There we were up on 57th Street. Huge, huge. So each time the album began more and more known, as the album became more what it is, it became an iconic album, the more I could detach from it and just look at it. Okay, that's what that is. But it was an odd feeling for many years.

That's nice because it's true. We did. We were very curious, and we were both in search of poetry. And we fed each other's curiosities. And I was—well, because I was from New York City also, you know, and he was from Hibbing, Minnesota.

So the fact that in New York you're exposed to a lot more, plus the family I came from, we were very—we didn't have much money, but we were very culturally—I always think of it as being culturally very, very wealthy because, you know, books we had—we didn't have a TV. Right. But the house was filled with books and phonograph records, and we listened to the radio.

I was exposed to all different kinds of music from a very early age. My mother loved Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, and Edith Piaf. And they listened to opera, classical records we had. It was very, very rich. And when you grow up in that, you just assume everybody else knows all this. But I knew an awful lot about music just from listening and hearing and being exposed to it.

Whereas with Bob, he was... He heard this music and knew this is what he wanted to investigate, but he had a harder time finding it and finding people. And there are stories now about when he was in Minnesota stealing people's records so he could learn the music on it. So he had a harder time finding things, whereas I was almost born into it.

He didn't want me to go, but at the same time, he didn't want to put pressure on me. But I learned later from a friend that he was furious when she said, well, you should go because this is a wonderful opportunity. And then he was very angry with her for a long time. But to me, he didn't want to come down hard.

He did say, don't go, but he didn't want to restrict me from considering going at the same time. And it was a difficult decision for me. I kept hemming and hawing on whether I should or shouldn't or whether I wanted to or not. It was difficult. Why did you go?
