mutineer	folk song politics (86* d)	RE: folk song politics	14 Apr 03
Not only is folk music a genre, it's also a movement. Look at many of the great folk bands/writers- alot of their music was sung about political issues as their respective time. The Clancys sang songs of Irish rebellion, Woody sang songs for workers' rights, Dylan sang songs for civil rights, and the list goes on and on. I guess the link developed because usually music that is considered to be 'protest' is usually not commercial...
