completely agree with you clinton.

to me, a big part of folk music is about upholding traditions, and if we're going to go about changing the words just because it offends someone, it's defeating a part of the object.

it's things such as "political correctness" that are slowly ruining the folk industry - stick to the traditions & sod the sad poeple who feel they have to moan about some figure of speech.

i live in yorkshire, england, and we find it increasingly amusing to listen to anybody trying to be politically correct, cos it sounds rediculous & just doesn't work over here.
