The best part of "teen-angst" is when they grow out of it...

Sorry, Mbo... I was firmly on yer side along this thread until that one small point... Then I just had to pick that nit...

Things change, yer right... They have to change or they die... The kids of today that are into 'celtic' music think it's all like Kilt and The Mahones... 2 bands that I couldn't possible care any less for... But that's what they like and more power to 'em... So, when I'm at a fest and that stuff starts up, I go elsewhere...

And well, only time will tell but I suspect that a lot of the "Singer-songwriter crap" (as quoted from antoher thread of late) of today is the folk music of the future... So if ya don't like that, either stay away from it, or get busy gettin' out of the way, 'casue I'm lettin' Mbo blaze the trail on this on! Let's hear it for innovation!

Besides, isn't this why you get the line-up for a fest before you order your tickets?? Then if it's not to your liking, you're casting you vote against by not supporting it...

I think this thread needs a bran muffin!
