Well, It Seems That One Day Dylan Was Drivin' Up To San Francisco From New Orleans Or Somewhere, When Our Record [house Of The Rising Sun] Came Over His Radio. When It Was Announced He Said To Joan Baez -- Who Was With Him At The Time -- 'this'll Be The First Time I've Heard This Version', Although It Was Number One In The States. So He Listened To It, Stopped The Car, Ran Round The Car Five Times, Banged His Head On The Bumper And Began Leapin' About Shouting 'it's Great! It's Great!'

I'm Really Still A Child Of The Forties. I Still Think About It A Lot, About The Repercussions Of Armed Conflict. Until 1953 We Had Rationing. We Couldn't Buy Meat, We Couldn't Buy Pleasurable Goods Like Cigarettes And Sweets. I Didn't Starve - My Family Were Lucky - But I Knew What It Was Like Standing In Line Waiting For Foodstuffs.

I Tried To Reach The Combatants With My Music. I Tried To Turn My Anger Into Something Positive. Myself, And Others Like Me, Just Tried To Keep Rock And Roll Alive.
