Oh sh*t all this time I thought I loved folk music and really I only like Bluegrass because I didnt go to colledge and am a common working bloke in the uk.
The least intresting bit about folk music is the long winded explanations about why some one is going to sing a song and why they think some one else wrote it and why we should therefore value it highly.
Music either moves you or it doesnt. It doesnt make the music bad or the listener an intelectual.
IMHO
Ask any one in UK how many folk clubs are overrun with pretentious preachy middle class types who prattle and preach instead of playing
Then ask how many folk clubs would be left if there were no middle class etc etc .......get my drift?
