Subject: RE: 1954 and All That - defining folk music
"By all means fetishise transference but 'anon' does not only mean unknown in the traditional context, it suggests the real fun started after it was written - not only a challenge to authorship but a complete dismissal of its importance."

What nonsense! 'Anon' means we don't know who wrote it because history doesn't tell us!
