Thread Name: UK Folk Revival 2018
Subject: RE: UK Folk Revival 2018
GUEST seems obsessed with me.. flattering to some extent.. but not reciprocated...

I almost posted an exended missive addressing GUESTS utterly petty incorrect presumptions
and accusations regarding myself,
until I realised that the entire string of posts had been deleted..

But what would have been any real point posting it, even if GUEST had read it before it also got the chop..

Our anonymous antagonist aint gonna respect anything I say, no matter how valid or justified.

No big deal.. GUEST's identity, intentions, objectives for pursuing me across threads are totally inconsequential
while he/she/they hides and snipes from the netherworld of spineless non-consistent identity...

..and sorry to disapoint you.. no nerves struck..
at worst you are just a diverting amusement between household chores..
but at best you serve a purpose stimulating my long distant memories of ideas
from a more hopeful pre thatcher era,
when punk and folk offered a positive alternative counter to mainstream commercial music culture...

..and guess what, I haven't listened to much punk music at all in the last 25 years...

So it's odd to me that other mudcatters make such a song and dance of it,
somehow elevating me as defender of the safety pin and mohican media stereotypes...????

I was actually listening to Bill Nelson and Be Bop Deluxe this afternoon...
Rubbish self indulgent lyrics and song structures imho.. but great guitar playing and tone...

[mod - please can you let this post survive,
and I will try my best to ignore GUEST's need for further reaction from me.. thanks...]
