Subject: RE: Current Sad State of Political Folk Song
I meant to add to Guest.,Youth Perspective---a number of years ago in an interview I did with Ronnie Gilbert (singer, actor, writer, activist) she made the point to me ---when I questioned that the young do not do the anthem like sing-a-longs--that in concert's such as those by Ani DiFranco the audience mouthes the words. So in that sense she and I decided that probaly the younger people do "think-a-longs" as opposed the the "sing-a-longs" of those ancient "60s.
