For me, it is because it reminds of what I must try to do before I die. What I mean by that is that it shows me how little I really know of my fellow travellers on the planet. I am free forming here, neighbors, so bear with me. I think the essence of a person is at its best when it is attempting to be empathic towards others, to feel what they feel, and understand what drives them. When people focus on others, in an attempt at understanding, it propels us forward in an evolutionary sense. It causes us to help foster understanding between us, and tolerance of other view points. Just about the time I feel as though I have a pretty good view of it all, I hear another song, or read another thread, that sends me down a whole new path of exploration. "Folk" music is the tool used by humans to cause and learn about other peoples perspectives, experiences and feelings. As bards of the modern era, we are privileged to have this opportunity, and should take our obligation seriously. And we should revel in it, and take great enjoyment from it. Enough rambling.
