Does anyone have a problem with this generalization: The vast majority of folk music lovers are liberal, not conservcative? -- no problem with that? OK, then it follows that this music which is heavily charged with politics will bring out the liberal voice. Liberals are big on guilt: Americans hog the world's food and it's not right. Etc, etc. There are a lot of songs out there which promote sharing! So it's reasonable that editorials will break out on this forum from time to time. -- thanks for reading this.
