Subject: RE: Nailing your colours to the mast...
Jackson Franck is be criticised for something he said at a gig fifty years ago by people who were not even at the gig, give the fellow a break, he cant answer back,
Francks most famous song was recorded by paul simon, wizz jones, bert jansch.
One thing he has done is got people on this thread thinking about the Biafran war,so that is a positive.
perhaps, Don, he thought the Biafran war was more important than his career.
furthermore I think you make a mistake calling someone not intelligent, on the basis of one hearsay statement from 50 years ago, it seems he cared passionately about an issue, I respect that
a lot of folk performers today only care about networking and promoting themselves.
Vin Garbutt has been criticised for having certain views on abortion, they are not views I share, but he has aright to make those views and even harangue people should he so wish, if you dont like it leave the gig.
