The thing is, 'glueman' I wouldn't be 'on your case' if you didn't insist on talking such pernicious nonsense. At the start of this thread you concede that "Folk Exists" (Wow! Great concession!) but elsewhere you insist that the baby boomers have got it (folk music) all wrong and should be doing something different - although you refuse, or are unable, to tell us exactly, what they, or succeeding generations, should be doing instead. I maintain that without such a manifesto you are playing straight into the hands of the 'anything goes, all music is folk music' brigade (perhaps you're one of them - it's hard to tell).

You also don't like definitions and state that citing sources is "an extraordinary thing to do" (does that mean that citing sources is wrong?). So, in spite of all the First Year Social Sciences mumbo jumbo, you appear to have an anti-intellectual bent as well. Further up the thread you tell us that one of your occupations is 'lecturer'. Do you tell your students that citing sources is "an extraordinary thing to do"?
