Subject: RE: 1954 and All That - defining folk music
PS This thread is just getting abusive now. Guest, Ed: if you don't understand what Sinister is saying, why not ask him to clarify rather than stoop to playground tactics? Don and M. Ted, you're not so far behind... And Ted, if you read Sin's posts you'll quickly realise he has BUGGER ALL to do with the ubernationalist pillock you so wrongly conflate him with. I don't wholly agree with SS's thesis (and I suspect he wishes the scenario he describes not to be the case, if only to avoid people singing Hotel California), but I understand exactly where he's coming from. I don't believe he's trying to redefine folk, but merely to understand and describe what he sees when he goes into, erm, designated folk contexts.

Having said that, a singaround pal last night suggested to me that "Spleen Cringe" was in fact Sin using a second Mudcat ID...

Off to turn my bathroom into a temporary DFC...
