Thread Name: Us and Them: folk music and political persuasion
Subject: RE: Us and Them: folk music and political persuasion
There are some things which I have spent many years opposing that leave you open to violent reprecussions. For example, opposing the National Front (or BNP as it is now called), fox hunting, dog fighting, etc. There comes a time in your life when age prevents you from taking an active part and that is when, as I do now, I tend to sit on the sidelines and voice my opposition in songs. If this offends people then I am pleased because it means they have taken note.

As with anything I say on message boards like this, what I say in a song I am always willing to say face-to-face to anyone.
