I'm afraid that is folk music you're playing, tar heel. Which isn't always true of a lot of the stuff the people you don't like the look of play. (Though I've come across people who look just like that who seem to have a similar attitude to a lot of things to the one you've been airing recently, and I'm not too keen on it from them either.)

It can be good to air the differences from time to time, though I think it should always be done with as much respect for people we disgree with as possible - but we ought never to forget that people who disagree passionately on that stuff can have an awful lot in common, when it comes to other things. Music for a start, but not just music.

And the idea that any type of music and any type of politics are irrevocably fastened together is nonsense. With songs it can be different, but most of the time it isn't.
