ass. Well, I'll see you in Newport come spring. Until then, track mud on somebody's carpet.
