People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. They are still being passed around - the music and the ideas.

Here's the thing with me and the religious thing. This is the flat-out truth: I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music. I don't find it anywhere else.

I became interested in folk music because I had to make it somehow.

Folk music is a bunch of fat people.

You can't imagine parlor ballads drifting out of high-rise multi-towered buildings. That kind of music existed in a more timeless state of life.
