Danh ngôn của Donovan (Sứ mệnh: 4)

The similarity between my music and The Beatles' music is it has within it a very positive quality. It's woven with humor.
In bohemian circles, we were very aware that poetry was missing from popular culture.
Coming from art school, I had a great sense of style - as did The Beatles and the Stones - and I enjoyed projecting that. Image, attitude, great music and great lyrics - that was the '60s.
I didn't know until later, but my uncle was quite a famous bohemian in Glasgow, and he played guitar. My father was a kind of a poetic bohemian, and he read me poetry.
'Sunshine Superman' was a pioneering work that for the first time presented a fusion of Celtic, jazz, folk, rock, and Indian music as well as poetry.
The 'Bohemian Manifesto' represents those that actually have to step out of society because they cannot join, but then they become the saviors of society because they create the actual possibilities of change.
Yogis have human emotions, but the thing is not to let anger and doubt become an obsession.
Meditation is certainly not a religion, cult, or spiritual path: it's actually a very basic practice to reduce stress.
When the mid-'70s came around, it looked like, 'Oh-oh, here come the punks.' But if you look closely at The Who and The Kinks, the anger and the frustration is there... There is, within me, just the same social discontent as I go through my career. But to be typecast as a singer of peace and love is fine.
