Rastrelnikov	Why aren't more angry songs sung angrily? (16)	Why aren't more angry songs sung angrily?	01 Dec 97
I once heard a Welch song by a woman on NPR. It was chillingly menacing, even though it was unitellible to me. It's still the only really menacing song I can recall by a woman in any musical genre. And there are very few songs sung spitting angrily by men too. I'm just wondering why there are so few songs that are like that. Do folkies just not stay angry long enough to memorize the lyrics (as I can never remember the words to Follow me Up to Carlow)? Or are most audiences unwilling to listen to even one spitting angry song?
