At the somewhat tender age of 19, I consider myself perfectly normal, and I love morris dancing. I find it wonderful at the solstice and again to dance the summer in, I play music quite happily along with them. Plus after hanging about at rock fests and concerts, the folk morris clothing is A LOT less stupid, for one morris dancers can co-ordinate, and look cool.

At leasty they don't wear those horrendous velour tracksuits that apparantly "normal" people wear.

I personally think that it's shortsighted television programming by stiffs in suits (formerly known as "the MAN") that just don't want people to have fun anymore - it's the same story with the stuppid music liscnece thing. Live music - I reckon - is a human right!!!!

Anyway, what happened to teaching kids to do traditional dancing in schools - it's a better idea than sending them to cadets for a national service style training! Being at uni in Glasgow i can say that all the scotish students all learned their traditional dances as children.
This'd change some stupid stereitypes. *rant over*
