Thread Name: 1954 and All That - defining folk music
Subject: RE: 1954 and All That - defining folk music
"Designated Folk Setting"

"Familiar Overarching Living Kinesis"

"Invocation of Folk"

"I use corporeal in terms of empirical actuality"

Sinister Supporter, these are truly awful phrases, crimes against the English language.

"You can't leave Designated out of the equation - this is the Invocation of Folk that determines the context; it is saying that what will take place here will do so In the Name of Folk. Defining a Folk Context is, therefore, largely a matter of designation."

In other words, defining folk is really just a matter of defining folk. You will forgive me if I don't find this particularly helpful.

"Well - there must be a point, otherwise the word wouldn't have any value. That the word has value can easily be demonstrated so perhaps its meaning is its value? Certainly it has greater value that it does meaning, as, in effect, it can mean everything, and nothing, and yet it still has value."

I'm going to start calling you Sinister Jabberwocky if you keep going on with this sort of thing.
