The Pooka folk song politics (86* d) RE: folk song politics 12 Apr 03


Q - still tryin' to loosen up those cobblestones, eh? :) "Are there any folk songs for or by: The guy who runs a service station? A laundromat? A plumbing service?...[etc.]" Naaah; those boring guys don't Protest, they just Whine and Posture. See, true Folk music is always for *my* Folks. If *your* folks take a different view, well, y'know, then they just ain't the real Folks. :) You gotta keep up on which foot is currently shod. Not to mention whose ox Al gored. / Woops! LOOK out! Peasants with Pitchforks, comin' over the hill!!

Clint Keller - "...But a folk song has to be singable primarily." Hey! What you got against early Dylan? :)
