Thread Name: What Is More Insular Than Folk Music?
Subject: RE: What Is More Insular Than Folk Music?
" There is plenty of folk music around and it's called bluegrass"
ummm..and there is plenty of beer out there and it's called "lager"
(I had typed 'Budweiser', but wanted the metaphor to be reasonable)
Bluegrass does what it does, and has its virtues, but is way too inbred and self-indulgent to be considered main-stream folk.
