Yep, that's it, all right, Jerry. They're endlessly reliving the wild and carefree days of their youth...the "hungry years", so that's why they listen to the same old songs over and over again. It's kind of sad.

One thing about folk music though...the songs range more widely in theme and subject matter than is the case with "radio" music, and that gives folk music more depth. The radio couldn't care less about folk music. It "doesn't sell". (C)RAP sure does though, doesn't it?

What a world we live in....the sheep all line up obediently at the till, and wait to get fleeced. They mostly buy exactly what they're told to. It's a closed loop. I detest commercial radio stations.
