GUEST,Phil d'Conch Folk Music and politics (34) RE: Folk Music and politics 25 Feb 24

Lefties have been obligated to manage all A&R... theirs, yours and the others'... under the "S" in ESG for some years now. The other side does not have anything like that formal process.

McCarthyism 1.0
Just one of those happy little casual coincidences of the arts... the Almanac Singers being labelmates to The Red Army Chorus and all.

The 1930-40s U.S. Federal Art Project (FAP); Federal Theatre Project (FTP); Federal Music Project (FMP) and Federal Writers' Project (FWP) were all famous/notorious for the politics. There were rules written, unwritten and between the lines on both sides of the aisle, under the tables and behind the curtains.

Every sponsor, public and private, comes with their conditions. Sponsors mean learning the target demographic shibboleths in the same way pro athletes learn their clichés.
