Subject: RE: Is it any wonder why! (folk & the working class)
The point about Donnegan and Dylan is that they inspired working class people to take an interest in expressing themselves through folksong.

And boy did that stick in the craw of the upholders of the tradition.

And my Old man's a Dustman still sounds more the native English tongue than anything on the topic label to me. And I suspect it does to most English people.
