GUEST,Mrbisok@aol Riverdance. Good or bad? (74* d) RE: Riverdance. Good or bad? 20 May 00


Hey, I thought this mudcat site (I discovered you 4 weeks ago) was a collection of sophisticated folk-heads (like myself?). The responses so far about "Riverdance" disappoint me. I'm not worried that "true" celtic music will get stomped out of existence. The good stuff will always get commercialized, just look at what happened to "The Thistle and Shamrock" show in the last 10 years. The good stuff will always be there, under the surface. My Irish music heroes are Silly Wizard, early Paul Brady, the O'Carolin (sp?) tradition. Have any memorable lines of poetry arisen from Riverdance? Any "airs" that sends you into emotional extasy?
