A good decision Jim.

Your comment reminds me of the spat between the literary critics FR Leavis and CS Lewis.

Leavis had this thing about the necessity for great writers to be 'morally earnest'.

Lewis replied, I would rather play cards with a man who simply doesn't cheat - rather than someone who is 'morally earnest' about not cheating.

I think the tradition is like that. Give me the singer who just does it, rather than the one who is forever festooning the world with historical justifications for his folksinging being wonderful, correct and the only right one.
