Greg,

I apologize if my posting wasn't clear and if my take on his statment was different than your take. As I said, he is certainly allowed his opinion - and I do respect it.

My issue was with his post and a few others where it seems that the knock on O Brother (and folk music) is based on what should and shouldn't considered "Roots" or "Folk" music. I took exception to Bill's "parodied and sullied" remark and telling people to save their money. Yes, that is his opinion. Mine is different.

I was also trying to add a point that we ALL get hung up on labels. I've done it too. What ends up happening is people miss the fun aspect of the music. Jerry's note hit it on the nose.

This is actually a healthy discussion. Don't take it personally!
