Spaw, I think you're being entirely too hard on 53.

He's not really dumb, he's just from South Carolina. When The Weavers and Kingston Trio brought folk music to the masses in the late '50s the people in S.C. were still fighting a guerilla campaign to rid themselves of the carpetbaggers. They had no time for such frivolity as folk music.

Now, since Bob finally twigged on the Beatles and DC5 (I think he caught on to them about three years ago) I have every confidence that he will studiously trace their musical heritages back through the early days of rock'n'roll and right on back to blues and gospel, mountain music and cowboy songs. Hell, I even have confidence that within a year or two he will produce the definitive work on the Celtic roots of Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston. So I just think you should lighten up on the guy, OK?!
