When all folk music sounds alike, then you'll know people have sold out. If everyone adopts mock-Oirish accents, or imitates the nasal drone of the Watersons, or some generic Midwest burr - and that's all that people will buy or play on the radio - then we're doomed.

So long as people are still singing in their own voices, and people are still going to listen to them and buying their CDs, then we're probably OK...
