···"Your generalisation about folk singers is inaccurate, and is nearly as a wild inaccuracy as the person, who made the following statement on the session forum
"Well, to be specific, most traditional Irish music is rubbish because most traditional Irish musicians are rubbish.
And most traditional english music is just plain rubbish."···

Agree with your points in general, Dick. Easy for people to get carried away and overstate things.

But one should always have at back of mind distinguished science-fiction writer Theodore Sturgeon's [obviously ironic - up to a point!] Principle Of Science Fiction:- "90% of Science Fiction is rubbish; — because 90% of everything is rubbish".
