a girl with long, flowing blond hair and a guitar singing old labour songs earnestly into the microphone.

We got a video of one of her "songs" for Video Active 5. The production quality was actually pretty good, but the song... oh my god the song. It's painful lefty stuff.

is no one writing good folk music anymore?

I don't listen to folk music, but some of my friends keep raving about Dan Bern, isn't that folk?
