"Some old folkies are even more intolerant about pop music"
The only intolerance I can see here is from those who describe an effort to analyse and describe a music as 'intolerant'
Do we have to accept everything without thinking or talking about it
I can remember bitter battles with you and others about the importance of traditional song - does that make you "intolerant" ?
Not liking a genre is not 'intolerant' it's personal taste
"Old Folkies" and "extremist evalangical vegans" doesn't strike me as particularly tolerant
Look to thyself before you start casting your stones boyo
On observation, Pops songs are not there to be listened to anyway - those played as muzak, as many are, are talked over and whenever I've been unfortunate enough to be at a live session, shouted over, even by those who are there for the music
I've often wondered what would happen if someone adopted the folk club "shhhhhh, we're trying to listen"
Can't see Metalica fans being too pleased
