Seeger’s (and Guthrie’s) notion of folk music had less to do with actual American sources than with a Communist-inspired Yankee version of Proletkult.

Same goes for that other fraud, Bruce Springsteen.

He should have been jailed for what he put his family through. A one room self built house with no running water and no electricity. I often wonder "what did they eat?" No romance there I submit.

IMO he was a bum...couldn't play a legitimate instrument and like a few others, played his own stuff because he lacked the discipline to learn music.

"Same goes for that other fraud, Bruce Springsteen."

Couldn't agree more! Add the faux talent, Tom Petty, to the list.
