Subject: RE: This should set folk music back 100 year
Sorry, I still can't see why it should be necessary to mock a style of singing which no longer exists (except for modern-day parodies).
We're all so much cleverer and more sophisticated than people in 1965,aren't we?
Or do we just like to think we are?
Every generation thinks it has a monopoly of what is good and true and right.
You can bet that, forty four years from now, very clever and sophisticated people will be laughing at us and our ways.
There'll probably be websites (if such things still exist then) paying tribute to the hilariously old-fashioned DVD and showing examples of the very silly things we simple minded suckers used to watch.
