	Autumn 2001- Chicago Interview (1m) Chicago TV did a Staples' doucmentary which Included two snippets of Bob, taken from an interview he did when in Chicago. He's sitting in front of a window in his hotel room, in his usual concert dress, including black stetson. The two quotes go like this: "Pop's tremelo sound not only was...made the listener tremble and shake, while others' tremelo sounds didn't quite achieve that. But Pop made you feel the trembling that was inside you, inside yourself." and later "There was no telling which way they were going to go. They were completely unpredictable. Every song was different..." He was obviously cut off mid stream, so there's probably more of this on video tape somewhere in Chicago if anyone has any connections there.
