theme time radio hour with bob dylan
season 1 episode 17
"friends and neighbours"
this is what he said about country music
now I love country music, but I say what happened to it?
"you hear a song like this and its obvious its about real people, and real emotions, and real problems, thats all, thats the country music we learned to love. now days they want to sweep all the problems under the rug and pretend they dont exist.
"well guess what folks they do exist! and if you try and sweep 'em under the rug, theyre just gonna pop up somewhere else. so we might as well all just face it and listen to the old style country music, the real country music. you know, about drinking and sleeping around. thats my kinda country music, and I hope yours!"
