We Need To Have Faith In The

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.

Peace Might Sell, But Who's Buying?

Back Then I Was Still Listening To Rhythm And Blues, And My Aunt Took Me To See A Pete Seeger Concert. And It Gelled. He Made All The Sense In The World To Me. I Got Addicted To His Albums, And Then Belafonte And Odetta - They Were The People Who Seemed To Fuse Things That Were Important To Me Into Music. I Think Pete The Most Because He Did What He Did To The Point Where He Took Those Enormous Risks And Then Paid For Them.

I Wasn't Popular In School, I Was Mexican, I Was All These Inappropriate Things. I Started Playing The Ukulele And Taking It To School, And I Realized People Liked Listening To It. I Would Play It To Comfort Myself At Home, And I'd Play Rhythm And Blues Songs That Had Four Chords. That's How It Started.

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.
