I have nothing useful to add to this discussion, other than it is one I have enjoyed reading from beginning to end. Jim Carroll's personal knowledge of Ewan MacColl is, in my opinion, invaluable, and it has been worth reading the thread just for that. In addition I don't think there has been much heavy duty bickering (the topic in question). Disagreement yes; the odd inane nonsense, sure. I've seen much worse, so thanks, guys.

Art is divine, artists are human.
