No Dave
I have made my point - including the fact that discussing MacColl's politics etc. has not just diverted from talking about him as a leading figure in folksong, but has closed innumerable threads.
MacColl was an artist not a politician - what's your problem in concentrting on thet for a change ?
I have ignored nothing - I have participated in every single hread on MacColl - usuually in the terms they have been set out - his politics - written reams on it, his war recod - the same, all the stories - done them at length
If we can't discuss someones wotk on singing for a change on a forum heads itself to be abot "Folkson, Folklore tand the Traditional Arts" then the forum is no longre fit for puropse
Whtyt is it necessary to fight for the right to discuss macColl as an artist edvery time his name comes up
Pwerhaps I should take that to the forum on the State of today's folk scene
If MacColl's work had been taken into consideration you youdn't have todays folkies running around like blue-arsed flies saying "nobody knows what folk song is anymore"
Plwase, please, please - MacColl was a singer, not a politician or even a political activist - let us discuss that
