Now now WLD. You know perfectly well that although there is a measurable and determinable difference in the derivation of folk songs and other songs, we pedants do not deny the right of folk festivals to host and people to perform other songs. I sing some non-folk songs and even a couple I wrote, myself.

The similarity between mammoths becoming elephants and songwriters becoming folk singers intrigues me though. Is the main similarity that as they get older the hair falls off?
