yes we know that mick,
but MGM in a manner rather pompous called him a fool, and Don T sounded off about the importance of careers and described him thus "but it wasn't exactly the action of an intelligent man who intends to pursue a career,"
in my opinion that is what is partly wrong with the uk folk scene today, too many Michael Mainchancers whose only care is furthering their own career, these same people if they were a bit more intelligent should be playing the songs elsewhere on the pop scene where their desire to further their own careers would be more lucrative, and where their folky sounding pop music and attitudes belong, to quote Cromwell
It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
