Thread Name: Does it matter what music is called?
Subject: RE: Does it matter what music is called?
"But you're taking an apple in one hand and an orange in the other and saying that it's perfectly all right to call them both "apples." "
THAT'S THE POINT - NO ONE IS CALLING THEM APPLES. WE ARE CALLING THEM FRUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AN APPLE IS AN APPLE AND AN ORANGE IS AN ORANGE!!!
Sorry Don, you are interpretting this all ass-backwards. No one is saying that an apple is an orange!!!!!!
Folk music is to fruit what apples are to sea chanteys and oranges are to contemporary singer-songwriters.
