Naw, GAOTF is a she, IMHO. And when she makes a comment about Rick sounding like a cheap imitation of anyone.......well, all I can say is that it demonstrates an untrained ear, and very little in the way of smarts. And then to come back and say that s/he isn't trying to be unreasonable....well, it sounds like unresolved issues to me. All of us, in developing our styles are influenced by those we admire. But what this really boils down to is the same stupid old argument about what constitutes "folk" music. In my estimation, there are a number of Rick's songs that will be passed on in the folk tradition. My personal favorite, and I will be passing it on, is "Voices of Struggle". Oh, and may I second the motion on the floor by PT and say "FUCK OFF CLOWN". Peter, I had a mouthful of ice when I read that and now must wait for it to melt in my sinus cavities. Thanks, buddy!!!!
