I do not think people talking about something other than folk music means they don't love folk music. It's not a loyalty issue.

Diane, I don't know why you have to post to a thread you don't like 16 times in a relatively short amount of time and just make an off-hand remark about Fiddles on Fire. One might think you actually enjoy the negativity. Would you really rather talk about something you don't like in a thread you don't think should exist with people you don't respect than start a thread on something you DO like? Never heard of the show before, and it would probably make for a great thread.

I don't the performance was set up, but definitely edited. For me, the charm is in the surprise. Everybody watching it can feel like they've made a discovery in an unlikely place.
