Both groups I mentioned easily get $50. a ticket at cultural centers in major cities. If they get it in casinos, more power to them.

I'm still trying to figure out what you think I said was rude. If you want rude, not to mention pompous, Rick Fielding said in his post above:

"If the gleeful geriatrics in the audience really DID make up the audience of the folk revival 40 years ago, then the music didn't really have much of an effect. Or perhaps those New Christy Minstrel fans of years ago really WERE as bland as the commercial folk groups."

That's rude.

Hey, I also thought the PBS special could have been better, but I could give a rat's ass if it didn't address the so-called hard-core folkies. There's obviously not enough interest for PBS to even try to exploit it.
