"Whilst you are all arguing, some of us are busy getting out there, making music and not thinking for a moment what box it should sit in"
If you are into folk song, you have been given the songs you sing by people who decided which box they should sit in, otherwise, we'd still be passively listening to "I'm a pink toothbrush, you're a blue toothbrush" - a folk song, by somebody's reckoning
If you're not interested, leave those of us who are to get on with doing what we do
