The problem is that Ken Burns has a history of putting out a masterful product then ruining it with political commentary. We have to see how it works out. Glad to hear that so far it’s good.

Really hasn’t been much of that.

I thought there’d be more.

I thought he had a few weasel words at the beginning.....am not a fan of Ken Burns
....but so far this is beautifully rendered

Appalachia generally has talented, family friendly folks plying their music...
....but realize the Hippy Dippys came along and tried to ruin a good thing

They have infiltrated these mountains like bedbugs....
....but the ole time music remains eternal

That’s one of the major reasons I’ve enjoyed this. There’s been no blatant ‘agenda’. I’ve heard Burns has done some outstanding work but this is the first time I’ve watched anything by him. So he’s an activist? leftist?

With the exception of interviews with one annoying Oberlin SJW-type, he’s behaved himself so far. Well done.
