"The factual realty ifs that folk song is no longer the stuff that the folk scene is made of - that has now become obvious when folk rock - an experimental genre largely rejected a couple of decades ago when Steeleye and Pentangle hung up their spurs, is put up as being folk narrative, when it obviously is exactly the opposite"

Jim - that is a prime example of what I have described.

It is fair to suggest that your personal opinion on folk rock
is too out of touch and uninformed to be taken seriously,
and will be rejected by the many thousands of folk
who have better knowledge on the subject than you do.

In short, your personal opinion on this sub-genre of folk music is demonstrably wrong.

"I' afraid I find being accused of not having a grasp of factual reality downright insulting, and hurtfuk if I took it seriously"

..and again you prove my point by taking my comment out of context
and stretching it so far you can find something else to imagine
you are being insulted by...

In the context of this thread I am only talking about your opinions on some forms of modern folk music...
Obviously not your overall mental health..
That didn't even occur to me...

However, If you think I am actually suggesting you are clinically bonkers, then you must be errrrmmm.. bonkers...???
