I think we have responsibilities to be active in the things we believe in, regardless of what our job is. at least in my lifetime, there has been a tremendous combining of activism and music, that came up in the era of pete seeger and the weavers and joan baez and bob dylan and peter paul & mary.

More From Bonnie Raitt

I always remember what bob dylan said in that [martin] scorsese documentary on him. when he was asked about joan baez's complaints about the way he treated her when they were together, dylan laughed and said, "it's impossible to be in love and wise at the same time."

Peter erred in life and in doctrine. paul might have dismissed peter's error as a matter of no consequence. but paul saw that peter's error would lead to the damage of the whole church unless it were corrected. therefore he withstood peter to his face. the church, peter, the apostles, angels from heaven, are not to be heard unless they teach the genuine word of god.

Then about 12 years ago it dawned on me that folk music - the music of woody guthrie and phil ochs, early bob dylan, johnny cash, pete seeger - could be as heavy as anything that comes through a marshall stack. the combination of three chords and the right lyrical couplet can be as heavy as anything in the metallica catalogue.

Major league baseball has created a pete rose purgatory, and that's where he is. and that's where he's always going to be. it's unfortunate that the commissioner's office has decided to allow that to be the reality. i don't think pete would mind if they said 'no' to pete. pete wants them to go one way or the other and get him out of the void he's in.

I was comparatively late in understanding bob dylan's overwhelming importance as a songwriter. everybody who does my job exists in the shadow of bob dylan. there are two categories: dylan and everybody else. it's as simple as that. and it's going to be that way until he dies.

Joan mitchell, joan baez, judy collins - that was my mom's era.
