guestlev, here's an excerpt from Dylan's speech: Charlie Poole from North Carolina had a song that connected to all this. It's called "You Ain't Talkin' to Me," and the lyrics go like this: I saw a sign in a window walking up town one day. Join the army, see the world is what it had to say. You'll see exciting places with a jolly crew, You'll meet interesting people, and learn to kill them too. Oh you ain't talkin' to me, you ain't talking to me. I may be crazy and all that, but I got good sense you see. You ain't talkin' to me, you ain't talkin' to me. Killin' with a gun don't sound like fun. You ain't talkin' to me. Now, I have found various websites giving the lyrics of Poole's song, and they don't all give the same set of stanzas, but I don't think I found any that give this stanza. So maybe Dylan was confused, or maybe I just haven't found the right website, I don't know.
