Subject: RE: Ewan MacColl
The leading 'folkie" (so called) on the scene has used a pseudonym without comment since his appearance
I have yet to see a discussion on Robert Zimmerman which seeks to denigrate what he does as an artist
It's always amused me that some of the loudest Bobby-Bleaters are the first ones up to throw name-change at MacColl
I was amused once when even arl Dallas joined in the kicking in 'The Living Tradition' - I remember Karl is the early days when he was part of the Duo Fred and Betty Dallas - not important - just amusing
I don't give a toss about any of this other than object to not being able to discuss the unique and very usabley body of work Ewan left behind that we are unable to discuss because of this anti-fanzine froth
