"Folk songs are the songs of the labouring classes"

That's we said when we were in punk bands in the late '70s.. Except we called it punk so as not to confuse people, a bit like Amazon and itunes do when calling folk "folk."

Making it up as you go along again eh? Lots of songs written recently on that bandwagon.

zzzz


Mind you, we'd never use a condescending phrase like labouring classes just because our songs patronised sections of the community, (bored youth in our case.)
