Subject: RE: Are all folk musicians political?
I think Vin's career did suffer from expressing his views. I'm pretty sure Graham Parker's career also hit a few obstacles after his anti- abortion song became a news story

Not being in sympathy with those views, it didn't bother me much at the time.

Its odd when you look at all those people voting for and supporting SPUC etc - its strange they didn't ride to Vin and Graham's rescue. After all Trump had millions of supporters. The Catholic Church , you would think, would have lent support to artists echoing their views.
