Think about this.

At one time, in the late 50s to the early '60s, a big, big part of the folk community was based on the college campuses where all of the frat boys were doing The Kingston Trio, The Brothers Four, The Limelighters etc.

The purists can pooh-pooh this, but millions of folk-related records were being sold to this audience, who could give a damn about politics and protest in folk music. Folk music was about fun.

This has changed and for that I am truly sorry.
