I am not advising taking no social action, Bobert. I am advising setting a magnificent example. That may include taking social action...or it may not...but it will definitely inspire others to change themselves when you set a magnificent example, which is exactly what I'd say people like Martin Luther King and Gandhi did. Dylan did it too...not be taking much social action, but by writing brilliant songs. Different people have different ways of inspiring other people. Each person must find the way that suits them best. We are not all meant to walk the same walk or in exactly the same fashion, but each of us should strive to walk the best walk we can.

Joan Baez always dove straight into social action. I admire her for that. Bob Dylan didn't, but he wrote the songs that made the most difference. I admire him for that. They both walked the walk that suited them best, and that was as it should have been.
