GUEST,30_button Mocking tone of 60s folk scare (60* d) RE: Mocking tone of 60s folk scare 01 Apr 08


Well, maybe I shouldn't have used the phrase "folk scare" in a subject line with "mocking."

A local (Washington DC) folk DJ used the phrase regularly in the 80s and 90s, referring to the late 50s and 60s folk boom. I still hear it used periodically by local folk performers, never disparagingly, just humorously -- a kind of insiders joke among folkies.
