I'm much further to the left of them than I used to be, but that's because they've moved, not me. | | In that sense, I became politicized because the people in the coal mining villages who were involved in the struggle knew why they were there. But they couldn't understand why some pop star from London would want to be there. | | I came into this whole business by going to see Rock Against Racism gigs with the Clash. | | I try and write honestly about what I see around me now. | | But, in the end, even a song that's as politically bland as Blowin in the Wind, you probably wouldn't get up and sing that now, whereas some of Bob Dylan's love songs that were contemporary with that, like say Girl from the North Country, you can still get up an play now. |
