I have not 'changed' my definition one iota - it has been my argument all along and it isn't "my" argument to change anyway - basically, fold songs are the songs of the labouring classes, about them, taken up by them and almost certainly made by them in the first place.
They may not be better (or worse) than the products of the pop industry, but they most certainly are different in every respect.
If I have ever said anything different, I would be happy to apologise for doing so.
You can trivialise what I have said Musikie - I'd much rather you answer it.
