Blowin’ in the Wind
“Sometimes we have to sort of re-examine classical values. Caring about one another, helping each other, wanting a better, safer world--those are values that haven’t changed for thousands of years. . . . I have a sort of sampler in my head that—paraphrasing the rabbinical scholar—says, ‘It’s not your duty to finish the task, it is your duty not to neglect it.’ If war and hunger and racism were easy things to get rid of, I would assume we would have gotten rid of them already. . . . The nice thing about folk music is that if you don’t get it today, it’ll wait for you. The music has power; that’s why it survives. It just has to be passed on.”
