I'm willing to bet that you can't play guitar anywhere near as well as
that particular 'bozo'.  Furthermore, we all have different tastes in
music, and I'm also willing to bet that RT might not necessarily be
impressed by your tastes in whatever you define as 'folk music'.  The
lesson for us all?  Be tolerant my friend - what turns you on might
not be to the liking of others, and vice versa.  Your description of
any musician as a 'bozo', tells us more about you that  it does about
the bozo!
