capri0mniFrom a radio segment on NPR, aired on All Things Considered May 22, 2002.
The full report, in RealAudio (and lasting a little over 10 minutes), can be heard here. This is the piece that highlights "Swimming to the Other Side," that I linked to the other day.
This quote comes from the end of that report:
"No one well-known ever recorded, or played ["This Land is Your Land,"] on the radio -- just went from one person to another, one guitar picker to another ... And this is one of my hopes for the world -- I'm very serious. The Powers That Be can control the media: the print media, the airwaves... but ... it's hard for them to stop a good song. So I feel encouraged. I think the human race has a good chance at succeeding, in spite of the really basic foolishness of most of the people who control the world. It's hard for them to control what people say or sing to each other."
