Amazingly Talented Singer Who Sang Like An Angry Angel

Then About 12 Years Ago It Dawned On Me That Folk Music - The Music Of Woody Guthrie And Phil Ochs, Early Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Pete Seeger - Could Be As Heavy As Anything That Comes Through A Marshall Stack. The Combination Of Three Chords And The Right Lyrical Couplet Can Be As Heavy As Anything In The Metallica Catalogue.

It Was Like University Of Illinois, A Fine Institution, Was The Sort Of The Upper Echelon Of Places Where Kids Went From That School. And So I Felt Sort Of A Duty To Myself And My Peers To Continue With Those Studies, And To Continue To, Intellectually Arm Myself For My Coming Struggles.
