Why not!!! We have had forty years of 'folk'-pop-street music just plopped on us. It would have ocurred to no one to ask for it. No one would even have dreamed it.
It just walked in one day and took over - while the clergy twiddled their thumbs and looked helplessly the other way.
And, I recall that quite a few people 'ran for the doors' and didn't come back; but nobody cared; there was no 'pastoral concern' for them.
