WFDU - Ron Olesko Folksong-when performance/when political rally (120* d) RE: Folklore: Folksong-performance/politcal rally when 06 Apr 10


"If it is performed for political purposes pirmairly it is a political rally.

If it is a political rally rather than a performance it will have limited appeal.

It will also discourage others with other points of view

It will brand folk music generally"


To anyone reading this thread, bear in mind that those four items are opinions from Conrad. Many others disagree with each of those items. It is not criteria that is recognized to consitute "folk music", nor is it any sort of accepted criteria for performers.
