Subject: RE: Folksingers gone bad
Guest Skipjack - a sad story, but SO well told. Lovely. (Hm wait a minute...is that the very Essence of Folk?)
But, are there no "bunchofpopcrap"singers gone *GOOD*? (Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses? nowait) "Broadening out" into *folk*? Maybe still retaining their crappoptop roots? After all there are bigtime televangelists who renounce the things of this world for vows of poverty, chastity, and rightsized congregations with preacharounds. Um aren't there?? ("What was the subject of the sermon, Mr. President?" Coolidge: "Sin." "And what did the pastor have to say?" "He was agin it.":) Consider the lilies of the field. And fair is the lilly of the valley. nowait
That Zimmerman punk has come a long way since he last shook hands with Woody Guthrie. Before knockknockknockin' on Heaven's door agin, and It (Gawdforbid) openin' up this time -- *can he come full circle*? His heart's in the highlands. But you & I know what a circle is worth.
