“I was always afraid for Bobby,” and “He didn’t seem to have the stage fright kind of fear. He seemed to submerge that and it came out in paranoia about people afterwards, like coming at him for autographs. He was so terrified,” said Baez.
Recalling a moment in which this fear arose in real life, Baez stated, “One time we got out of a limousine somewhere, when we were doing concerts together, and two girls came screaming, ‘There’s Bobby.’ They came screaming at him, and he said, ‘Oh, wow, let’s run,’ and I said, ‘You dumb a—, just stand here,’ and I took his hand, and he was like a little kid and they came up all hysterical and teary and I said, ‘Now stop acting so stupid and he’ll give you his autograph.’And then he calmed all down. They looked a little embarrassed. It was beautiful. I said, ‘Just talk to them a minute, Bobby,’ so he did. He gets control the minute he sees he can have it, but I think he genuinely was terrified of people like that.”
