Folk is bare bones music.

Real popular culture is folk art - coalminers' songs and so forth.

Logically, when you talkin' about folk music and blues, you find out it's music of just plain people.

There's not that much English folk music that is really that appealing.

There's a similarity between European and North African folk musics.

I don't know about folk music. I play guitar, so there's a feeling I make folk music.

I always play songs that are very based in folk music.

Music is always going to be only as sophisticated as the culture that consumes it.

Folk music usually has an emphasis on the lyrics and melody. And those lyrics are usually relevant in some way. And it's populist in scope, which is also true of Bad Religion. So it's more meant to draw some parallels between the two. And I think even my voice and my delivery can be thought of as a little bit folky.
