GUEST,WalkaboutsVerse Pop Goes The Folk Singer (338* d) RE: Pop Goes The Folk Singer 27 Apr 08


For hundreds of years, English folk enjoyed singing their folk-songs in much the same unaccompanied way. Now, the BBC, e.g., DOES give a lot more airplay to, e.g., American rap, which I genuinely find nowhere near as enjoyable as folk - I CAN say that. And, going by the promo, rather than the show itself, nearly all of Jewels Holland's live muscic TV show is either American's pefrorming American music or English performing American music, when we DO have our OWN good culture. This is, of course, happening in many countries but in England it's reached a ridiculous level! And this IS quite different from saying I don't like any American music/culture within our multicultural world.
As for zoos...

Poem 203 of 230: IN SITU

When faced with a critical view,
    A zoo's main raison d'ĂȘtre is -
The conservation of species;
    But this can be done in situ.
