More than ten thousand Tennesseans voted for Kanye West.
... ... Think about that for a moment...
The votes for Kanye is puzzling at best.
I love the Kingston Trio.
My son lived in Boston for a few years. I had to explain "Charlie in the MTA" to him.
TOM DOOLEY
I wonder who is hangin' down their head today....
Thanks a lot, Arkansas. 4,040 votes for Kanye. Y'all just love to be laughed at, don't ya?
He's supposed to be a singer, isn't he? I've never heard anything from him. Have you?
I believe the term is "Rap Artist" but since I don't listen to rap, I've never heard any music from him
Are you implying that rap artists are not singers?
I'm shocked!
Shocked, I tell you....
Imo he needs to be taken away by men in white coats and put in a padded room.
Could you image someone being proud of that vote...
I did not say that, Bob. I do consider some of them to very talented because their lyrics are quite good. Some of them are real poets
You're more generous than I. I'm an old codger here. Most rap is junk. No melody, pretentious lyrics, awful diction, ...
I'm not a fan.
I was a folk music afficianado, was a director and eventual President of a folk music foundation running a major folk music festival, created Toronto's first Folklore Centre modeled on Izzy Young's Greenwich Village's New York Folklore Centre, and a friend of many famous folk singer-songwriters, counsel to some, and I think The Kingston Trio was "plastic" and just made authentic folk music more palatable "easy listening" for the general public.
You want to hear authentic? Listen to Frank Proffitt sing Tom Dooley. If you can't open this link, you are bound to find it on YouTube.

The link work fine.
You're undoubtedly right about the trio... but hey! I was still pretty young.
