Just because good music is not on the Billboard charts or Top of the Pops it does not mean that it isn't out there. People who I saw in the UK folk scene like Bill Boazman, Johnny Coppin, Alan Taylor and Downes and Beer moved me just as much as Bob Dylan or the Beatles ever did. It may not be possible to sell committed, inteligent musicians to the broader public, but that does not diminish the value of their work one iota. It simply makes it more difficult for them to make a living out of it. For folk music that has a useful side effect, because it means only the most dedicated and honest can survive. There never was a trash free age. "Gimme Shelter", "Ballad of Thin Man" and "I am the Walrus" may have come from the sixties - but so did "I was Kaiser BIll's Batman", "Yummy Yummy Yummy" and "Sugar Sugar".
