	Folk music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pattern of urban influence on folk music was intensified to outright destruction as soon as the capitalist economic system had developed to the point that music could be packaged and distributed for the purpose of earning a profit--in other words, when popular music was born.
		Yet in nations or regions where folk music is a badge of cultural or national identity, the loss of folk music can be slowed; this is held to be true, for instance in the case of Hungary, Ireland, Brittany, and Galicia, all of which retain their traditional music to some degree.
		Enthusiasts for folk music might properly consider this song to be pastiche and not parody, because the tune is pleasant and far from inept, and the topic being lampooned is not balladry but the medieval heroic tradition.

	Newport Folk Festival 1965
		The earliest festivals were practically academic seminars, featuring musicians fetched from forests, front porches, five-dollars-a-night tin-roofed Mississippi barrel-houses, lefties found wandering the vast cement canyons of NYC, bluegrassers rescued from country music oblivion and tourbuses packed to the roof with ethnic singers and dancers.
		Folk music in the fifties and earliest sixties was considered a non-commercial side-railing, if not a derailing, best left to politicos, beatniks and overly-earnest undergrads.
		Newport Folk Festival is the "income-producing event" for the Newport Folk Foundation.

		The music from the 1963 festival is rousing and bell-clear.
		Jack Elliott gives a gutsy performance of "Diamond Joe" and Mississippi John Hurt's set is a triumph, especially the signature "Coffee Blues" and "See See Rider." The intimacy and excitement is palpable, even though much of the audience had never heard these songs, let alone seen this country-blues master.
		But it's the finale that's most remarkable, even if today it sounds surreal: Dylan and the folk elite--including Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, and Peter, Paul & Mary--singing "Blowin' in the Wind." An honestly moving moment, though not one that would last.

		Even in 1965, when the Festival moved to its new grounds just outside of town, there were still the slow moving crowds along the main streets and the same young city musicians playing and singing in every style from Bluegrass to Rhythm and Blues along the beaches and sidewalks.
		There are two distinct sides to American folk music today, the traditional singing and instrumental styles and the new music of the folk professionals, but while other festivals tend to emphasize one or the other, at Newport it's also possible to hear something else -- the close relationship between the two.
		Some of the music at Newport is almost a "document," a half-forgotten style, or a little known mountain banjo tuning, but the traditional performers have often as immediate and enthusiastic appeal for the audience as any of the more commercial city artists.
