Subject: RE: BS: Seeger Smothers Party- Left=right?
I think I said in a prior post, anyone is free to write any song they wish and perform any genre of song they wish in a free country. Now if anyone else finds it interesting fine for them. But trying to tell people how it should be with music is like trying to put a size 12 foot in a size 6 sneaker. It won't ever fit ... There is not 1 side only in music, there is music people want to hear or enjoy and music they don't want to hear ... if what you are saying was of any appeal to anyone then it would be performed written and played ... but for the 5 or so people who many want to hear it ... no folk club wants to undertake that and lose patrons ... my take anyway, but you are sure most welcome to your own opinion. Music is a matter of taste. ME I don't like rap music, I am on record for that, but then, rappers don't like my old country either ... and that is fine actually. I would say, write your songs or sing whatever you want ... If someone wants to listen ... that is ok with me ... but you cannot force people into a box on music ... it doesn't work that way ...

Anyway I wish you only good things
