Erica Smith Folk music is for lesbians (80* d) RE: BS: Folk music is for lesbians 19 Aug 02


speaking of lazy, I apologize for misspelling the author's name (*blush*)

I do think Ms DiFranco identifies herself on some level as a folksinger, and gains a lot of cred with me for actively trying to turn her audience on to other artists, from Woody Guthrie to Greg Brown to Gillian Welch.

Ani and Dar do have fanbases that are incredibly devoted, and/or cultlike, depending on your view. But I always found a good portion of it youth-identified rather than defined by sexuality. And the 'phenomenon' of these artists has been in swing for ten years, almost. The question, as I see it, is what's next?
