Ewan me & a dog named boo -- just in case the last question in your post was a serious question -- Ewan M. is deceased.

It seems to me he wrote because he had something to say (and said it well). Tw

Hi guys,

I'm writing about Ewan MacColl's songwriting techniques, specifically with regard to the tradition in my dissertation, but have been searching in vain for a quote as to why he chose to do this: i.e. he wanted folk song to be an evolving tradition, it was left-wing propaganda etc.

Can anyone point me towards an online source? Or tell me yourself and I'll quote you as folk experts?!

Much appreciated,

Chris
