Do you mean "tenets" instead of "tenants" (a tenant's someone who rents a flat). yeah, it is kind of insane about not "reproducing" filk. I mean, this could be a movement in the musical subculture, unfortunately no one (well, mostly no one) will let that happen.

another bulb joke:

Q: how many folk singers does it take to change a light bulb?

A: two. One to put in the new bulb, and one to write a song about how good the old bulb was.
