Thread Name: The Concept of FREED Folkmusic
Subject: RE: The Concept of FREED Folkmusic
What I observe is thus:

Conrad is terrible and hazy at putting his point across.

His point seems to be:

He doesn't like festivals where money changes hands, but is happy for them to happen, so long as he and his like minded fellows can also have Free festivals, where no-one is paid, especially not the musicians.

One can simply pish in the bushes.

He only wants the occasional Free festival, not for all of them to become Free. Just enough to keep the music Free and free. Heck, he's even saying that Free festivals will inadvertently help the "folk" music by spreading the word.

So, what's the problem? Don't we all have Free gatherings now and then? Even if it's just a few people round in the garden drinking and playing.

Now, I know Conrad can come across as a stoned 60's ne'er was who doesn't listen to anyone else's views or even acknowledge they exist, but as far as I can see here, he's being harmless. Infuriating, but harmless.

Don't get me started on his other blinkered threads though.
