"Talentless arsehole just about sums up Ewan MacColl; a pedlar of spurious, the bogus and the faux - so, as a figurehead of the so-called revival, he'll do just nicely. The real mountain? The man was barely a molehill. Still, nice to know that you're keeping the faith so devoutly, old man!"

As I have already explained, my use of Talentless Arsehole was inspired directly by you using that very phrase about me in the previous post. This is what I meant by the hatred that your crabby self-serving bile inspired in me regarding EM's craft; but as I say I'm over that now. However, I do stand by most of the above a pedlar of spurious, the bogus and the faux - so, as a figurehead of the so-called revival, he'll do just nicely. Perhaps he was a wee bit more than a molehill with respect of The Revival, old man - but hardly a mountain in terms of musical greatness. A big fish in a small pond perhaps?

Anyway, I'm determined to exit this thread on a happy note; so a further example of Ewan MacColl at his inspirational best.
