Thread Name: More Music Less BS!
Subject: RE: More Music Less BS!
Well said, everyone....I too would like G.A.S.P., whatever that means, to answer the question, "Where does social stop and folk begin?". Is not much folk music, especially that of this country's turbulent 50's and 60's, a commentary of social standards of the time? Goodnes, if songs like "Blowin' In The Wind", et.al are not social folk, then what are they? Have I missed the point all these years?
I also will apologize to those I have upset and those that I will upset in the future with my BS posts, which far outnumber my musical posts. I know a hell of a lot more about bullshit than I do music right now (but I'm learning), so I will continue to share that which I have the most of!
Like Sandy pointed out in an earlier post, if all this is about the three threads regarding Catspaw and his dillema, then that I DO NOT apologize for. That came from the social heart of every folkie on this site and if that is what upset G.A.S.P, he may do well to find other areas, because hopefully that sense of community that makes this site what it is is will never disappear!
Wasn't it Abraham Lincoln that said, "You can please some of the people all of the time, All the people some of the time, But you will never please ALL the people ALL of the time"?
