Yes, well....you apparently love women dressed as sluts, Richard...
I want something far more them.

And yes, yes, I know they feel they 'have the right' to dress however they want and not get molested etc etc...but actually I happen to think that's dumbed down crap to be honest. I've never dressed as a slut nor do I ever intend to...too much self respect to flaunting various parts of me all over the place.

You want to see my Body?
Then you damn well see my Soul first.

And if you fuck with my Soul, you walk...faster than a Slut Walk Protest in pouring rain.

Right, that's Richard's Dose of Sex over for today.....

Now, where were we?

Ah, yes...

Well, so far Leveller's scored 20/10 for his posts 'cos they've made me curl up! xx << Leveller

As for some of the others, well the Show of Hands one was good John c...I liked that a lot.. lol


Earlier on, in another thread called 'What is Folk Music? This is!' I put in this man's music:

Robert Mirabal - Painted Caves

And most folks fell over sideways with laughter, telling me it wasn't folk music at all...not even when I put another link in to Robert playing just the flute, on his own..That wasn't 'it' either.

You see, were I sitting round a Campfire with the American Indians I would be welcomed, respected and treated with much dignity by them as they'd introduce me to their stories, their songs.

However...sadly, when I came to sit at The Campfire of English Folk Music, I had dung thrown in my face and then The Witch Hunt started...so you'll excuse me if I choose to sit with the American Indians a while....to get my Strength back and Spirit back.

There are some folks on here who took my deep love of this music and went out of their way to ensure that ANY artist about whom I wrote was ridiculed, reviled and made to feel that to have me daring to write about them was the absolute kiss of death...

Folk StormTroopers?

No, way too mild a world for The Witch Hunter Generals who tried to get me banned from every board going...

Maybe I'll settle for The English Folk Fascists, some of whom are in Folk Against Fascism of course, and hey, you gotta see the funny side of that one! ;0)

Then there was the ARSS Campaign, which we won't go into again...save to say it was a vindictive time where all singer songwriters were again, vilified and made fun of, as being second class musicians due to the songs they wrote and how they sang them..

No, I'm afraid 'Occupy English Folk Music' is still on...we'll just have to give 'levels' some Vitamins and get him all muscled up to fight the Good Fight in the name of Music For All!   

And now, I'm going back to Robert Mirabal and his beautiful folk music.....
