- In fact, there's an awful lot of "rock & pop" (in which categorically I very grudgingly
- place McDonna) filk written, although not much is performed in public. This makes
- sense, insofar as the requirements of rockfilk and folkfilk are different. An acoustic
- filk of "Lies" (of which there are many) sounds good. An acoustic filk of "Big Balls"
- usually won't...
