Bit difficult to dance on someone's grave before they are dead. But if you were around the London folk scene in the 60's you would know that many people then had very similar opinions of MacColl as to those being aired now AND they didn't keep quiet about it.

I can't always agree with Jim Carroll's postings but I hope that his most recent will put paid to some of the blinkered acceptance of what a wonderful man Kennedy was. Listen to the facts for and against from the people involved and make a balanced judgement.
