"Always good when the thread starts talking about me almost entirely."

Well perhaps that's because the entire thread and the so-called 'radical paradigm' you propose, was actually all about *you* from the beginning. You are an unemployed heavy drinker who wants a free party. Nothing wrong in that, but it's got nothing genuinely to do with 'expanding' folk music to *other* people: 99 % of whom do not, and indeed would not wish to share your particular personal 'lifeway'. And that includes the bulk of amateur folk enthusiasts. The rest of the world isn't there to give you what you want. And I say that as someone who sympathises with people who choose alternative lifestyles.
