I love love LOVE folk songs because of their WIDE thematic range. There's literally a song for every situation - your boss won't pay you what you've earned? Sure bud here's approximately a 100 songs about that alone. The mine collapsed? Got you covered. You're a sailor but can't come back home? Here are the 20 top jam hits for that. You solve a love problem by crossdressing? Ah yes, take your pick. You're serenading a lovely cow? There you go, old chap!!!! It's so DIVERSE and you can always discover new songs and topics. DON'T even get me started on protest songs. I LOVE FOLK MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!

"If the human race is still here in 100 years, it will be because of lots of people doing lots of little things. Bigger things can get co-opted or bought off by the powers that be. But if there are many, many little things going on it will be too hard for them to keep up with all of them. I consider myself to be a sower of seeds. Some seeds fall on stones and don't even sprout, but some seeds fall on fallow ground and multiply a hundredfold."
~ Pete Seeger
[thanks Ian Sanders]

"Giving voice to a silent river, folk singer Pete Seeger helped create an environmental group that built the sloop Clearwater. Shoreside festivals dramatize the river's plight and promise. With money raised, the organization cries foul against polluters and agencies that fail to regulate them."
National Geographic - January, 1978
