Thread Name: The 'New Folk Movement'?
Subject: RE: The 'New Folk Movement'?
The only problem I have with what you said Spaw is And EVERYONE when they're young find that "our" music is great and the old folks don't understand it. I'll probably be dead thirty five years from now, but I'd love to talk to you then.

I'm sorry but I just don't believe in that. This music,just like your folk, will carry on as long as someone is there to enjoy it. Spaw, the music of your youth is just as popular with me as anything else. You think that everyone has forgotten it, just as you "think" the modern music I like will some day? Well FORGET IT! Because even though I didn't live through the 30's, 40's 50's 60's and 70's I still know and love the music that came out then. To say that it has been forgotten and to revert to some older style is stupid. I like the music of your youth even though you may not anymore, and there are a lot of young folks besides me, though you may not see them, who know this music too. I'm SURE the our modern music will be remembered 35 years from now. And if you don't believe me, come to HearMe sometime and I'll sing you the hit parade of 1965.
