So what you're saying is that the only "real" music is that which speaks of "political and societal effects" and the great "working class struggle" I don't see a mass conversion to "folk" music anytime soon. Let people enjoy what they want to enjoy instead of having someone elses "world" view forced on them, be it Pop Idol, Britain's Got Talent, The Radio Ballads, Folk Waves or even Susan Boyle. Choice is what it's all about.
