@veryfussy Educate them, veryfussy. That's why you're there.

the people in the crowd are assholes when someone asks you to sing along you do

On Family Ties, Elyse and Steven were reminiscing about folk singers. Their daughter never heard of Joan Baez or Judy Collins, but she had heard of Joan Collins.

But do young people know about the Civil War itself, let alone the folk singers who sang about it?

Gifdell, My comment about young people knowing little about past performers is based on 40 years of teaching. With few exceptions, none of my singing groups are aware of Joni Mtchell, Joan Baez, Melanie Safka, Leon Russell, Jethro Tull and the like.
To show you what I do with kids and music, visit showcaseyourmusic and type in these artists,
the marimba belles; Jemma, Brooke Pearce ; and you'll see that I do try to cover all genres and eras of music. I'm glad you are educated.

So sad. A comment on young people's culture. I teach music and virtually none of my students from age 8 to 18 have never heard of Joan Baez, Eva Cassidy or Jim Croce. They know the results of the spin masters such as Elton John, Madonna etc, but real beauty ...nah!!!
