GUEST,Phil Dirt Revisionist opinion on the Kingston Trio (145* d) RE: Revisionist opinion on the Kingston Trio 25 Jul 01

My own curiousity has always leaned toward wondering if they wouldn't have (and the rest of the "folk movement") had a prolonged popularity if they hadn't been so clean-cut.

It kinda seems in the looking back that the reason the Weaver's have more legs in our memory/taste is expressly because they were the social rebels (which sort of went hand in hand with the evolving message of folk music).

The world was ready for "Bad Boys". The KT may have been a victim of their own trained image. To this day I more often find myself, with melani's daughter, laughing at the miss-match of style to message.

...that, and their "humor" wasn't funny.
