"As I've said here, I think nationalism with conquest is bad; but nationalism with eco-tourism and fair-trade is good for humanity/our multicultural world. Accordingly, I also think that the perform-your-own-culture rule of 50s and 60s English folk clubs, that I've heard about, was a good idea"

Curiously this posting has absolutely nothing to do with anything, still I didn't expect it would, what the hell "fair-trade" and "eco-tourism"(a very over-used and abused term) have to do with music is quite beyond me.

" I also think that the perform-your-own-culture rule of 50s and 60s English folk clubs, that I've heard about, was a good idea."

Sorry couldn't find this one in the The Disco Folk Rule Book (edited by Mike Harding, 1st English edition) and, no it wasn't a good idea then and isn't a good idea now.
