We avoid folk music concerts anymore because of that carp. Didn’t use to be so bad, even in the mid 80’s with Reagan and all. Now it’s just ridiculous. Some of those folks are truly deranged.
What’s funny is that although you’d *think* folk and bluegrass and folk are pretty durned close, in general the bluegrass folks tend to be a lot more the guns and Jesus types than the peace out types. ;-) Different crowd.
And fortunately, every single group I’ve seen at these festivals completely avoided politics, either way. It’s a relief to escape political tension for awhile. It seems to be worse than usual this election...though that may be just the change of environs. I don’t think so, though.
Um...few extra words in there. It’s approaching my bedtime, obviously.
