Thread Name: Why I Hate Folk Music
Subject: RE:
Murray, so true. A day doesn't go by that I don't regret the way my baby-boom generation threw out the values that kept families together. The counter-culture movement (and I participated) was a social experiment that failed, and we are reaping the bitter harvest now. Songs that promoted and sustained civil rights were great, but there were other attitudes, probably more promoted by rock lyrics than folk lyrics, that promoted the breaking of bonds that nurture children and families. (ok, off my soap-box, now)
