Hate Mail - I Prefer Music Made By People Who Don't Call Themselves Folkies

Last year, or maybe the year before that, someone sent me a Youtube of one of the old big-time folkies being interviewed.  I listened to it and realized that the guy was a total bore and blowhard, like the kind of drunk barroom philosophers who get loaded and want to get attention by making categorical declarations that everyone is stupid.   Again, I refer you to The Iceman Cometh in which that role is given to the eternally drunk Hugo Kalmar.  Quite often those I've run across are the stupidest of play-lefties, the kind who haven't quite gotten around to getting their I.W.W. card or, if they did, they waved it as proudly as the stupidest wannabee, phony Vietnam vet who conned their way into the American Legion and waved the flag by flapping their drunken lips,  and to about the same effect.  

I'd never heard of Eric Bogle before you sent me that link and, listening to the dolt, I'm looking forward to forgetting his name.  You guys always go for the cheap point against the easy targets, you never come up with anything that's going to change anything.  It wasn't the friggin' folkies who got anything done, that was the Black Church people who put their lives on the line, over and over again. Walter Brueggemann is a lot easier to take and actually has ideas that might lead to some kind of change.  

I prefer real folk music to singer-songwriter junk, anyway.  

If I want to hear a sermon I'd rather hear one by someone who isn't stupid.  The music in church is likely to be better, too. 

Update:  Note to Simps,  I'm not going to post your stupidest comments anymore.  They're stupid.   They all are but the stupidest ones aren't even useful for pointing that out.
