Thread Name: Whither the politics of Folk?
Subject: RE: Whither the politics of Folk?
I don't subscribe to the "every thing is political in some way" school of thought, but I don't decry songs expressing disgust with the system, I've been known to sing some myself. I'm railing against party politics, and feel that they should not intrude on the audiences enjoyment of what should be entertainment.
PA, if the sexual proclivities being promoted were paedophilic, I don't think any of us would feel quite so sanguine.
