What's a folk song?

"A folk song is usually seen as the authentic expression of a way of life now, past or about to disappear (or in some cases, to be preserved or somehow revived)."

I like this concept of creating a piece of art that focuses on how the "current" way of life, as in when the song is written, is about to disappear. The song being used to continue on a tradition. Making a conscious effort in the now to ensure that the future confronts and experiences something from its past. Art as a means of keeping the blood pumping through the veins of an era. A minor time travel/history book created via a few simple chords and a stream of carefully chosen words

I have 1 month left of being 22. And then I will be 23.

Hmmmm

I don't want to sound overly paranoid, but if last night's power outtage wasn't alarming enough, today my car just stopped working. There's gas in it. There's oil in it. The battery is fine. It passed an inspection last week. And yet now it will not work. I smell sabotage! If you creeps that are attempting to ruin my life are reading this, chill out!
