LEJ Singer-Songwriters: A Defence. (93* d) RE: Singer-Songwriters: A Defence. 12 Jun 99


Chet w... I'm not too sure that "the open-mindedness" of the old days of folk ever existed. Bob Dylan was certainly not welcomed with open arms when he amped-up at Newport in 65. And although many viewed his change from more traditional forms to the hated guise of a rock-edged "singer-songwriter" as a betrayal, I think it opened up the door to his true greatness, and benefitted both folk and rock in the years that followed.
