Geeziz.........so the movie was good/bad or the music was or wasn't trad or country or folk or whatever..........Atleast it came close to a genre that most of us like and would like to share and GUESS WHAT???? It got people listening! It got folks listening to something they had not bothered with before and if it wasn't exactly what we think they should have heard....so what? A few of them will go out and dig deeper and want more and better and maybe even get back to the roots of the music. Many won't but at least they were exposed to it.

Damn if everytime something commercial doesn't break through to the "unwashed masses" if we don't sit around and kick the crap out of it for a plethora of reasons and then kick back and complain that folk or whatever is declining. We kick hell out of the Kingston Trio for the same reason and though they aren't folk to me anymore, without them a lot of us wouldn't be into folk now. PP&M....same thing. And let's kick the crap out of Eric Clapton while we're at it for bringing a lot of Blues to people who had never really listened before. And what's the deal with Hee-Haw? A lot of the country went country and a lot of Nashville musicians got work........Where's the problem?

Why does the line "Bitch if you was hung with a new rope" keep coming to mind? What the hell do you want? Yeah, I'd love a lot better exposure but any exposure beats the hell out of what is generally out there.............geeziz...............Give it a break huh?
