The great thing about skiffle was that it didn't ask you to hate anybody.

I've only heard of Whittle via Mudcat, have never heard him or looked at his site. And given his endlessly repeated utter loathing of everything traditional and insistence on how the Dylan/Nashville crowd he so much likes have been persecuted by the folk mafio, I am NEVER going to bother looking for any of his stuff. If you're going to write like a perpetually adolescent Dylan epigone you can expect people will think that's what you sound like.

At least Stockhausen, Sun Ra and Lee Scratch Perry could make paranoia entertaining.
