I have to agree with Jim Lad's post at 15 Sep 08 - 12:07 p.m., although I don't think I would go as far as flowers. I might include with the refund of their money a small lecture, something in the nature of, "I'm sorry if you were offended, but it is the nature of folk music that, along with love songs, occupational songs, and ballads, it sometimes deals with social and political themes. Good day, ladies."

Nor would I go so far as to grab them by the scruff of their necks and frog-march them out the door, but the urge to do so would probably make itself felt.
