Thread Name: Does it matter what music is called?
Subject: RE: Does it matter what music is called?
One of the (many) amusing facets of this debate is that those who privilege unattributed transmission of music get their knickers twisted when the common, unidentifiable, word-of-mouth man decides what music shall be called. That it seems, is the work of committees and academics. Well folk have decided what folk is called and ignored the dead hand of authority - which is perfectly in keeping with its progenesis.
