To Bobby - Joan Baez

/ part 1

A clip of Joan Baez discussing her song “To Bobby” on the tv show, ‘Underground,’ June 1972.

“Joan Baez recorded a protest song about me that was getting big play, challenging me to get with it—come out and take charge, lead the masses—be an advocate, lead the crusade. The song called out to me from the radio like a public service announcement.” ---Bob Dylan, Chronicles: Volume One.

“Actually I wrote a song to Dylan...He’s very funny I gotta admit, before I finished this song I had a line in it, which I took out, because it wasn’t any good. It said, “Will you listen to the lambs Bobby, they’re crying for you.” And what I meant was like you know, these little kids are dropping dead all over the world need us and it was including Bobby. But it sounded like “All us ‘peaceniks’ need you back at the fort Dylan so abandon your wife and come with us.” 

So anyway I had already changed the words and I talked to him for the first time in four years, and somebody had already printed the damn song with that lousy verse in it. So I said, “Hi, Bobby,” and he says, “Hey, Hi, I heard that lousy song---it’s really terrible,” I said, “Thank you---just what a young, new songwriter needs for confidence.” And he said “Hey, ‘Listen to the lambs Bobby’ that’s a terrible line, it’s really terrible. Hey, I wrote an answer, “Listen to the turkeys Joanie, gobble-gobble-gobble.” Anyhow...the ‘ole son of a bitch.”
