Richard, it's a very good question. I suspect that the short answer is 'yes' but it may not be folk music as we know it. Punk, for instance, was orginally 'do-it-yourself' music and, I suppose, some mught consider it to be folk music - certainly music in the folk tradition. If the scenarion you paint does come to pass (and I fear that it might), I suspect that there will be a lot more direct action on the streets, maybe from the likes of me who, after working for over 40 years, feel dispossessed. With that action may come a new type of protest music. It's all quite exciting in a rather depressing way.
