Au contraire, small salad, you are the one who said, 'give me the hard stuff', as though folk had to be unlistenable, or obscure, or in need of learning to be any good. I say it IS a broad church but the same hackneyed sterotypes keep trying to narrow it down to those in tune with higher vibrations like a dodgy medium. Or obsessed with definitions.

If you don't believe folk is largely a middle or old aged pursuit of jaded types in search of some folk mother lode (usually ranting that everything they don't approve of is pop) I suggest it's you who needs to get out more.
