"I never was and never will be a folkie. I am a person who loves all kinds of music. Folk just happens to be one of them."

If a folkie is someone who only likes music they can call folk music, I've never been one either. If a folkie is someone who passionately loves some kinds of traditional and traditional music, then I am one - and so is Mbo, I fear.

It's like the distinction between a patriot being someone who only loves their own country, and despises the rest of the world, and a patriot being someone who loves their own country and at the same time respects the rest of the world and wants other people to love wherever they come from.

Oasis sounded pretty good to me, the last time I listened to them. I'd like to hear some of the songs heard by other people with different styles, and I think that would help people listen to the Oasis versions with more understanding. (As when Christy Moore did his version of the Pogues "Fairytale of New York".)
