The Easiest Kind Of Relationship

During The 'ballad' Years For Me, The Politics Was Latent; I Was Just Falling In Love With The Ballads And My Boyfriend. And There Was The Beauty Of The Songs.

Someone Had To Change The World. And Obviously I Was The One For The Job.

That Was Sheer Luck That It [being Immersed Into Folk Scene] Happened When My Voice Began To Develop. I Don't Know Exactly What Would Have Happened If I Hadn't Been Alive And Well And Really Lively In The Cambridge Scene. But (the Folk Scene) Was, And I Fell Into It Absolutely Naturally In The Little Coffee Shops, And Pretty Soon It Was Newport And Then It Was An Overwhelming Response Internationally, Actually.

I Didn't Study Anything Really. I Didn't Learn Out Of The Books Because I Couldn't Read Music Very Well, So It Is What They Say It Is - You Learn From Other People. And My Cohorts And I Would Sneak Around The Coffee Shops And Hear Stuff We Wanted To Learn, And Then You Ask Whoever Was Playing It To Teach You.

I'm A Badass. I Really Am. When You See Me Hanging With Snoop Doggy Dogg, I Am Perfectly At Home And Comfortable.
