the same way pro folk musicians have failed to teach the masses to sing and take part".
Wow, this is going to be a surprise to the folks who come to our concerts and regularly join in singing; as well as the thousands of folks I've seen invited to sing along at other performers concerts over the years.

Remember that I've also seen YOU interrupt singers at a party by pulling out a penny whistle and badly playing a different tune than they were singing, in a different key. You were pretty blasted at the time. No doubt you will spin this as a noble attempt to keep things real if you remember it at all. This was a small event, but it reveals much about how you relate to other people.
The other similar examples I revealed in my earlier post were a small sample of the "Conrad..again" stories that friends and associates have shared about you. If your name comes up, most folks around the area shake their heads sadly.

You're probably feeling all superior-like since I've lost the grand argument here by "attacking" you. I don't much care. I'm not attacking you; just telling folks who don't know you in real life that you regularly contradict your own statements by your actions.

You're not the visionary you think you are. I'm sure that you'll just keep insisting that that blue sky up there is really plaid; but we are too close-minded to see it. Your world-view isn't grounded in reality.
