I thought this might make an interesting thread.... I'd like to hear some examples of when you may have heard some quite unbelievable comments from "non folkies". This could be in the media, press, concert, or even at an informal session....

I'll start.

This morning, I was listening to the radio and the topic was about well known songs etc.   "Streets of London" was mentioned and neither the presenter nor the woman who phoned in could tell us who wrote and recorded same(They checked later).

What really amused(and irritated me in equal measure) was when the woman caller said something along the lines of "I can't remember who it was but it's probably because it was the only thing he's ever done"

Of course, it's Ralph's most famous song but he's got such an extensive back catalouge and repertoire as we know. Also, as we know, "hits" aren't everything in our kind of music.
