PARTIAL TRANSRCRIPT FROM “THE INCENDIARY OPAL & NEV,” 60 MINUTES, JANUARY 21, 1973 Nev Charles, smoking a cigarette and seated next to Opal Jewel in the kitchen of the West Village house: It’s dangerous, yeah, to make art that has people stepping back and thinking critically about theworld and the institutions and the orders that we’ve allowed to have control over us. Someone’s always going to be upset; someone’s always going to feel implicated. Do you know that people, farmers guilty over the poor ways they treated their workers, they burned even the work of John Steinbeck? Steinbeck! Imagine! The Grapes of bloody Wrath! So yeah, some people out there do hate us and hate our records. But I suppose that’s the price, you know, of telling upsetting truths, as writers and artists are meant to do. Mike Wallace, off camera: Talk about that price you’re paying.Nev Charles: Oh, well. [To Opal] I hear clicks on the phone sometimes; do you?Opal Jewel: Death threats. We get death threats mailed to our label, to this house. Mike Wallace: Do you feel afraid that violence and danger follow you?
