Folk songs are about folks and their lives.

Hurricane Carter

 
We both got what we asked for ... such a long time ago

 
Wasn’t shown that Carter was actually guilty, which is why Dylan doesn’t preform the song anymore?

So you are saying this is not a folk song? Maybe you do not understand the concept.

I wasnt objecting to the song, I also didnt realize I wasnt allowed to comment on the songs either

glad we cleared that up. Not all folk songs are 100% true. Except 'John Henry' , of course.
 
As far as Folk music goes, nothing and I mean nothing, for me beats the extraordinary talent and storytelling of Stan Rogers.

He tragically died in a plane accident, but to anyone who’s ever heard his music, you can’t help but be touched by it.

He doesn't perform this one anymore
 
Now that I have been reminded of folk music being about 'folks' and their life experiences, I'm thinking of composing a catchy, upbeat tune that describes the last weeks of the Heaven's Gate members!
