Folk musicians have a lot of the same self-importance, but they're way more cruel and jealous than rock musicians - I know this for a fact because I used to be a folk musician.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Folk music is a bunch of fat people.
I don't think of myself as a folk singer per se, but I really like blues and string-band music. When I started listening to records when I was a teenager, the folk boom was going on.
I've always considered myself a folk singer, even though we strapped on Rickenbacker guitars and played pretty loud.
Musicians play music because you love... I loved to play drums since I was five. It's all I ever wanted to do. Rock stars, or as we call them, posers, guys who want to just look great, dress great. They're not musicians; they're looking for the fame.
I've always thought about myself as somewhat of a folk musician. I just write words. I don't think I'm even a musician. I don't play a lot of instruments, not really a soloist or anything.
Folk music is music that everyday people can play, and it inspired a lot of people to make their own music. That trailed into making your own pop music, and that's why garage bands started springing up everywhere.
I don't really know what 'folk music' means anymore.
Folk rock was my real roots. I did a few gigs as a folk artist, in the style of Fairport Convention.
I don't know about folk music. I play guitar, so there's a feeling I make folk music.
Folk is bare bones music.
