My job, is to show folks there's a lot of good music in this world, and if used right it may help to save the planet.

I still prefer to hear [Bob] Dylan acoustic, some of his electric songs are absolutely great. Electric music is the vernacular of the second half of the twentieth century, to use my father's old term.

Honest songs aren`t written for money.

Many Americans knew their lives and their souls were being struggled for, and they fought for it. And I felt I should carry on.

I came along and was a teenager in the Depression, and nobody had jobs. So I went out hitchhiking, when I met a man named Woody Guthrie. He was the single biggest part of my education.

If you love this land of the free, bring them home, bring them home, Bring them back from overseas.
