Subject: RE: Does Folk Exist?
Personal tastes aside (always). The fact that 'Streets' is so commonly played should tell you something about the song.

I recently took delivery of a new guitar at my place of work. I got the usual 'play us something' demands from my colleagues (of vastly differing ages and musical tastes). I played 'Streets' - without singing.

To a man (and woman) they spontaneously launched into the chorus. That should tell you something about it too.

Let it simmer for 200 years - with enough 'polishing' it might become a 'good' song.
