00:00:00.990 --> 00:00:03.960 align:middle line:90%
"Leadbelly."

00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:05.910 align:middle line:84%
"You could actually
hear it in his voice.

00:00:05.910 --> 00:00:08.130 align:middle line:84%
Sometimes the only
way to discuss it

00:00:08.130 --> 00:00:10.740 align:middle line:84%
is to grip a guitar as if
it were somebody's throat

00:00:10.740 --> 00:00:11.910 align:middle line:90%
and pluck.

00:00:11.910 --> 00:00:14.280 align:middle line:84%
If there were a ship
off of this planet,

00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:17.130 align:middle line:84%

could show its other face,

00:00:17.130 --> 00:00:18.930 align:middle line:84%

could walk, just

00:00:18.930 --> 00:00:21.810 align:middle line:84%
walk without dogged air at
your heels at your back.

00:00:21.810 --> 00:00:23.700 align:middle line:90%
Don't you think he'd choose it?

00:00:23.700 --> 00:00:26.520 align:middle line:90%
Meanwhile, here's the tune.

00:00:26.520 --> 00:00:27.810 align:middle line:90%
Bad luck.

00:00:27.810 --> 00:00:29.400 align:middle line:90%
Empty pockets.

00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:33.500 align:middle line:84%
Trouble walking your
way with its tin ear."
