I did not say that everything would be ok,.
I am saying that if people feel strongly about something they should be able to speak their mind, Franck may not have put it across in the best way, but by his action we are now talking and thinking about the Biafran war 50 years later.
I bet Franck was quite young at the time and possibly not all that experienced as a performer, I doubt if Pete.Seeger or MacColl would harangue his audience., but they get their point across in a more subtle manner.
I would agree that harnguing an audience is not something i would do, but I believe every performer has a right to talk and sing about matters they fell strongly about, the skilled performer can do it without haranguing an audience.
If people want bland, inoffensive performers on the folk scene , then god help the folk scene.
