Freepers at the Folk Festival |
|
Edited on Sun Sep-07-03 11:17 PM by GoddessOfGuinness
When I think of folk music, I think of liberal activists spreading their message with music. OK, there are plenty of songs about love and death and non-activist related subjects; but the last type of person I associate the genre with is republican.
Yet at today's festival in Takoma Park, there was apparently a "Bush in 2004" booth handing out latex balloons. I SO wanted to pop them! I was surprised at myself. It really bothered me that I couldn't find a momentary haven from that jackass even in a folk festival. :grr:

LOL!
25,000 extra points for using "scrutinized" in a folk song!

Also some gospel, is done at Folk Festivals.
I seen one guy openly boo (verbally and showmanship thumbs-down) Tom Paxton when he did a song unfavorable to Bush at a Folk Fest here.
He got zero support from the crowd and he har-umphed his fool self out soon after.
The lacking in normal social skills + political leanings + quickness to throw a snit fit matches the Freep profile.
On Edit. Oooops!

He does not have an over-inflated ego in any way!
He was mingling and talking with people when he wasn't performing.
He is a freakin' legend but he was so casual and easy going it was incredible.

14. you should go to some Bluegrasss festivals around here. |
|
...the fan base is WAY different than on the West Coast.
Its actually kind of scary to go to bluegrass festivals...mix of scary redneckism and seriously repressied fundy gospel subculture.
