Peggy Seeger Quotes

I�m not much of an authority on what�s happening in America. I really haven�t been here long enough. Ewan MacColl and I didn�t do festivals. Because we didn�t like the �stop-start,� �stop-start� thing that goes on in festivals. I compare it to greyhound racing. You know, the gun goes and you have 5 minutes to do your bit and that�s it. Generally, I prefer concerts. I�ve been doing festivals because I think it�s an important discipline to have. And, probably apart from anything else, it gives me a chance to hear other performers, which I love to do.

The U.S. media has not given me much airtime. I hope to remedy that. I don�t know that I�m popular stuff. My songs have a lot of words. And some of them take a lot of thinking about. I think I�m probably not �sensational� enough. I�m not �smooth� enough. I don�t know. There�s something that I�m �not enough of.�
