Page "Uncle Tupelo" Paragraph 30

It's strange to hear Uncle Tupelo mentioned because what we were doing was in such a long line of musical history.

People are wrong in starting with us and saying we started anything because we were just picking up the ball, starting with Woody Guthrie and on to the early ' 60s and the Flying Burrito Brothers that we were influenced by.

We didn't start a genre.

We contributed to a long line of fairly good music.

That's the way we looked at it at the time — doing what was right for the song.
