Scratch that "period" Chance, it is not that easy.

If you "drag" a child to a festival they are going to be resentful for one thing.   The other is all this crap about "brainwashing" from the media. BS!!!!! I am so sick of people making the media to always be the scapegoat - that is too damn easy and it misses the real problems! The media "brainwashes" in the same way that parents, church, politicans, peers, etc. are involved in "brainwashing".   If a parent can't lead a child to figure out right from wrong for themselves, then there is no hope.

Bare midriffs and pushup bras? Why does the folk crowd need to be denim and flannel?   That is an image that the folkies have created - "brainwashing" their audience the same way that Britney & co. do to theirs.   The "sell" is that each appealed to a specific generation at a specific point in time.   You can't manufacture that - it evolves from the culture.   Perhaps it is groups like Full Frontal Folk that might lead to new audiences.
