Sorry, SB. Don't really like Ralph McTell that much. I can't help it, it's just a matter of personal taste. Doesn't mean I'm ill informed. You go ahead and enjoy though... different strokes and all that. Meanwhile I have no opinion on the "rap bad, Ralph good" school of thought...

PDQ: I thought this was a discussion about whether rap music and the folk process had any degree of interface. With respect, why not take your riddles and inferences to the BS section below and say what you really mean.
