It's one of the many things that makes that promo video interesting -
in both, there's a certain amount of messing around with time. He be
fuckin wid us, man.

Like Zimmerman always sez,

Now the rainman gave me two cures,
Then he said, "Jump right in."
The one was Texas medicine,
The other was just railroad gin.
An' like a fool I mixed them
An' it strangled up my mind,
An' now people just get uglier
An' I have no sense of time.
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.
