[You Got To Make It Through The World] it's kind of a survival song. Survival is what's happening and it's basically a song about that.

I never, ever said that I was a nice guy.

I'd come to the point where I wasn't really putting out creatively. I didn't seem to have anything to say in that period of time after the '74 tour. There was nothing definite that I wanted to record.
