„Yes, my child, it’s
true: there were giants in the earth in those fabled days. Their myths and
tales are preserved in the songs that have been passed along; the truths of the
sagas are in the plain-spoke words that you now hear, sung to melodies that are
torn from the fabric of the sky, soaring above gritty rhythms hewn from the
very earth.“

Chet Flippo in den Liner Notes zu „The Band, Across The
Great Divide“ (Box-Set)

tomorrow never came.“
