Regarding the tofu/meat comment:  I'll bet Mr. Robert
Earl Keen also preferred drawing the pay of a country
singer. Isn't it significant that country musicians
can hope for big money while wolfing their barbecue?

But Dr. Malone has an excellent point: When talking
about style, politics shouldn't enter in, and it's a
shame if it's politics that keeps Woody Guthrie out of
the Country Music Hall of Fame.

The fifties are still with us, I guess. I expect a
revival of the House Un-American Activities
Committee any day. (Is that what the earlier poster
meant who made the French reference?)
