punkfolkrock music is a Johnny-Come-Lately and really is more about janging it to society than creating a viable musical form of expression. You are lucky to live in Cape Breton where there is a viable folk culture that has a rich heritage. You would be well-advised to study this tradition and avail yourself of a vibrant and truly virile musical culture instead of wasting your time railing and ruining your voice by trying to shout down the Establishment.

True Revolution occurs when there is a foundation for it not only politically but culturally.

The real Socialists leaders are plugged into their historical roots and have used the musical culture of these to advance their ideas.

I see Socialism as part of the important aspect of society as well but I think sometimes the punkrockers are skimming the surface of music and not appreciating the place where their music comes from.

In short, stop dissing folk culture and understand that without it you would have no viable form of musical expression.
