"and there's this perfect quote from Bob Copper in 2002"
And an even better one IMO from Lowry C Wimberly's 'Folklore in the English and Scottish Ballads (1928):
An American Indian sun-dance or an Australian corroboree is an exciting spectacle for the uninitiated, but for one who understands something of the culture whence it springs it is a hundred fold more heart-moving."
Jim Carroll
