Alan Lomax

Em uma entrevista com Robert Crumb, encontro a referência ao arquivo de Alan Lomax.

No site é possível ouvir seus registros de canções de prisioneiros americanos na década de 1940.

“Neighborhood investigation shows him to be a very peculiar individual in that he is only interested in folk lore music, being very temperamental and ornery. …. He has no sense of money values, handling his own and Government property in a neglectful manner, and paying practically no attention to his personal appearance. … He has a tendency to neglect his work over a period of time and then just before a deadline he produces excellent results.” (from the FBI file on Alan Lomax, 1940–1980)
