Do not get me started about treasonous, anti-American, degenerate old fart Pete Seeger.
And do not ever get me started about "folk music". Yech, barf, puke!!!
Use A Folk Guitar, Go To Jail!
Hippy Dippy "Folk Singers" for Communism! Damn, I like the way you think. Your post is almost verbatim what I'd say.

I cringe when I'm out at a bar/restaurant eating dinner and some wuss singer/songwriter wannabe starts twangin' on his guitar getting ready to start his 'show'.

It's almost as bad as being there for karaoke.

"It's almost as bad as being there for karaoke"

The worst karaoke I ever saw (and I've only been to one) was when I got bumped off a flight in Detroit and they put me up in the ugliest Raddison hotel I've ever been in. The "restaurant" was such a joke when I walked in, I burst out laughing. How bad was it?,.....It was sooooo bad, that the next morning I went down and took pictures of it to remember it.

It was sort of a cross between powder blue fake ocean swirls, fake palm trees, fake Polynesian Tiki Boom Boom Room and a menu that if it wasn't fried, it wasn't on the menu. Did I mention that the "service" was almost non existent? Anyway,......

The "Karaoke Room" (more like Kara-oki, not to disparage all the fine people from Oklahoma) was a barren concrete shell with institutional tables and folding high school cafeteria chairs, with 4 or 5 men and one woman "singing" their little ole hearts out. I couldn't have made this up. I felt sorry for all the citizens of Detroit. I was stunned. It was surreal to me. I must be naive.
