Mr. Bridge, "I gently suggest you need to challenge your own repressions. What you say so strongly echoes the art establishment response, for example, to composers who "broke the rules" of classical composition, to "Dejeuner sur l'herbe", the response of the Reverend Dr. Bowdler to Shakespeare. Art - including the performance of folk music - may not be that great, but if it is not allowed to disturb it will never be great... If you censor all art that is capable of causing offence you do art a disservice. If you do not censor it but withdraw then you likely do yourself a disservice." Or so you said, in part, on March 14 and 15. Maybe it depends on whose ox is being gored.
