If you are precious about labels,who has mentioned a pop song? I never did.

You can't have it both ways, prat.

Out of interest, it is you who are interested in labels. I am the one saying if you are comfortable calling it folk, then it is.

Music of the people... More often than not, a dreamer and wannabe poet singing about others...

Are you saying 80% of what are labelled as folk in Amazon listings aren't folk at all? The people and therefore the dictionaries know what folk is, a musical genre. It is also a plural of person and whimsical term of reference for heritage traditions.

You wouldn't perchance be one of those annoying gits who when the doctor confirms you weigh x stone, you say "I mass x stone, I weigh y KN" ??

Are Dylan songs folk? Baez? MacColl? Garbutt? Paxton?

Absurd, really fucking absurd..
