:::Conrad is over in the corner, curled up and producing odd blatting sounds by blowing into his sleeve. He's forgotten how to form full sentences.:::


We all realize that you'll say anything at all to "defend" youself, Conrad. Take a deep breath and step back a bit. Is it fair to say that you're worried that folk music in Germany and England seems to be manipulated to have an political overtone? Do you think that has happened in the USA and you're using Pete Seeger and the Smothers brothers as examples? Do you understand that part of the problem is your very narrow definition of folk music?

In the mean time, admit that you have no idea, apart from that tv documentary, of who Pete Seeger or the Smothers brothers are. You've been out of the USA for 45 or more years, don't speak the language, and have no idea of what happened then or now. Start another thread after you've gathered your wits.
