Thread Name: The re-Imagined Village
Subject: RE: The re-Imagined Village
As I had to say to Jim Moray on the Sidders thread, S., "fascism" is opposed to democracy and socialism and, thus, I am opposed to it. English folk who wish to perform more than the tune may venture into English classical music - with it's use of harmony and other more-sophisticated techniques. Jazz, rock, and pop are American genres that have been copied by citizens of the above nations you mention - often to the detriment of their own trad forms and, thus, our multicultural world. In this way, nationalism with conquest is bad, but nationalism with eco-travel and fair-trade is good for humanity. (For more on this you may like to check my Messages.)
