I heard a political message in rock music. A liberation message. A message of freedom. I heard it in Elvis' voice.
You can beat the drum so hard that people stop listening. I wanted to use my voice wisely and not expend it wastefully.
Unions have been the only powerful and effective voice working people have ever had in the history of this country.
Your spoken voice is a part of it - not a big part of it, but it's something. It puts people at ease, and once again kind of reaches out and makes a bridge for what's otherwise difficult music.

Down in the shadow of the penitentiary/Out by the gas fires of the refinery/I'm 10 years burning down the road/Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go,
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright.
