Define Folk
I remember picking up an Australian guy from the Airport once, and trying to be hospitable I asked what he listened to.
As I recall i think he said Jack Johnson and Ben Harper. My shotgun said "oh so like folk music."
"well its not what I'd call folk, but sure"
I'm sure its not what many would call folk, but I'd like to know why. Not that I agree, I just want to know what makes folk - for you - folk.
And to throw some heat on this fire, I attest strongly that rap is folk music. So if you don't care to define folk, tell me why I'm wrong about rap being folk.
