Donovan: “My Father brought me up in the socialist tradition. He read me poems of radical change. Poets in the 1700s addressed the great tragedy of the working man and how the industrial revolution was enslaving mankind. With my father, revolution was always in the air. He was a unionist, brought up in the factory world in Glasgow. He went to school barefoot in 1920 but taught himself about poetry and literature. So I was well primed when I was 16 and heard the radical songs of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger and realized what was going on” (Bill DeMain, Performing Songwriter, May 2007).
