Twerpette (named for my dachshund Molley, the original twerpette or "goofy girl") seeks to tweak the long nose of life with humor, affection, and gravitas. Topics include dating and relationships, faith and spirituality, language and writing, journalism, technology, arts, academe, whimsy and humanity. Cheeky and tweaky, Twerpette is rated PG13 for mature language and themes. This weblog began May 10, 2005. Copyright 2005-2016 Steve Deyo.
Folk singers are not "commercially successful" like "popular music" is. Folk music is thoughtful, soulful, and deep -- not qualities that teens (since the 1960s) much less adults pine for as a rule.

it is sad that being thoughtful, soulful and deep isn't popular. Perhaps someday folk music just might become 'popular music' once more.
Amen sister! Though I doubt it for the time being. (We have coffeeshops back but commercials make fun of folk music and people have become so guarded and jaded.) Society at large will need to return to an openness to sincerity and authenticity first.
