" who want their anorak hobby inflicted on those of us with a love for the music. "
If it wasn't for the anoraks who got up off their arse because they thought the music was worth the effort - you wouldn't have any folk songs to sing and would have had to rely on the songs that the P.R.S. allowed to slip though their net.
Give us a break Muskie and stop 'Folk Policing' those of us whose interests extend beyond self- obsessed navel-gazing.
You'd be scrambling on your high horse with the rest of them if we started up on 'snigger-snogwriters' and 'armpit singers'
Why not try a bit of live-and-let-live - it's us who are supposed to be the 'folk fascists'
