Might this be of any relevance here I wonder? Nabbed from another thread I admit, but it occurred to me that such deliberate departures from what most of us might accept as being traditional are in themselves interesting if only so we might see our own personal myths about such things reflected therein. Personally I blame The Wicker Man which seems to have become a pamphlet for all manner of such bogus nonsense, but entertaining in itself of course as the only Horror Folk Musical, no matter how disjointed the folk elements might be. So what's new there I wonder?

Nowt to do with ECD as such, though one might ponder the May Pole itself, once such as essential feature of ECDing at school, however so sanitised from its original (gulp!) phallic significance. And for those who haven't seen it, or would like to see it again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSvJgRSiJSM
