There's only one God. Call him whatever you want.
From Arlo Guthrie
We would turn everything into songs in those days.
Greed and globalization aren't just America's fault.
There are people all over the world who are willing to exploit others. You can't just point the finger at America.
The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living.
You get people talking about being worried about their art, and dances... their culture being wiped out or taken over, and yet these same people are taking advantage of their people to use them as cheap labour.
I don't do anything on stage that allows me to become a trained seal, where you're just doing the same thing over and over.
My only description for me is that there's no throwaway people. That's the creed that I live by. It doesn't matter if I'm singing or not. That's the kind of person that my father and mother wanted me to be. The end obligation is to make people feel good about who they are.
My mother had introduced me to a lot of my father's friends because she believed that I would get to know the guy my dad was better through his friends than just in the hospital visits.
People were talking about songs of the common man in order to make the common man. With Woody Guthrie and Lead Belly, they were so common it was just uncommon.
