ResumoHunger stole upon me so slowly at first. I was not aware of what hunger really meant [emphasis added]. Hunger had always been more or less at my elbow when I played, but now I began to wake up at night to find hunger, staring at me gauntly … this hunger baffled me, scared me, made me angry and insistent … I would grow dizzy and my vision would dim. I became less active in my play, and for the first time in my life I had to pause and think of what was happening to me. ( Wright 1977 ) Hey, hey Woody Guthrie, I wrote you a song ‘Bout a funny ol' world that's a‐comin' along. Seems sick an' it's hungry, it's tired an' it's torn, It looks like it's a‐dyin' an' it's hardly been born. ( Bob Dylan 1962 ) If no one seems to understand Start your own revolution and cut out the middleman In a perfect world we'd all sing in tune But this is reality so give me some room So join the struggle while you may The Revolution is just a T‐shirt away ( Billy Bragg 1998 )
