folk music doesn't come and go it just changes shape. as it did in the forties fifties and sixties and is still doing. i'm just some punk that sees the same in leadbelly, pete seeger, pentangle and james yorkston, godspeed you! black emperor, lambchop. In my experience, the over-50s 'folkies' are the ones who appreciate tradition over innovation. fair enough, but folk music is the music of the here and now, of people in their everyday, in their human condition. and always was. and as we change the music changes. but ultimately it will always come back to somebody expressing their situation with a song that is easily understood. like the new Good Charlotte song.
