“I just want to make a difference,” Valentine adds. “I had to get this stuff out of my gut, and say what needs to be said in a way that could change someone’s mind, someone’s attitude, or just make them stop and think.” Having rediscovered his voice singing the protests of others, he’s begun working on songs of his own once again tapping into the protest song tradition that made his name four decades ago. Billy Valentine’s time, it seems, has come again. “My work’s not done,” he nods. “I still have more songs I want to sing, social commentary things, if it’s meant to be. I’m a vocalist, and just like a runner has to run, a singer has to sing.”
