Subject: RE: OFFICIAL No tradition of music in pubs
Shambles,

I've followed the PEL threads and I confess to being a yank who just doesn't get it and probably never will.

As an apprentice geezer who participated in several large scale public expressions of dissatisfaction with government policy during the 60s (18 that is), I remember that part of the inspiration was the example of the ban-the-bombers in England. If I remember, the thinking was that if you didn't play by the rules you MIGHT not win, but if you did play by the rules not winning was a certainty.

Have any of your aging folkies suggested action along similar lines for this issue? Just curious. Not recommending such myself. Not at all.
