Like the music, worried about the culture 237

Like the music, worried about the culture 238
No music should ever be clbuttified politically. No. They aren't required. But you did state, "in general folkies are pretty liberal...

Huh? Upon what are you basing this? Unless you have some study in hand or some hard numbers this this is simply blind speculation on your part. This is playing into the original posters hand and pandering to them on a point where they need to examine their motives.

If you appriciate an art form then it's a deeply personal experience. But, if you feel the need to some how "fit in" with the other fans in order to enjoy it then I'm sorry my friend... you're not a fan... you're a sheep. If you listen to folk music because you view it as "liberal" then you're not a folk music fan, you're just a "liberal" seeking out validation.

If you're at an art gallery and you see an awesome painting... it touches you. But... out of the corner of your eye you see a KKK member likes it too... do you decide that you can no longer appriciate it because he does? If you do ... again ... a sheep

(Steve... if you were being sarcastic then I appologise... I'm taking you literally)

Or... You could grow up and enjoy the things in your life free and clear of the desire to fit in or be accepted and punt the self-righteousness.
