"You can say what a bunch of villains the ruling class really are, what a nasty bunch of war-mongering bastards they are. Bob Dylan made a fortune out of doing that in the '60s. Nothing wrong with that. But as soon as you go over the edge and take the step of saying the solution to the problem is ordinary working class people who are actually not just going to say the world is a terrible place, but are going to take the power of you and stuff it up your arse . . . say that we are actually going to take control . . . at that point you have gone too far. You can say anything you like except suggest a change of power into the hands of the working class. You can argue for socialism as long as you don't define what you mean by socialism."
Dick Gaughan quoted in the September 1986 issue of the Folk Roots magazine.
