Well, I have nothing against Donovan, he does what he does well and some of his songs are really good. But it 'aint really folk is it? Acoustic and Folk 'aint the same thing. Even if it was Folk, does his rather meagre contribution from the sixties (I am not ware of anything he has done since) really qualify him for a lifetime achievement award? Really?
This just discredits folk music, which is just about the last thing we need.
