Thread Name: The Concept of FREED Folkmusic
Subject: RE: The Concept of FREED Folkmusic
This thread kind of reminds me of the man with a congregation of just 50 people who is getting international media attention because he's going to burn the Koran. If everyone just ignored these bozos, they would go away. Telling them, repeatedly, that they are bozos gives them the attention they crave. Arguing their points with them leads them to believe that they have an argument worth actually considering.

Is anyone likely to take on board Conrad's manifesto, and shit in a hedge with 30 other people in order to listen to a bloke who lives down the road? Nope. Instead, we will all continue to do what we love to do in the way(s) we love to do it. Is reiterating this fact going to get him to change his tune? Nope. So why not just leave him to it?
