Folk Musicians tend to prefer the songs of Idle Americans to those of American Idols, and since we won independance by voting ourselves off The Island in the first place....

Also, American Idols never write their own material....

However, I guess you could have called the New Lost City Ramblers a "Covers Band"....

...And instead of American Idols, we tend to look for "New Dylans" instead, so maybe that's what we can call it...

...Or "Dye-lan For Dollars"...

If a folkie is thrown off an Island, does that qualify as "Tradition", or merely as "Extradition"?.....
