I am a folksinger and:

am Republican these days
amsomewhat conservative
make about $100K/yr in my real job
don't smoke
don't do drugs
don't drink
am straight, not too tolerant of gays
have zero tolerance for bullshit
not out to change the world

Other than that, I play a lot of gigs, know a couple hundred songs cold, am proud of my playing and singing and feel completely qualified to be a folksinger.
