Barry, dont get me wrong, I may be cynical, but I do care about people. I care about historical events and chronicaling (sp?) , good vs evil, right vs wrong. but with the exception of voting now and then when something on the ballot affects me personally, I must admit that I usually react agains issues rather than come out for them. The folk revival died in the late 60's because it had become a forum for the new left. As a traddie, and student of historical folk, I'm not saying its bad or good it was just a shame.Study it ...dont preach it.
